Lentils About Nothing

It's Wednesday night and I did nothing course-related except to enjoy good food,listen to our own laughter, relate to people and reflect on life lessons---plus a lot of horny jokes.

Jessie, Yan and I wanted to try out an interesting Vegetarian restaurant in Brunswick that was presumably good. The interesting bit about this restaurant is that you pay for whatever price you think it's value, so you can be a cheapskate and pay $3 (shame on you if you think of paying anything lower than that!. However, when we finally got there, we couldn't locate the restaurant. We walked up and down the street only to realise that a bar has replaced Lentils about Nothing. =( We ended up eating a PRICEY Japanese meal(because the portion was so SMALL, it was possibly meant for Japanese girls. But, we had so much fun talking and laughing. Yan wasnt full after that, so we went to Brunettis at Lygon Street for cakes and coffee. More talking and laughing. Brunettis is a restaurant/bakery/cafe that spreads across 4 shoplots. They have anything from pasta, salad, glorious cakes, pastries, pizza, coffee to ice cream and it's crowded! Great place to hang out with friends i guess.

The occassion was break ups and Yan's job offer...valid reasons to chill on a Wed night?

Point aside. I picked some really intresting movie flyers that I reallY REALLY want to watch. My novel/movie itch is back again...Here's the list of movies I wanna watch:
1. Good
2. Queit Chaos
3. Wendy and Lucy
4. The Boy in Stripped Pyjamas
5 (A movie about the International Committee of Safety Zone during the Japanese intrusion into Nanking...Adrian recommended it) Adrian is undertaking Post Grad studies in International Politics. Another interesting fellow I'd talk about next time.

Novels on my shelves are:
1. The Rape of Nanking (halfway through)
2. Last One Out (an account on the Burma-Thailand Death Railway)
3. Modern Feminism in Japan
4. Janet Frame's Towards Another Summer
5. Alan Marshall's Short Stories

Now...i need to find time.
