I have discovered a wonderful fruit! I always knew about them in theory, and watched them in my fruit bowl occaisionally, but I have tasted two now! An astringent and a non-astringent. One was squishy and yummy, and after it was swallowed orange fuzz started growing in my mouth, covering my tongue, teeth, and the insides of my cheeks. It was a scary but nice after-effect. The other was crunchy and sweeter, with no after-fuzziness. They looked the same to me. I want more!
Missed opportunities. Today my long-term plan of leaving the last period of a boring double to catch the 3:00 showing of 'All That Heaven Allows' fell through. It was so sad, I was on the verge of handing in a fake sick note to leave early when I realised that: a) I am too honest and conscientious to forge and wag, b) I forgot my $11 for the ticket.
On the holidays I developed a new obsession with Solitaire, Spider Solitaire 2 suits and Freecell. Thankfully, this embarrassing hobby withered and disappeared when school began. But last night it came back! I spent an hour playing Spider Solitaire until I won it with alternating colours in the decks (in the print screen picture above). I had this wonderful sense of achievement and embarrassment. But I don't regret it that much. In fact, I might play it now.
My mother surprised me last week with a pair of pyjamas! She just saw them and bought them for me, I want her to do that more often - I got such a nice feeling.
I am studying 'Vertigo' in Literature class and incidentally went to watch 'The Philadelphia Story' at the cinema this Saturday. The charm of James Stewart has returned. I've always considered him an amazing actor, especially in his drunk scene in the latter film and his look of lovestruck lunacy and obsession in the former. The first movie I saw with him was 'It's A Wonderful Life' when I was little. How sweet. From a young James Stewart to an old one, he is always a pleasure to watch.
I am so so excited about this coming out! Maybe I'll even postpone my date with Dumas to brush up on that beautiful novel before the film comes out! Which is September I think... too long.
