Morning shenanigans

It's a frigid October morning and I'm sitting lazily on my couch sitting Darjeeling tea and watching Rent for the first time. Out of anxiety, boredom or A.D & D. I felt the urge to do something else, which I have been, but now it's time to blog. It's been a while since I've blogged.

I have never seen Rent before, but I can definitely say it's interesting. Not exactly what I expected, but I didn't really know what to expect. Now it just got super depressing with people dying and sad melodies.

So what's new in my life, I am working on a new film project that's absolutely amazing. It's called Ey Pari Kojai, which is Farsi for Beloved One Where Are You. The synopsis of the movie is this:

On the Iranian New Year, Maryam Haghighi, an Iranian ex-patriot, celebrates with her three daughters. The evening turns ugly when the girls accuse Maryam of abandoning them. When the television in the room begins to broadcast Maryam’s memories of a tragic event, her world spins out of control. Despite struggling with her choices as a mother and the pain of banishment from her homeland, Maryam builds a life for herself, but at what cost? ‘Ey Pari Kojai’ (Beloved One Where Are You?) deals with the challenges of integration, identity loss and culture clashes.

Now doesn't that sound like an amazing project? I reckon it does! We've been having rehearsals, gearing up for the heavy meanings of the story. I love each and every moment of it all.

Halloween is coming up and I honestly haven't even thought twice about it, which is strange because I LOVE Halloween! I love the festivities, the costumes, the music (yes the music!), the trick and treat, the pumpkins ooooh I love it! Okay, now I am getting excited about it, haha.

I still need to finish my story about my trip back home! I also went to Cancun since then. Geez, I'm so bad with this blogging business. I promise, I will shape up and blog better and more often. It's like chicken noodle soup, it's good for the soul. Speaking of soup, I have LITERALLY been obsessed with Thai soup. There are two restaurants in my hood Spiced and Green Curry and I've had soup all week: Tom Yum Pak. I had Tom Yum Pak from Green Curry which is absolutely to die for. Then I had Tom Yum Pak with shrimp at Spiced and it was delicious, but I wish it had more vegetables like the way Green Curry does. Then I had Spiced reverred soup "Spicy soup" and I didn't really like it much...it was a thick and sweeter broth and it just didn't hit the spot. I am actually about to head out to do some errands, but get some soup again. This time I must get the Tom Yum Pak from Spiced with only vegetables this time and then I can decide officially whether Spiced or Green Curry has the better soup. Yes, I nerd out on things like this, but you must truly try their soup...I'm nerding out for a reason.

Well anyway, I must be off to make use of my day, noon is approaching and all I've done was blog, watch a sad movie, chew on my lip and check FB like twenty times already.

Until later!
