About the Looking For and Finding of Love

So after dinner at Menya noodles in Chinatown, Cat had a teriyaki chicken set, and I had a Menya ramen, mmmm... yum! We made our way to Oxford street. Were discussing Cat's morning beastliness ;) and the woman sitting on the bus next to us was also going to the German film festival as well :)
Then we bought tix and waited past time for Michelle G (from my church to get there). Eeeeep, I gave her the wrong directions to Paddington Town Hall and she ended up back at Liverpool St and Hyde Park. But luckily I bought an extra ticket after getting worried it'd sell out and made it in time for the short film (Anophtalmus) and the full movie Vom Suchen und Finden der Liebe.

Some slightly creepy bits like Hermaphrodite, quite funny imho, pokes at the romance/love genre and definitely well use of the overtly tragic music of Orpheus and Eurydice. I enjoy watching Moritz Bleibtreu and Alexandria Maria Lara. The lyrics of the songs were making my slightly queasy, I mean come on "You make my heart pound / You make my knees shake / Sauerkraut on my chin (well that wasn't really a lyric)".
But I liked the reality mixed in with the myth. No matter how much you love a person, you can always find a fault, whether they want you to be the same when you change (because life is not static and one must always allow for change). Also even if you love a person, it's not solely the personality, but there has to be something physical you're attracted to, for example "the best tush in the world". Also the little things, the quarrels that come between people, not the big stuff but the little stuff. Quite funny how the couple Theo and Anke trying to schedule a time in their busy and hectic lives to have sex, and how it would traumatise their son if they were caught, I have to say, that scene reminded me of Gwen Harwood's The Glass Jar

"The bedroom where his comforter lay in his rival's fast embrace and faithless would not turn her face from the gross violence done to her. Love's proud executants played from a score no child could read or realise.."

So then after the movie, we walked back to Max Brenner's and I had a Mexican Spicy Chocolate, Cat had a Venezuelan Dark Chocolate and Michelle had an Italian milk chocolate and shared a Chocolate, marshmallow and banana pizza. Oh my gooooooodness... sooooo luscious... it's a pizza base, absolutely covered in melted milk chocolate, dotted with sliced bananas and little white and pink marshmallows, melted. Gaaaaaahhhh... Leachypoo you will looooove it. We couldn't finish it at all, left 3 slices on the pizza plate. Soooooo luscious, was feeling queasy when we left. Ooooooh baby.
