Revolutionary Rants

Today at lunch I paused for – you guessed it – pesto and a bit of a surf (and, of course, Channel 4 lunchtime news). I was trying to find a last item or two for Chris’ Christmas present pile (alliteration all the way…) and had wanted to get him the Audrey Tautou film Le Battement d’ailes du papillon (as it is titled Amelie 2 in South Korea – despite coming out in 2000, before the ‘original’!!! – I thought it would be right up his street).

I searched, and searched, and searched, and searched, and searched, and searched, and searched, and searched, and searched. But all to no avail; play, amazon, cd-wow, they all let me down. Only Fnac and French amazon had it – and, of course, only in French (which is alright for Chicken, but he never watches anything on his own, so…)!!! Oh, and American amazon, too…

In the end I got so frustrated I had to tell him all about it!
