My B-side

Something that Produces Results

Wow, I’m such a bum. I just woke up…it’s 1:30. I can’t use the excuse that I went to bed late. 3 a.m. is usually a bit early for me. So what IS my excuse? A CRAZY dream, one of those in which you force yourself to stay asleep just a bit longer to see the end unfold. Unfortunately, I don’t remember how it ended or even the basis of the plot. Jude Law and Uma Thurman were present, and I was ridiculously in love. My younger cousin, Carma, placed an oil pastel in a silent auction. A friend of mine bought it for 185 dollars. The weirdest part of my dream… I had to pee really badly. So I dash to the bathroom. The room has at least two huge picture windows on each wall. I’m frantically trying to pull down the blinds when my Grandma walks in and asks me to bring her some Golden Grahams out of food storage for dinner. I think this is when I woke up? …I have an extreme subconscious.

Last night, I was supposed to attend the dance. I was pretty bummed after a tow truck had to meet me at the mall to give the Mazda a boost. (Good news: I finally got the key out of the ignition. Bad news: I missed water aerobics because of it.) I went ahead and got ready, but just wasn’t feeling it. I ended up at Clean Flicks. I had no idea what I was looking for… it seemed like everything was checked out anyway. The guy at the counter saw that I had brought back Eternal Sunshine. He threw me a line from his cash-register-wielding fortress…”How’d you like it?” I smiled…”like is an understatement.” He laughed, “You’re right… I loved it too.” This is when he comes over. We play a movie-game of the sort. He’d ask me if I had seen this one, that one, and how I liked them. We did this for a good 30 minutes. We went over to his collection…he made me promise to rent Donnie Darko and was mad at me for hating Kill Bill. I thought he was crazy for liking Aliens, and he was embarrassed for loving Shakespeare in Love. I ended up with Wicker Park and I pledged to return and give him a thorough review...yes I fell in love with the boy at the movie store who has a tattoo. My concluding thoughts on the Clean Flicks visit: Guys who wear girl jeans...WOW.

Wicker Parkis the most (I’m leaving this blank because there is no adjective to justify the awesomeness of this movie) ________ film I’ve seen. It made my top 5 in the first 30 minutes. I don’t want to give a single scene away but I have to say something about the end... I replayed it four times before I went to bed. No wonder I dreamt about crazy love.

He couldn't even stand in her presence.
