Good restaurant, mes amis.

I had my own little cameo in a Pedro Almodovar movie last night. I took my mother and two friends, Lisa and Zoue, to a french restaurant in Covent Garden (Mon Plaisir)... one of the oldest french restaurants in London. One silent boy and three laughing women. A brazilian mother talking about the construction of her hotel in the countryside, a greek woman who loves to laugh and can take down any man with her muscles, and an english woman who grew up in Montreal and resembles an Italian Renaissance painting.

Our reserved table was in the back, surrounded by beautiful gauche paintings, Edith Piaf's voice and louche regulars. Even the bathroom was an experience ("you can judge a restaurant by its bathroom," said Momma): tiny paintings of naked women showing their hairy armpits, little candles that barely kept the darkness away and an eerie silence broken by the waiters sprinting above my head.

We ordered the pre-theatre menu (meaning we would have to leave the place by 8pm): Champignon soup, fish with green beans in bacon sauce, and french fries (the taste brought freedom to my lips), glasses of white wine (the house's) and chocolate mousse for dessert (and let's not forget the filtered coffee.)

We talked about astrology on the way to the Tube... and how lucky I am to have my moon in Taurus. The best possible moon for a man.

ask him.

read the description and let us know if it's correct (or what is right and what is wrong... though there's always the cancelling-each-other-out factor.)

"let us know"? do you work there or have some other sort of connection?

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2003-10-02 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
i meant "us" your livejournal friends, silly.

ah.

both of you have the sun in the 4th house... strong feelings and connection to your families... is that true?

[identity profile] 5500.livejournal.com 2003-10-02 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
hmm, well, jarod might have a strong connection to his family if it weren't so wack. he's kind of a disadvantage there. i am tight with mine, though. he likes them pretty well, too.

it's alright... it's because you don't know me well yet... I'm always coming out with shit like that, I guess... so I can see how confusing it would be.

[identity profile] bubble-.livejournal.com 2003-10-02 09:00 am (UTC)(link)

I am jealous..although I did have a lovely night

I went to a movie, and held hands with this boy who smelled really nice, and then we listened to punk rock and belle and sebastian in his car, and ate hot and sour soup and chow mein at 1:30 in the morning, and then he drove me home, and we talked a bit, and then he gave me the softest kiss on the lips, and told me I smelt amazing, and then I walked to my house on a cloud, and went to sleep with a smile on my face

today I am tired...

[identity profile] 4q.livejournal.com 2003-10-02 08:58 am (UTC)(link)

Re: you mum is right!

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2003-10-02 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
for some reason, when you mentioned hot and sour... i just thought of hotdogs.

*go figure*

so this boy is into Belle and Sebastian?

Re: you mum is right!

[identity profile] 4q.livejournal.com 2003-10-02 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
well it was the first time he had ever heard them, he really liked them though, I played him sleep the clock around my fav song by them!

Re: you mum is right!

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2003-10-02 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
from which album? I only have Tigerlilly and I love that album.

Re: you mum is right!

[identity profile] 4q.livejournal.com 2003-10-02 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
the boy with the arab strap! that's the best one!! it's amazing!

Re: you mum is right!

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2003-10-02 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
ah! Kevin has that one -- but he left it in Canada. I hear their new album is supposed to be good. Though I heard the first single and wasn't very impressed. I think they are trying to go a bit different because they got tired of the criticisms that all their songs sound the same.

Re: you mum is right!

[identity profile] 4q.livejournal.com 2003-10-02 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
that's odd because i really don't think that they all sound the same at all, but then I am weird with music, I have a different ear then most.

I thought you left me for www.ljdrama.org

you mean my slowness in replying? It's fucking hotmail being too busy and taking forever and a day to accept my replies.

:o/

I still haven't heard their album "Come with me Peasant Child" (is that what it's called?) but i love the songs I've heard in them... and I agree with you that they have tons of different stuff.

Re: you mum is right!

[identity profile] 4q.livejournal.com 2003-10-02 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
ha ha hotmail is a whore! I wanted to swtich back to yahoo, but I hate being annoying and having to email everyone on my list saying I changed my email again, it's like the third time...lol

yeah I haven't heard tons of their stuff, but I really like what I have...
I am glad we agree! :)
