I love Mil Millington. His site describes the perfect romantic relationship.
An excerpt from "Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About"
Margret doesn't like to watch films on the TV. No, hold on - let me make sure you've got the inflection here: Margret doesn't like to watch films on the TV. She says she does, but years of bitter experience have proven that what she actually wants is to sit by me while I narrate the entire bleeding film to her. 'Who's she?', 'Why did he get shot?', 'I thought that one was on their side?', 'Is that a bomb' - 'JUST WATCH IT! IN THE NAME OF GOD, JUST WATCH IT!' The hellish mirror-image of this is when she furnishes me, deaf to my pleading, with her commentary. Chair-clawing suspense being assaulted mercilessly from behind by such interjections as, 'Hey! Look! They're the cushions we've got.', 'Isn't she the one who does that tampon advert?' and, on one famous occasion, 'Oh, I've seen this - he gets killed at the end.'

Date: 2004-04-26 10:45 pm (UTC)As far as my little pieces of hell go, I have a good start on the one that's due Friday (yay!). I've thought a lot about the one that's due Monday, but I don't have anything written yet. I've been grilling my classmates and it sounds like they're in the same boat, too.
To congratulate myself for actually starting my film midterm, I think I'll be sneaking off to IHOP soon. Or I could just stay at home and work. Hmmm - tough call. What would YOU do in this situation?

Date: 2004-04-26 10:53 pm (UTC)Oh buggerfuck. I'm so tempted to join you at IHOP. But I know if don't sit my ass down here and eke out this fucking piece of shit, I will be completely screwed tomorrow. And not in a good way.
And if I go to IHOP I will consume something I shouldn't. This is not a night to test my willpower. Not after I was good and worked out.
I also sort of stopped smoking. I may break down and smoke with you post Greenlake, but have resolved to stop buying packs and chainsmoking them in the car.
