Here's another list of things I've learned today:

- The dutch for hangover (kater apparently).
- How good a film Leon is.
- How much sleep it's possible to get mid-afternoon by accident.
- That there are things in this world which are very scary, sometimes in [livejournal.com profile] davefish's journal.
- That bad guys should stick to the pretty chinese brocade jacket, and leave the bad special effects and wings out of it.
- And an odd cure for acid indigestion involving salt and milk.

I'll let you know in the morning if the latter actually works for more than 5 minutes.

I have a real thing for Gary Oldman in that film. I find this deeply worrying. But he's just so damn ... sexy. In a deranged psychopathic sort of way.

Hangover

It's "Kater" in German as well. It means tom-cat, though I don't know why tom-cats mean hangovers.

You can also have a "Muskelkater", which is sore muscles from over-exercising.

HTH

I *love* Leon. It's one of my favourite films. I could go into a whole diatribe of why it's so great... but i refuse to be drawn into film student mode again.
