steeling myself for mariah carey sans makeup

i have heard through a variety of sources (one of which was oprah) that precious is quite the emotional tumbledryer. so, to ensure i come through the experience with what little remains of my sanity intact i have spent the last 4ish hours drinking and watching two feel good films. although up in the air is not as feel good as i thought. in fact it is somewhat depressing. esp when he shows up at her door...
but! away we go has come through for me. such a quirky lovely sweet brilliantly acted story. totally got me ready for all the daddy raping and momma throwing skillets. bring it lenny kravitz.

...ok, so, in between thinking what a brilliant soundtrack precious had, and how amazing glitter would have been had mariah not worn make up, i think precious was a decent film. the emotive aspect did not really hit till the "postive" thing, and after that there were some semi tear inducing moments, but it wasn't the emo fuck fest i expected it to be. whether or not the two bottles of wine had anything to do with that i don't know. all i know is my parentals units need a big up.
