Things I'll miss most: 1. my family 2. tacos
I've been on a sort of quest for mexicanidad for the past few weeks. Like, seriously. Since January 1st, I've eaten in 8 taco stands, being the regular kind, barbacoa tacos and al vapor tacos. I've had pozole twice (in a row). I've had enchiladas, sopa de pasta, the weird imitation yakimeshi at the sushi place around my grandma's street that fails at being even remotely japanese but is tasty and Mexican to the top by now; I've had chilaquiles and a bit of tamal and hot chocolate (hot chocolate never tastes like real hot chocolate overseas, I swear) and a bit of jericalla. If I liked tequila, I would've had a shot. If I liked mariachi, I would've gone and gotten drunk to them singing 'la bikina'.
Okay, now I'm ready to leave. XD
I went to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button the other day, and I loved it. It has flaws, sure, but it was such a lovely movie, and I love seeing fantastic or sci-fi-ish premises in 'serious' movies nowadays without being judged (too much) for it. The music, and the montages, and the photography, were all beautiful, and the acting was really solid. And then, of course, the make-up department totally deserve their oscar. Because, wow, honestly - the aging and the de-aging looked incredibly real, and especially the de-aging is awe-worthy; both Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett seriously look like their 20 year old selves. o_O
British folk! How can I know which bands will be playing in Leeds or close to it for the next six months? My fellow concert-obsessed friends have already told me they'll disown me if I don't see as many bands as possible, lol. :3
