Sam and I were reflecting on how we don't have money these days. It's not an unhappy thought, we likened ourselves to the couple in the "Gift of the magi". He offered to get me a new cell phone for Christmas and I declined and told him "no, its better if we just give each other poems that we write for each other". He agreed that it was a great idea.
We were watching some reality TV tonight and it was so annoying to see Trista make her wedding plans. She actually had her wedding planner email and call her parents to keep them apprised of what was going on because she was too busy. Is that the epitome of self absorbtion? But, I did get a great idea while watching that show. Sam and I are going to have joint bachelor-bachelorette parties. That way we can simplify and save time and share the event. I believe that bachelor parties are about male bonding above everything else, and he has so many guys offering to hold him parties he wants to have more than one. But I think if we were together, it would be the most special occasion.
Sam's favorite actresses are not renowned for their acting ability. Julia Stiles and Sarah Michelle Gellar are not great actresses, I can objectively say. And the thing that gets me is that he won't admit that someone like Kirsten Dunst, who is still pretty, has far more talent and range. How will I ever be able to critique movies with someone so biased? I can see that he agrees, but it's almost like he feels a sense of loyalty to these B-movie future has-beens, and he will squint and grimace through his strange allegiance to them.
