Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life from I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning

This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don't know where I am, don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever, I especially am slow
But I realized that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up

And you said, "This is the first day of my life.
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you.
But, now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy."

So if you wanna be with me
With these things there's no telling
We'll just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery

Besides, maybe this time it's different
I mean I really think you like me

The food is good and the company is excellent

on the wall at Judas Goat, love it :)

Trois couleurs: Blanc

Loved Julie Delphy in Before Sunrise/Before Sunset so watched another movie with her in it.

Just found out that this is the 2nd of a trilogy.  It's a bit of a crazy movie but the way it's filmed just keeps you interested... even though I ended watched this movie in parts since I'm usually too tired by the time we start watching movies at home.


*had an amazing day yesterday :) 

Cafe Barcelona

Went to try out this spanish tapas restaurant awhile back.
Love tapa places where you can try out lots of different food and hang out with a drink :)
There was also live music + a dancer that night.

Octopus and potato w/ olive oil

Sangria :)

anchovies, pepper & goat cheese (that I did not like too much but the kind of food that J likes) & crab, mayo, red pepper topped w/ fish roe

:)

bonito topped w/ prawn; Basque sausage; & my favourite one mushroom, caramelized onions and ham

lemon and vanilla creme brulee - usually not my favourite kind of dessert but this version was good :)
