I Am Gridiron Gang
I mean, Honey put it on the Netflix queue, which means she does want to see it. It's just that she's not in the mood right now, or she's tired. Probably some weekend morning will be best: Just wake up, watch the movie, and get on with the day. (No need for Special Features. Let's not get obsessed with this thing. We're not eighteen anymore, after all).
Now, there used to be a time when we watched, for example, the entire Arrested Development, staying up all night, maybe even watching an episode twice. But now we have Gridiron Gang.
Watching movies is the last thing on a woman's mind after giving birth, they say. But these things come and go, they also say. And soon, when the third season of Battlestar Galactica comes out, I hope she'll be interested in watching that, as long as it's the weekend. Maybe even take the time to watch some bloopers. What the hell--as long as the baby's asleep, might as well watch a few minutes of previews, too.
Maybe I should just shave.

In other news, the good folks at Indie Bloggers put up something I wrote a while ago. Thanks. It feels great to know that some of the junk I put down here has the potential to move others. I'm honored.

LABELS: SEX? LOL.
Congrats on the indie blogger recognition ...though if they have a slogan like "Write Well. Write Now" it seems like advice for the future.
uuuugh, you just reminded me of all the movies i missed out on during the great bladder infection of January 2008.
and congrats! it was meant to be.
I love crap films but my wife always wants to watch good, worthy ones. What is the point in that a) you have to concentrate and b) nothing to bitch about in a superior 'If only I had directed the film' kinda way. Bring on the Gridiron (not that I'm saying it's crap[but it looks it {I always wanted to use double brackets #wo, that makes it triple brackets/anon\#}]). .
Congrats on the indie blogger piece!!!! The movie doesn't look promising to me, but that's 'cause I only watch the ones that have singing or dancing.
Oh. I'm sorry. I haven't seen that movie.
It's just that if a year goes by and I don't compare a bad movie to my sex life I'm afraid I'll be thrown out of the English Majors club.
I know you just tried to make me feel better about liking a bad movie, but I'd seen the Netflix envelope for this movie on the dresser for so long, and when I asked Honey, she said she just wasn't in the mood to watch it right now. And I thought, I know how this movie feels.
I know it's my fault for being too vague in my metaphors (wasn't the sex label a dead giveaway?) I know I live in my own crazy world. I know. I know.
Apart from Kirsten, who out-metaphored me. I think. (And congratulations on the new blog. Looks great).
I wondered about that sex label. Really, I did dag nab it!
CNN had an article about movieless marraiges recently:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/02/12/healthmag.no.sex/
its an understandeable predicament when every movie you watch is of the caliber of Gridiron Sausage and Beefcake. What's crazy is that my wife (Anne) and I have a basically movieless marriage (our courtship period was devoid of movies as well) even though every movie I bring her way is epic in both scope, length, and intensity. It just doesn't make sense.
Good stuff here.
Have you tried to put a movie on to get her to watch a movie with you? Trashy? Maybe. But it helps.
I've been exercising and I want sex now more than ever. Sucks when your spouse doesn't exercise at all. And there are no metaphors in this paragraph.
durante vita
You don't need metaphors when The Rock is involved...If I were an actor, I'd want to be just like him. Oops, now I'm using irony.
You're not Gridiron Gang...The Rock has hair.
Jill, it's not you. It's me.
Pelkyi, how cute is that? Here I am thinking I'm all alone and you come and reassure me with a CNN article. I wouldn't say I'm not getting any, though. After all, I have a child. But tell me, what do married couples do other than watch DVDs?
Durante, what kind of movie do you mean? White Men Can't Hump? Or my favorite title--so simple in its ingenuity--Passenger 69. Doesn't exercise have the opposite effect? Maybe you should try running while guzzling baking soda?
Ameloblast, maybe I should avoid being a smart ass in my posts. Maybe I should stick to writing for the sake of writing. Maybe I should be more real and less ironic. Maybe I should stop trying so hard to justify having an English degree. Maybe I shouldn't spend twenty-five hours a day trying to be clever! (Look at that sentence--irony! Hyperbole! Anaphora!)
Woozie, you're right. I'm Van Diesel. I Am The Pacifier!
People In The Sun,
You should try to involve other couples in your movie viewing experience. My wife and I do and its great. It really spices the whole thing up. We call it "slinging."
I hope this helps. And God Bless this Great Land.
congratulations for being recognized. Your blog reflects your very hectic schedule. Thank you for coming by and reading mine. Veronica
Mr. Dorje, movie watching is a sacred activity between a man and a woman and their dogs. We call it "Netflixing." And God bless you, Sir.
Veronicaromm, it does feel nice to be recognized. Thanks.
