Movie talk

Angela and I watched Trauma last night. Have you seen it? Weird movie. Neither of us liked it much. Colin Firth gets into a car accident and ends up going nuts, and something bad happens with ants and poisonous spiders. I was actually more into my Oprah magazine than the movie, but that's what I gathered.

Angela gets upset with me when we sit down to watch a movie and I end up flipping through a magazine or writing out a grocery list, but I'm just not that into so-so movies. It's still quality time the way I see it. We're sitting near each other and our feet are overlapping on the same ottoman, so what difference does it make if she has Colin Firth's pet ants on her mind and I have "What Oprah knows for sure" on mine?

There are movies I love--like Sideways and Crash--but for the most part if movies don't launch me into deep thought where I can ponder the meaning of life, then I would rather skip them. I hate wasting time. I really hate movies with 'splosions. There's no point for me. Well, unless Jennifer Beals is in the 'splosion movie. She's inspiring.

I have that Blockbuster Online subscription that Kidd and Kellie talk about, so we order a ton of movies. Next up, Guess Who. No 'splosions in that, right? I'm finished with this issue of O and I may actually have to watch.

Love your blogs, Jen ...
Hey, I can see why Angela would be annoyed ... it's not just the being together that's important ... but being TOGETHER ... seeing the same thing, experiencing the same thing. An occasional magazine is fine - but I think you should try to be in the moment with her more and save the reading for times that she's also reading or when you're on the treadmill! It's all good ... love keeping up with you!!

Ok, see I would tend to agree with you Jen...it's ok to do different things as long as you're together. Sometimes, I just don't want to do the same things as my partner, but I want to be with her. I guess quality time means different things to different people.
