I can feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes
Daffydmas is all around me, And so the feeling grows…
It’s that time of year again… Today, 29 July, is the traditional date on which members of the Church of Daffyd celebrate the birth of Daffyd.
This year I have chosen to mark the celebration by sitting at home with a cold, and watching Bill Nighy kick ass in Love Actually with Cal.
Keep rocking until the break of dawn, oh mighty one. Happy goddamn birthday.
And if you really love Daffydmas, come on and let it snow…

He did redeem that movie. I guess I probably just join the masses in thinking the line ‘kids, don’t buy drugs: become a rockstar and you’ll get them for free’ justified the whole movie. Though I also liked Hugh Grant’s very cheesy “this is the country of shakespeare” speech. 🙂
Watching it again I was struck by the absolute relegation of non-whites to bit parts. I hadn’t noticed it the other time I saw it, but on second viewing it was really annoying. (Also: everyone has a job in the creative sector.)
And watching the deleted scenes really proved that it could have been much, much worse.
Still, I have a lot of love for it. A very neat film.
It’s one of laura’s favs and we have a copy and i get to watch it all the time.
it hurts so much.
