route du thé


allyson had work on monday so we planned out a totally impromptu rendez-vous, a goodbye tea party.
she bought scones, bekka brought salad.

i made:
egg salad cucumber open-faced sandwiches
madeleines
3 berry empanadas
tomato bruschetta
mushroom-pine nut crustini
salami-pesto panini
banana-chocolate pavlova
beverages: lavender-ceylon, green tea- barley rose, strawberry lemonade

too much food, we all became diabetic.
from 4-7 all we did was talk, haphazardly structured from dorm life to jeanette's beating.

ava was too nice. she got me a gift. a mini rice cooker, a framed picture of us back in sophomore year, and a nice card. realization of what we've gone through.

it was just nice to....relax. after being in the kitchen 3pm-1am the previous day.
it was subtly awkward saying goodbye. i knew i would see them again but it never occurred to me that it wasn't school or the classes that held us together.

i didn't want that afternoon to end. at least it ended with the perfect embrace.

i soon cleaned after the mess. died a little. and wasted time just thinking.
once they were done with the old movie i went to blockbuster for 30 mins or so to decide on A Beautiful Mind.

ever since gimin-sneha and i saw "the class," i did not trust the praises and awards they boast.
i was skeptical - the movie felt old -very '98, the soundtrack was mediocre....the beginning; slow.

but that twist - it sparked the drama. decently portrayed i was attached. i wanted it to be more subtle - less literal and more abstract or vague - if s, that would've increased confusion which might've created a stronger relation between the audience and john.

i then saw crone and poirier's new original dance - flamenco. subtle and mature. can't wait.

sigh sigh
sigh

i realized the significance of each person that came to mind - perhaps it was my version of a reality check - i had the thought of being the next john nash. pensive and nostalgic.






demain sera triste...
