Went to Milestone's for breakfast today with Joy, Ben, Michael and Michelle. I had some eggs with hollandaise number, as did Joy. Ben had a salmon omlette and Michael had a _____ with some _____. Michelle had tortillas with salsa and a salad. I wanted a salad. I'll have to get one.
Joy and I watched War Photographer directed by some Swedish dude, and he follows a famous war photographer around. The director attached a camera onto the war photographer's camera, so the viewer would be able to see what it is like taking pictures of dead people and starving people. I called it the cam cam.
The photographer was extremely honest, however, and his views on honesty and being welcomed into the misery that was exposed to so many people; how victims hope that through his photographs the word gets out etc. was pretty inspiring.
There was this one guy who had one leg, one arm, and lived on the gravel between two railroad tracks in a Jakartan slum. He raised his children ontop of a blanket.
Next we're going to watch a movie about Adam Sandler. You know, the one where Sandler is this misfit who meets a girl and becomes the community hero? That's the one I'm talking about. It's supposedly really serious, so I'll probably cry at the horrible, horrible lifestyle of upper-class suburbanites. How horrible it is to feel "out of place", whatever that means.
For dinner:
bagel (toasted), tomato, onion, mushroom, lettuce, veggie burger (chicken flavour), mustard, ranch.
bowl of curried rice noodles, w/ brocoli and mushroom
seaweed rice crackers
beer
shrimp and avocado eggs benedict. I'd rate it a four or five out of seven. Good flavour, but the avocado and hollandaise just didn't play well together. The english muffin was over cooked, cutting it was very difficult.

Although my food was good enough, mind you. But I remember the words on the menu having more goodness.
Mine was quite fabulous as far as flavour goes ... Though it was extremely difficult to cut through the english muffin. I felt as though I was trying to hack apart a carcass - or a Christmas package, heavily taped, from overseas.
