Le Lit

Henri de Toulouse . Le Lit

i don't know what it is about this painting but the moment i saw it while i was in paris all i could think of how this could quite possibly be my definition of bliss. one lovely big bed with enormous blankets and nobody else but the love of my life. i love the messiness, its curious angle of the girl leaving the viewer to wonder if she is looking on to her partner... its just one painting that i continue to love every time i see it. It is just so serene and something i would just love to have one day. to be like this... to open my eyes and see whoever he will be.

am i a hopeless romantic?

actually... i hate guys who are super romantic right off the bat.

the irony. do i come off too strong?

Priceless


I can't say i remember ever doing a movie post... but i'm in the mood.

Priceless.
Director: Pierre Salvadori

I'm a fiend when it comes to Audrey Tatou. She has such a timeless face and i got really excited when i heard that she is coming out with a new movie. So i can't say the idea of the movie is very original because to me it seems very reminiscent of Breakfast at Tiffany's... but in that sense i'm excited to see this french twist on Breakfast. They say that Tatou is actually the new Audrey Hepburn... does it help that they have the same first names?

Happy Lunar New Year!

Last night, while waiting in the car with my grandmother, i asked her what she does everyday. Somehow the conversation went from day by day things that she does to her far far past. We started to talk about how she met my grandpa and what she used to do with her time back then. But the part of the conversation that seemed to stir her the most when she started talking about what her aspirations used to be when she was younger. dreams cut short and quite living in some regret. All i could think was that i didn't want to be this. I couldn't stand to think that i could potentially feel regret in my 60+ years.

I guess now is the time to start moving along.

What a whirlwind of events in the past few days. I'm not quite sure how to sum it up... but for sure i know that its been lazy and relaxed. Maybe it's time to kick into some action but why bother for now?

Guinness is good for you.
