Wants to go to Paris in the 50s

I'm blogging and watching Julie and Julia... it's the 5th dimension!
I will be seeing Did You Hear About the Morgans? It is decidedly so.

JD took me out to dinner at the Lyon Grill. It's a wonderful restaurant. FABULOUS sweet potato fries. I spilled... a lot. There was this old couple at the table across from us and like usual I made up stories about their potential lives. I tried to figure out of it was a date. Neither had wedding rings on. She was dressed respectfully for the dinner. He was wearing a puffy vest and was covered in grease. I couldn't stop thinking about them having sex. It was like a sad movie. I couldn't avert my eyes from the way that man ate french fries. Shutter.

To my main point:
What is with restaurants offering steamed vegetables and putting no seasoning on them?! The have trained chefs with an arsenal of herbs and spices and they put out plain steamed broccoli and carrots? Fail. No wonder people are so fat. You can't eat that stuff. I can whip up an amazing vegetable spread without butter or oil. I'll cook all the veggies in a kitchen 3 nights a week for minimum wage and left over cole slaw if they'll teach me how to make other foods.

As a side note, I hit a car in the parking lot at work. Drive fail. It is a full moon. My uterus is freaking out. In the last 24 hours, I've had 2 good hours of not crying and not feeling like I might at the drop of a hat.
Vegas in... 11 days!

Things I already see wrong with Julie/Julia:
Julie claims to have never eaten an egg, and yet she describes 2 dishes at the very beginning that contain eggs. Chocolate cake? Eggs. Holendaise? Eggs! She is a liar.
I do not believe that Julie conceived her blog with the idea that she would become famous. I find it far more likely that she tried 8 things first that she gave up on and eventually felt so bad about herself she made the goal of the cooking.
What is with the freaking pins?
I want to punch Julie in the face.

On the plus side, the Julia parts are magnificent.
I liked the part with the lobster.
