Caught off guard.




Estranged as we may now be, we used to be the best of friends. That could probably remain, but I chose not to. So be angry at me. I will let you.

I have outgrown everything that was in the past, and I'm sorry it took you a much longer time to feel free again. Finding someone else to love first doesn't mean I win. You won, because you loved me longer. But please don't make me feel guilty for feeling happy once again.

Nevertheless, you were once an amazing person to me, and I wish you all the happiness that you deserve.

Do what you need to do to forget. I never did, because some memories are worth keeping.

So be angry at me, I will let you.

So many things to say to you.

Fortunately, I'm not a bitch. So lucky you.


Life has been giving me a good share of ups and downs lately. But nothing I can't fix!
But what I really want to talk about today is movies that I've watched recently.


1. Julie & Julia
It is enjoyable to watch Meryl Streep, as always. She makes Julia Child such a lovable character, and her kitchen in the 1950s makes me wanna have a kitchen like that. As for Amy Adams and her character Julie Powell, it makes you wonder if you too are THAT obsessed with your blog.


2. Pulp Fiction
I think the best part of this movie is the dialogue. Here's one:

[Jules, Vincent and Jimmie are drinking coffee in Jimmie's kitchen]
Jules: Mmmm! Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet shit! Usually, me and Vince would be happy with some freeze-dried Taster's Choice right, but he springs this serious GOURMET shit on us! What flavor is this?
Jimmie: Knock it off, Julie.
Jules: [pause] What?
Jimmie: I don't need you to tell me how fucking good my coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping she buys SHIT. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It AIN'T the coffee in my kitchen, it's the dead nigger in my garage.
Jules: Oh, Jimmie, don't even worry about that...
Jimmie: [interupting] No, No, No, No, let me ask you a question. When you came pulling in here, did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"?
Jules: Jimmie, you know I ain't seen no...
Jimmie: [cutting him off again; getting angry] Did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"?
Jules: [pause] No. I didn't.
Jimmie: You know WHY you didn't see that sign?
Jules: Why?
Jimmie: 'Cause it ain't there, 'cause storing dead niggers ain't my fucking business, that's why!


3. Larry Crowne
Funny and inspiring, but quite predictable towards the end.

That's all for now, I'm hungry.
