another night in paradise

Friends, Loss, Italian, Monsters

Truth: When friends share what they've learned on the
hard part of the road, they share the truest parts of
themselves. When friends who care enough to reveal the
things that have little pride for them, they light
a path in the darkness;

Madness: When loss is self inflicted, it feels less
like loss. Fear of loss seems to make us drive away
things and people before we lose them;

Food: The C&O Trattoria on Washington (on the
Venice/Marina Del Rey border) has some nice
food, in abundant quantities, and I'm glad
I found someplace besides Casablanca that has
a decent Calimari Steak;

Fun: The more I see of Monsters, Inc. the more impressed
I am by it. While the technical work is excellent,
the writing shines brighter and brighter with every
listen...and I hadn't noticed before tonight that
Nemo (which was release after Monsters) is one of the
toys in Boo's room;

I sure hope someone will tell me when this gets too pretentious...
