Doubt anyone would be interested, but figured I'd post this for a tiny bit of lolz

In this love story, courtesan Violetta Valery meets a new admirer, Alfredo Germont, who confesses his love. Trouble brews when Alfredo’s father demands that she renounce his son since the scandal of Alfredo’s affair has threatened his own daughter’s engagement. Violetta resists but eventually agrees, not wanting any harm to come to Alfredo or his family. Despite her undying love, she leaves word to Alfredo that she no longer loves him, in an effort to help him move on. Back in Paris, Alfredo denounces his former love cruelly, and months later, Violetta, deathly ill with tuberculosis, has only days to live. Alfredo and his father become contrite when they learn the truth about Violetta’s selfless love, but it may already be too late to ask her forgiveness.

Sounds like a tearjerker. I love tearjerker-love stories.

Coolidge bumping!

if I work this morning, I'll make it worth your time! ;)

I think I saw a movie like this. The plot was similar, Salma Hayek has nice boobs and then dies. I forget the name of the movie.

Salma Hayek's boobs are triumphant.

Yes, but it also had Colin Farrel in it, which sucked. However, I watched it anyway because I was stoned, and uncle Andy from Weeds was in it as well.

Bump!

Only Italian love tragedy I'll watch is Chicken Park.

Saturday! Come by! I'll be working it!
