Sunset, Photos and Chai

So "Before Sunset" was a lovely as I remember it. What I love about this and its prequel is the long continuous shots used throughout, something you just don't see in modern movies. I also love the conversations. They remind me of the way Gid and I used to sit about talking about anything and everything when things were good, and even when they weren't. I always leave these films thinking about the discussion they had, as though they were actually having them with me too. I had to empty my head in my Moleskine before going to bed as my mind ws spinning with thoughts.

Today I had my two Japanese lessons, which went very well, and I found a new cafe to lurk in - a Vietnamese-style place called Cafe Du Du where I was served iced Chai. Yummy.

I also had to get some new passport photos done (as I need a new passport) and was amused by the huge number of freckles that showed on the photo booth screen. I was aware that this photo will be used for the next 10 years to identify me, which is quite amusing. What will I look like at 37? I compared the photo of me at 17 with this one. Somehow my face seems longer now, and I'm mush more rosey cheeked. My hair is a different colour, but back then it changed regularly, and of course, I'm now proudly wearing my fabulous glasses in this photo, rather than hiding them in my hand out of shot. The heavy eyeliner still exists, but my eyes are not as puffy as they were then. Not bad, but it would be nice to a photo with my cheek bones evident.

Tonight, tempura and X-Files.
