It seems I've lost some things along the way. What's standing out at the moment are my grey zip-up fleece from Old Navy (Christina at work has the same one and it reminded me how much I long for mine); certain movies like A Walk to Remember, Shall We Dance, and others -- I often do not have people that will watch girly romance movies with me so I find that my DVD collection includes many; socks -- I have bought lots of socks in the last year and some of them have grey heels, other pink. I have only one sock with a grey heel -- I think it was something like a 10-pair pack of socks and I only have one of the socks left after a year? I mean, I know that people philosophise (if that's even a word) about where socks go but seriously, where are all my socks?
The movies may have been left at my parents' house one time or another and have been put in strange places for safekeeping. The Old Navy fleece may well be in a bag of clothing that I put aside 8 months ago because I wasn't going to wear it for a long time. But the socks -- the socks elude me. I ALWAYS need socks. They are not in fact seasonal. I suppose girly romance movies aren't seasonal either but for some reason, you just have to be in the right mood to watch a lot of them.
Current movies I plan to add to my collection?
-The Lakehouse
-Dan in Real Life
-He's Just Not That Into You
-Up
-WallE
-Center Stage
-When a Man Loves a Woman
-Step Up
-Little Big League
-The Sandlot
-PS I Love You
and... that's all I can think of at the moment. I had bought The Jane Austen Bookclub and The Darjeeling Unlimited from Blockbuster for $4 apiece, since that's how much they cost to rent just once. The Jane Austen Bookclub turned into an instant favorite but the Darjeeling Unlimited was...strange. And I like strange movies. But it seemed intent on you not know what was going on in certain things and focusing on the relationship of some brothers at hand, without really ever explaining the characters themselves. And while I can get behind this type of cinema, I really like to know the backstories eventually. It's sort of a throw-away at times to never explain why a character is so strange with certain mannerisms. Like missing half of a book.
