the flavor of brown


Ah, a great day. Mostly because it was Friday. Plus, since my dad was sorry for picking me up late (he was getting gas), he took me out for lunch. I ate at a thai restaurant in Sunland, called My Thai. We asked for coconut shrimp and coconut chicken soup. My dad ordered some brown rice to go with the soup, but I objected. (i don't like brown rice. although, i don't know why. probably because it tastes like brown.) We got it anyway. Afterward, we had planned to get the flame-fried ice cream, but my dad said he was too full. He promised we would get it on Thursday. I'll be dying until then.

On our way home, we stopped at the library. Since I had been craving it, I checked out the movie Breakfast as Tiffany's. It was all I remembered it to be. Paul Varjak and Holly Golightly's romance is the only one I can seem to agree on. (in fact, I agree on all her romances.) I also like it because it doesn't include any random making out or explicitness. Okay, maybe there was making out, but in this movie, it's called kissing. And it wasn't random.

Yes, I love this movie. I cried for the third time I've seen it. It's so charming. And Audrey Hepburn has class and character that we will never find anywhere else. If you manage to, then give me a call. Or leave a comment.

"You know those days when you get the mean reds?"
"The mean reds, you mean like the blues?"
"No. The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's 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. Do you ever get that feeling?"
"Sure."
"Well, 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. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then - then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name!"
