Kat, I'm proud to be part of a group that contains you.

This is NOT thread creep...
My recommendation: see the movie with Timothy Dalton and some American who wasn't Kiefer Sutherland being in a hospice; It's called something with Foxes in the title. It's about dying versus living while being terminally ill but not dead yet. Black comedy, much more black than comic, but it is howlingly funny in spots. Although both main characters have terminal illnesses and are young men, Dalton has accepted his fate and is living his last days, while the American hasn't and is depressed and acts like he's dying all the time (well, OK, he is, but that isn't the point. Or maybe it is...).
Anyway, Dalton basically kidnaps him and MAKES him see that life, what is left of it, is still worth living. I remember one scene where they are trying to pick up chicks and the American is so weak that Dalton steals a bicycle so that the American can lean debonair-ly on it...

There was some music in it too, but I'm recommending it for the mind-set and the cold feet. It's a British film, I believe, and I've never been able to find it anywhere here in the US in stores (I saw it on TV years ago, before Dalton was Bond, James Bond, I think).

And do keep us posted.
