"Didn't you watch Boys in the Hood? Now one of us is going to get shot!"

Happy Friday! Wait, it is Friday, right? Hmm, I've officially been out sick from work (per doctor's orders) for so long now I've lost track of time...already! And then I say 'Happy Friday' and then someone reads this on, say, a Saturday or Sunday or what have you and they are thinking "Sheese, what an idiot, its (insert current day of the week at that time)!" And then I say 'Yeah, well, you know what?? You, sir/madam, are the idiot! It was what I believe to be Friday when I posted so bite your tongue Mr./Ms.!!!'
So now that I've gotten my random, psychotic intro out of the way...
What is on my agenda for this loverly Friday? It is a beautiful day here today, btw. Its cool-ish, cloudy and grey...albeit a bit humid so my hair is...yeah...
Well today finds me with my hand deep in a bowl of Almonds (raw and unsalted--I hate salt with a passion), curled up on the couch, net book in my lap and a stack of DVDs at my side. The DVDs are in the order in which I want to watch them. Most of them are girl movies, which, normally I don't care for, but I'm in that kinda mood. All I need is a bottle of wine. A sweet wine. Anyway, back to movies...
They are as follows:
1. Vicky Christina Barcelona
2. The Holiday
3. Zach and Miri Make a Porno
4. Casablanca
5. Groundhog Day
6. Paranormal Activity
7. I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell
And currently playing: Swingers!!!!

Aren't they so money?

I can't even begin to explain how awesome I think this movie is...ok, I'll try.

Usually this is my "I've just broken up with someone" movie. I watch it and cry and wonder if men really do have feelings like women and as portrayed in the movie. Or is Jon Favreau the only one?

But I digress...

I love the opening scene where Mr. Favreau and a very super-uber sexy Ron Livingston are in the diner. I have found that what "Rob" (as played by Mr. Livingston") says, "Somehow they know not to come back until you really forget", is absolutely true. Then I cry a little harder and pray to forget so whoever can come back and I can be whole and happy again. Isn't it amazing what delusions heartbreak can create?

Here's what really happens*:

Week 1:

Cry

Watch Swingers almost nonstop

Eat chocolate (like I don't shovel it in by the truck load already)

Wish, hope, pray that Ex Lover will come crawling back and realize that I'm the perfect girl

Journal about said person about all the good things and good times

Week 2:

Repeat Week 1

Journal about how Ex Lover and I each deserve to be happy even if its not with eachother

Have horrible dreams about Ex Lover

Increase chocolate consumption

Sit alone in dark kitchen eating cereal out of the box sans milk of any kind

Week 3:

Repeat Week 1

Repeat Week 2

Journal about how I hate Ex Lover so damn much and all Ex Lover ever did was bring misery and pain into my life. Ex Lover is a damn liar and deserves nothing but heartache and emptiness forever.

Venture out in public- dressed to impress- and count how many people who resemble Ex Lover check me out/hit on me

Cry just a little more

Make a mix of songs that remind me of Ex Lover

Week 4:

Wake up happy and "over it"

Go about my usual life

Hang out with friends again who have all but forgotten my name and what I look like

Forget about Ex Lover

Week 5 (or beyond):

Receive random text/email/phone call from Ex Lover

Delete

Ok, well I guess I've gotten off the subject here...

So Swingers is awesome! It is on my list of favorite movies EVER!

I just really like how I can relate to Jon Favreau's character. Although, I think most of us can. And I'm rambling... Remind me not to watch movies and blog at the same time! (Ha!)

Its funny, helps me put things into prospective while still allowing me to take my mind off things. There, I said it.

And sometimes I don't need to be heartbroken to watch it. Like today, I'm just in the mood for it!

Well, this ramble has gone on long enough! Instead of talking about my other choices I'll cut this short for now! Anyway I'm nom nom nom-ing on some yummy salad!

*Extreme exaggeration, here
