That awkward moment when I forget to put sugar in my tea and decide to drink it without sugar because I can't be bothered to go down two flights of stairs to the kitchen. But then I go back four flights of stairs to retrieve my giraffe hat. I wear a giraffe hat now, giraffe hats are cool. But let's proceed in an orderly manner.
I saw Midnight in Paris last Sunday. Without spoiling anything, I liked it! Some of the references were a bit too obscure for me, but the ones that I did get were great. Plus there were a lot of funny moments. I saw it in the old cinema a few streets from my home - the only one left in town, the multiplex attached to the shopping centre and food court made all the others close. Anyway, I like this old cinema a lot because it's cozy and generally the people are nicer. Everyone was laughing during the scene with Dali (Adrien Brody), and Hemingway was awesome too. I didn't think much of the protagonist, and his fiancée was over the top, but all the other characters were great.
Plus. Today I had the best day. Ever.
I went to the Fiera in Milan, I'd never been there but it's this huge space outside the city where they make events and expos, there's always something going on. This week they have stalls from all over the world selling local stuff, a lot of it is handmade, the place is huge and really really awesome.
There were 10 areas and each one was from a different part of the world. Most of the areas were regional stuff from Italy, which we skipped because we don't really care about, but there were a lot of foreigners so I guess from their point of view it'd be all ~exotic. By the way, if you're ever in or around Milan on the first two weeks of December, go to Artigiani in Fiera, it's really awesome and it'll solve all of your Christmas shopping. In the whole afternoon we only managed to view two of the areas, the ones from America & Africa & Asia, but I think they were by far the most interesting. We had E to guide us since she'd been there last years already, which is good since the place is huge. Huuuuge.
And since I have no sense of measure, I bought a lot of stuff. A lot. On the train ride back, I must have looked ridiculous because I had so many shopping bags, and also because I was wearing my giraffe hat.
So I guess I can do shopping too, provided that there's a sufficiently large array of items to choose from, and also that stuff is colourful. I swear, I'm attracted to bright colours. I'm like a kid. So here's pics of what I got, under the cut because OHSHIT REN, HOW MUCH DID YOU BUY.
( MY LOOT! )
So yeah, that's about one month of allowance, but I'm trying to rationalize it by considering that all of those purchases were 1) presents, 2) stuff that I need, or 3) PRETTY!
OMG I'M SO GOING BACK NEXT YEAR. Now I'm going to collapse somewhere because the train rides were endless and I walked around four hours and I also went to classes this morning urgh I'm so tired.
