It's been a little while, and instead of trying to string sentences together while having a migraine (I went a good three weeks without one, but PMS brings one along with it every fucking time), I'm going to make a list of things that I like right now.-The new Fatih Akin movie. The Boy and I almost went home before seeing it, because it was Pride and the streets were jammed and it was pissing rain outside, but I'm so glad, because it was so, so good.
-Ippudo. I don't particularly love ramen, much less at $13 a bowl, and shoyu broth occasionally makes me feel like I'm literally ingesting a future migraine. But we wound up there late one night last weekend, and I've been craving it since. The broth is so rich and mellow and totally opaque, they must be boiling pork bones for weeks. Even though I've been really good with staying off wheat, it's going to all fall apart the moment I get near this place.
-Philadelphia. Yesterday I rode across town to meet a friend for dinner, ate an awesome soft-shell crab sandwich, rode back home, decided on the spur of the moment to see a show in West Philly, rode there, paid my $8 cover, and rode back when it was over. So cheap, so easy, so uncomplicated. So the opposite of doing these things in NYC, which is expensive, involves buying tickets for shit three months ahead of time, and waiting for ages on a subway platform, or forking out for a cab.
I could make a much longer list of things that I am currently hating, but that would be kind of pointless. So I'm going to lie around with some frozen corn on my head and wait to feel better.
