I long to be spontaneous. To one day hastily pack an overnight bag with nothing more than a toothbrush, underwear, a few dollars and just run away...I imagine I would enjoy basking in the sun for hours, take dips in a nearby lake every so often, light a small fire each night to cook dinner and float my way through long, dream-filled days worthy of filling up a Hemingway. Perhaps I'd even be okay with sleeping on a rickety 5'8" (I'm 5'11") cot in a small canvas tent...Unlikely, but you never know.
Anyway, seeing the trailers for Wes Anderson's new film 'Moonrise Kingdom' are not helping to deter me from attempting something like the above in the next couple of weeks. Glassy lakes, sun-drenched fields, deserted beaches and glorious sepia-toned scenes of love, laughter and adventure - that's what I want my life to look like.
Sigh.
