June Recap
If these photos look melancholy again, it's completely unintentional. June was honestly a fog, but not necessarily in a negative way. I've just had more things to occupy my time, and more things on my mind, and I blinked, and the month was over. Not a bad thing. We're another month closer to Fall.
I wound up sitting in front of a fan a few nights ago when the air conditioner wasn't working; painting and watching Breakfast at Tiffany's (for the first time, mind you, and I thought it was wonderful, if you can cut out the unnecessary blatant racism), and though I hadn't worked on any paintings/illustrations at all that week, I roughly began five (!!!), and I felt so accomplished. I've no idea where the sudden inspiration came from, but I'll take it, and I'll be glad to end June on a high note. Thanks June.
I also watched "Bells Are Ringing," with Dean Martin, and it's a good one. Watch it sometime. Sounds like it could be a Christmas film, but it isn't.
When I first saw Breakfast at Tiffany's, I wasn't super impressed. However, it turned into one of those films to watch in moments of guilty pleasure. And, whooo, five! Hats off to ya!

The aesthetics are nice, and everyone loves Holly Golightly, but Micky Rooney's character is less than impressive. Unfortunately, that's something I've encountered more than a few times with old films. But yes, five, thank you!
DeleteI like melancholy photos anyway. Nice little collection here. I love, love, love Breakfast at Tiffany's but I absolutely agree that it would be better without the racism. It's sad that such scenes were once acceptable.

I do too Elizabeth, thank you! Yeah, it's something that always makes me so uncomfortable. Different times I suppose, though I can't even wrap my mind around it being acceptable even then.
