Two Posts For The Price Of One!
It’s still cold in Chicago. I like to wear layers and keep warm, but seriously… it’s freakin’ Mid-May. I don’t want to have to keep a hoodie in my car trunk just in case it gets sub 50°’s outside. As chilly as it is outside, it helps to have someone close by to cuddle up next to and share some green tea with.
I watched Closer and Hotel Rawanda recently back to back. Wow. Too much drama in one night.
I never wanted to watch Closer, just because of all the infidelity and betrayal. It doesn’t sit well with me. It’s mainly about a man that has a hard time trusting anyone only because he’s so damn untrustworthy himself. It’s a good example of how a tainted relationship turns to shit because of paranoia and an over-active imagination. The movie was cast wonderfully. Natalie Portman was beautiful and believable in the movie, as well as Julia Roberts. The script had a lot of one-liner zingers, something that you might be familiar with if you’ve ever been in an argument with your significant other. The kind of things that you would think of ‘damn I should have said this’ 10 mins after the fight. If you’re looking for a tremendous amount of cheating, partner swapping and mind games, this is for you. I was completely drained after watching it.
I won’t even make a write-up for Hotel Rawanda, cause I really don’t think I took a normal breath throughout the whole movie. I only had the energy to take quick short breaths. It was GOOD. I was involved @ the very beginning. It was supposed to be background noise that would help me sleep, but damn, it was intense.

Just got back from downtown! Went to Niketown with Gel. She likes the Air Max Assail (Exclusive Chicago baby blue + chartreuse color combo). Walked around downtown. So coooooold! Said hello to Jorge and then said goodbye. Went to Papa D.O.C.’s Pizza. Ate TONS of bread. Ordered the mussels in a spicy red sauce as an appetizer followed by an order of Pizza Rustico (Sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, mushrooms and red onion). DELICIOUS. Food coma. Chilled out. Eyes closed. Warm Pillows. Good company. (Not so exciting) Flickr Album here.
I don’t even need to dream tonite.
