I'm battling depression today. Actually, no - I'm showing depression my soft white underbelly today.

Thaaaat's better. Class, take notes: Accuracy pays.

Sincerely hoping this is just a hormonal thing, or at least a blood sugar thing. Something I can deal with.

I ate a late breakfast and already feel marginally better - better enough to write y'all, for instance. Maybe a walk at lunch and a big big salad will help.

I saw this, though, and I had to jump online and share. I thought some select few of you might appreciate, as I do, the Confluence of Awesome it represents:

David Thewlis, best known to American audiences for playing Remus Lupin in the Harry Potter movies, has joined the cast of Red 2, Summit/Lionsgate’s sequel to the hit 2012 [actually 2010] action movie [...] Thewlis is playing a character called The Frog, an information dealer who got his name by poisoning the water supply at the Kremlin using a poisonous Amazonian frog.

People! Do you understand what's happening here? They're making a sequel to my Number One Guilty-Pleasure Movie of 2010! And it will co-star my dear Remus! And he will play a cuddly bad guy - or possibly a cuddly reformed bad guy! Or possibly a cuddly good guy. I don't know yet. But in any case, he might even have a Russian accent!

This news is doing more to kick depression's butt today than any number of big big salads.

NO WAY! *dances with unmitigated joy* I loved the first movie (Malkovich was a complete loon, but lovable), so this is just like icing on the cake.

A Remus-shaped cake. mmmmm

As for the depression, I empathize. Today has been bad. *hugs for you*

*Hugs back* I thought of you when I saw this.

Babe, I'm sorry you are feeling low. I actually didn't see the first movie, but I'll be on the lookout for the sequel.

I'm getting ready for a walk with

kmhmd and boy do I need it. I stepped on the scales today (been healthy eating for over a month, and while clothes and body feel different, I haven't got up the nerve to weigh until today). Boy do I wish I hadn't. Ignorance is truly bliss. So, yeah, I feel like ugly fat girl deluxe. Now I really will, walking next to gorgeous, sexy

kmhmd. Ignorance really is bliss.

{{{Hugs to you sweetie. I wish I could be there to smother you in my wholly fat ugly embrace. It really would make you feel better about yourself.}}}

Oh, sweetie! It sounds like I'm not the only one in need of an endorphin fix. Get out there, get some sunshine. I'm off to do the same.

I hope it's just "one of those days" and that tomorrow will be better.

*big squishy hugs*

Thanks, M. I hope so, too!

By all means, if you want me to make you laugh with my silly antics or just vent, or send a blank email just because you feel like it, I'm here!

Yes, I'd appreciate all these things! Plus a certain fic you've been holding out ...

Oh! We accidently found Red and it quickly became a huge favorite with us! The first thing out of my mouth as the credits rolled was that there HAD to be a sequel! Woohoo, for sequels!
Here's hoping you feel better, dear! :)

More people should see "Red." The plot isn't exactly the most inspired, but it has Helen Mirren, who plays a assassin. Her male counterparts keep handing her weapons, combat boots and machine guns. I didn't know that was a fantasy of mine until I saw this movie. Now I wish that happened to me almost daily.

I so agree! Even with a cookie cutter plot, the characters were great - Willis and Freeman were great, but Malkovich MADE his role! And I would LOVE to be Helen Mirren in the movie. She is a wonderful actress, but that role was just fun!
