Windowlicker

Recently, my sister and I saw The Other Boleyn Girl, which is almost mercilessly tawdry, and is saved only by the almost merciless foxiness of Eric Bana as the petulant tyrant of record. The other best thing about the film is that it led us to go around for the rest of the day ending every phrase with "sis-TAH," said in the most sweetly conniving tone possible. It all reminds me of how much I enjoyed being called "princess" for a brief moment --that coincided with the get-on-a-plane-and-meet-me-for-dinner, you'll-recognize-me-by-my-tiara phase-- last summer. So what could be better then, than an "empress" teapot? Not much, sister.
