Cotton Underwear

Have you seen High Fidelity?

I have. For like a hundredth time. This one is on my list of feel-good movies; not a list of super brilliant movies like Inception, but the kind of movies I watch anytime PMS starts to strike or I have random galau moments. Oh, it also has John Cusack in it! You know how I love Om-Om ;)

I watched it again last night, and however tacky this could be, I’ve decided to quote this:

Rob: The other girl, or other women, whatever. I mean, I was thinking that, they are just fantasies, you know? And they always seem really great, because there’s never any problems. And if there are, they are the cute problems, like we bought each other the same Christmas present, or she wants to see a movie I’ve already seen, you know. Then I come home… and you and I have real problems, you don’t want to see a movie I want to see, period. There’s no lingerie…

Laura: I have lingerie!

Rob: You have great lingerie! But you also have cotton underwear that’s been washed a thousand times, and it’s hanging on the thing, and… And they have it too, it’s just that I don’t have to see it, because it’s not in the fantasy… I’m tired ot the fantasy, cause it doesn’t really exist. And there are never really surprises and it never really…

Laura: Delivers?

Rob: Delivers. Right.

I have my cotton underwear. He has his stained underwear.

And I want it to be our real problems, together, for as long as we both shall live.
