My roommate is my favorite person. She is fun and clean and doesn't annoy me. Last night we both got really drunk and puked. Consequently I've spent today in bed making a mix for her. She's a film student, so this mix is a compilation of great songs that always without fail will remind you of the great movies they were in. I also included sound clips from old movies throughout the mix and I really like the way it sounds.

Holly: "No, the blues are because you're getting fat or maybe its been raining too long. You're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. You ever get that feeling?" Fred: "Sure." Holly: "When I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away." SHOW LESS
