How To Lose Your Friends And Alienate Yourself
Its Friday night. Well, effectively, Saturday morning. And the temperature on the east of Lake Michigan has dropped to a good 39 F. With the sudden chill thats spread over, RC and I decide to make this a Blockbuster night. FYI - Blockbuster night means renting DVD's from Blockbuster!
Now RC has never seen Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. And ages ago I had mentioned how I happened to find this movie so.... different! Well, different in a nice way. So despite many a protest, RC decides to rent Eternal Sunshine.
So there we are, sitting in front of the TV, munching pop-corn and watching the movie. I have made several attempts to sneak away and log onto the computer but RC insists I should keep her company. "If you so highly recommend a movie, you should watch it as well", are the the exact words.
Its an hour into the movie and I am so totally out of my mind. I love this movie, but tonite is so not an eternal sunshine night. Its more like an Incredible Hulk night (speaking of which, I was thinking of a remake of the Incredible Hulk which would star yours truly and would be called the Incredible HUNK. The first person I bounced this idea off almost died of laughter and hence I changed plans. But now I think it might make a good comedy. Anyways, I digress). Now those of you who might have seen the movie would know the Korgis - Everybody's Gotta Learn sometime is part of the soundtrack. And those who know me, know that I cant sing to save my soul.
As Kate Winslet walks onto the screen.
Me: (singing) Change your heaaaaaart, Look arounddddd you...
(I get a stare from RC, who has probably heard me sing for the first time)
Me: (singing) Change your heaaaaaart, it will astoooooound you
RC: OK, stop!
Me: (singing) I neeeeed your lovingggggg....
RC: I missed out on what they were saying. Shut up or I am going to beat you up! (waves remote at me)
Me: (sings) Like the sunshiiiiiiine
-whack- -whack- -whack-
Me: Oh yeah! I like that! Hit me more!
RC: (rolls eyes and goes back to watching the movie)
Me: (sings) Like the sunshine....
RC: Why dont you surf the net?
What can I say? Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometimes!!

The world is against me. I was typing this post at 1 AM and the net went off. I had no option but to return to Eternal Sunshine....
... 10 days to go!
