During my 2nd bout of flu last week I obsessively watched Shopgirl in between much needed naps. This movie is definitely on my top 10 list! The story is wonderful, the characters adorable (especially Jason Schwartzman's character), the look and feel of it wonderfully quirky and the music is great. Which brings me to my point, Sun Kil Moon. Sun Kil Moon is Mark Kozelek's band and not only did he star in Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous but he also features in Shopgirl...oh and his music rocks! It's been on repeat since.
My parents arrived in London today, I went to Heathrow for the mandatory meet'n'greet and yes, it was quite nice to see the folks again. After they'd checked into their hotel we went to the nearest pub for food, beer and catch-up, the Three Tuns provided a very nice place to take care of all that. Mom and I then wandered around for a bit, checking out pretty funny shops and expensive ones too (mostly shoes....), before I dropped her off at their hotel and went to uni.
I think I've made a new friend, sort of. In the funniest place too.
