'The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till'
My expectations were high. So last night Drica and I saw The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till. Never-before-seen testimony is included in this documentary on Emmett Louis Till, who, in 1955, was brutally murdered after he whistled at a white woman.
I think gave an absolutely crappy performance. The cinematography and the plot are very poor.
The lack of chemistry was appalling.
Yesterday's lunch
Yesterday was great . Alec and I had lunch at Andello, a fancy Italian
restaurant. We got a table outside. A colleague recommended it to me. It was
very hot inside. We asked the waiter for recommendations. Alec immediately spotted pizza margarita on the menu and ordered it. I immediately spotted lamb chops with mint pesto on the menu and ordered it: really delicious. We will definitely go there again.

Finding Forever
Just bought and listened to Common's new album 'Finding Forever'.
Finding Forever is a nice rap album. It wasn't for lack of exposure - ili is a
huge fan.

Lunch
On Monday I met Drica for lunch at a great Chinese restaurant near the railway
station called Canton Garden. I heard their dim sum is excellent. It was really
crowded. I had my reservations because I don't crave Chinese food. Drica had a hard time deciding on the menu, because everything looked quite good, but finally decided to go with the prawn balls, I went for the shrimps. We will definitely go there again.
Scary
This is spooky news .
Arizona school district wants to start random drug tests on all seventh-graders. "It's crucial to hit them at that age".

'Innocent Voices'
Last night Alec and I saw 'Innocent Voices' and it is a great movie. Don't be swayed by the nay-sayers!

Hatred
These melancholies are ephemeral. Drica says nostalgia is not sweet and I agree
but on my own again. Anyways, I'm full of otherness. I'm upset. I felt that it was almost like what happened to me and Alec all over again so I'm just killing some time.
I'm Busy
It has been really quiet on this blog lately, because I'm definitely occupied.
I'm so sorry, but I hope you can understand that other work does take priority
