In which memories were relived


Date night last week was a home movie night.

(And dude. I know our dates lately haven't been very creative. It's the jar's fault, man. I'm sure we have a buncha funky ones coming up all in a row.)

Anyway. So I was in charge, and wanted to either buy or rent a new movie, because I'm tired of watching Ocean's Eleven. Wal-mart's five dollar bin was not inspiring me, Redbox is somewhat of an enigma, and I had pretty much resigned myself to a night of watching Brad Pitt eat nachos in shiny suits when I saw it.

STAR WARS.

And I remembered.

I remembered that My Man and I had been officially dating for two weeks - one week of which I spent in Idaho for Thanksgiving. We missed each other terribly. One week was a very long time to be apart. We burned. 

The night of our reunion, my apartment was packed. We settled in on the couch in his apartment instead, when ... Jeff came in and started a Star Wars marathon.

(Do you read this blog Jeff? Jeff? Are you there?)

We were thoroughly annoyed. I mean, really, Jeff. It had been a WEEK.

So we promptly made out during the whole movie. Maybe all three. I can't remember.

No worries, Jeff. Your back was turned.

(Bytheway. Watching Star Wars after a ten year lapse? Brilliant. Leia is watching her planet get blown up, and barely manages to look perturbed. Still. I LOVE IT.)

And I have to tell you when my husband and I go on our dates to chips and salsa (which I LOVE) I can't help wondering what you and your hubby are doing for your date. Mr. and Mrs. daters!

We watch SO MUCH Star Wars in this house that I would probably fairly perturbed if my man suggested it for a date night. (Even as I type this, The Hulk is playing Lego Star Wars.)

But when I was 16, I didn't want watch anything with the word "star" in it. (Wars, Trek, Gate, etc.) Now, I can tell you the entire 6 movie plot and quote the best lines. I'm even thinking of going with a Star Wars theme for Halloween this year.

Oh this brings back some memories! Neil and I were four hours apart throughout our whole courtship. There are a lot of movies we didn't watch together. Hee hee.

My husband and I have fond memories of King Kong for that reason.
As in, we didn't really remember anything from the movie...
