After an exciting seafood dinner at The Boiling Crab, I brought in the new year watching Breakfast at Tiffany's. The first and only other time I'd watched it I didn't give it a chance but now I see why it is a cult favorite. I never realized until now that Fred/Paul was a prostitute who had published one book years prior to meeting Holly Golightly, and hadn't found his muse until they met. If you haven't seen it, check it out. I hear it's a classic.
So The Boiling Crab was an interesting mess. Literally. We ordered a dozen raw oysters, two pounds of snow crab legs, gumbo, and a pound of shrimp, all swimming in separate bags of messy, greasy sauce & seasoning - garlic flavored, lemon pepper flavored, and "The Whole Shebang" flavored. My hands were an absolute mess when I finished, but I managed to keep my clothes out of it, thankfully.
I was very comfortable and content when 2012 finally arrived, in pajama's fresh from the dryer, clean sheets and pillow cases on my bed, fluffy pillows, and a chilled bottle of apple cider on my nite stand. Oh, and a few Ghirardelli peppermint chocolate squares to go with it. It was the perfect way to say goodbye to the year and begin anew.

I wish I was there to partake of that glorious seafood smörgåsbord. I'm sure you truly enjoyed it. I've never seen Breakfast at Tiffany's, but maybe I'll rent it just because you've mentioned it :)
Check it out, lemme know what you think of it. It's not the most wonderful movie in the world, especially by today's standards, but it's an interesting chick flick. I suspect it's what inspired Candace Bushnell to write Sex & the City. Too many similarities to Capote.
