Breakfast at Tiffany's

yep, pretty much.


I eat diamonds for breakfast.


That's racist


Aww. Sorry she will be gone in the morning. But at least you have the A-team!


I wanted to check out a local theater near my new apartment this weekend. There is one down the street called The Egyptian. Saturday night they happened to be playing Breakfast at Tiffany's which I had never seen before so I decided to check it out.
I guess I didn't know what I was getting myself into. For some reason I was expecting a fun romantic comedy, instead I got a really sad and depressing film. Focusing mainly on a girl who just wont grow up. I thought for the longest time people liked this film because the character Holly was someone to be admired, someone other women might want to be in real life. I see now the hype was for Audrey Hepburns' performance, the hype is well deserved, she did an amazing job. The character is someone you do despise though, and if you don't, you really should. Her character hit a nerve all too close to home, and I remember leaving the theater with a very deep sadness. With that said I still would have liked the film, if it had not been for that terrible ending. The problem is, in the morning she will run off again with her same fears and incredibly weak will, this of course the director does not show. Hollywood is funny that way, sadly I know the real ending to Breakfast at Tiffany's and it is not happy at all.

Moving Time

It's an apartment!



Moving sucks, but I am glad to have my own place again. I will take some pictures as soon as my place stops looking like a storage unit. It is located on Capitol Hill, and close to lots of stuff. Well enjoy the widescreen shot until I get some better ones. And no those are not my rugs, puuulease!

Le Mépris

New poster for 35mm release.


She is pissed.


Contemptuos!


Tonight I returned to the SIFF to see the film Contempt directed by Jean-Luc Godard starring Brigitte Bardot. I had never seen the film before, but I liked it. It had great style, and was funnier than I imagined. Afterwards, I met up with Kudo at the Comet Tavern, and watched a band called Strong Killings. They were actually really good, crazy name aside.

Le Pichet; haircut + rooftop swimming.


Haircuts are like magic.


hot.


Gorgeous





9:45 AM was haircut time. Which is too early for Saturday, but it was fine, afterwards I ate at this great french place called Le Pichet. I ordered a cappuccino, and OEufs plats, jambon et fromage. Basically Two eggs broiled with ham and gruyère. It was delicious. Afterwards I found a cool Architecture Book Store, where I got one of these.

Saturday night was fun. I met up with a bunch of friends from work to hang out, and my buddy Andy showed up too, which was awesome because I had not seen him since EA Chicago closed down. Apparently my hair cut and brand new Chuck Taylors brought some attention to others, because while we were all sitting at a table at this place called Cellars this girl walks up and hands me a note. It said her friend thought I was cute. There was a lot of stuff that happened after this, but the highlight of the night was later being at this persons condo we had just met, swimming in a roof top pool, looking out over downtown Seattle. It was a lot of fun. Hopefully Andy will have a better account of that night on his blog. I am just tired and need to get some sleep.

Today Amanda, Shad and I went to a Mariners Game at Safeco Field. I don't like baseball,but I do like bratwurst with sauerkraut. It was also good to just hang with my sis.

Well I am going to bed. I hope you enjoy my cheesy pictures.

Sweet!




Friday I ate at a new seafood place on Alaskan Way, along the water of Elliot Bay called Ivar's. I was able to get 2 Stella's and a delicious fish wrap for 11 bucks. On the way back home I found a cool place called Cinerama, really I am just a sucker for 1950's style signs. They were showing The Dark Knight, which I already saw, but I really wanted to check out this theater, so I bought a ticket, and had a great time.
