Julie and Julia

I saw Julie and Julia with Puxy last night. OK movie -- it was long! We left the theatre at 1am and it was raining.

There was absolutely no chemistry whatsoever between Julie and her husband. And when he left her, I didn't care. And when he returned to her, I didn't particularly care.

On the other hand, there was great chemistry between Julia and her husband. They seemed to love each other, not just in a I'm in my middle age and I've got you with me for my winter years, but also in a passionate, romantic way. (Although I was a bit disappointed that they made a point of putting out both the bedside lamps before doing their deed together. After all, a little bit of light never hurt anyone. Or anything.)

Mostly, I liked Julia's zest for life. I saw her smelling some green herbs (let's call them mint?) and thought, I should go through life sniffing things. Of course, this morning when I walked back from the gym and saw a huge pile of dog poop on the sidewalk (so big that I wondered whether it was human excrement) I was grateful for my ability to turn all of my senses inwards.

Nice to spoil the movie for me.

i guess you like to have sex with the lights on. either that or you wanted to see 2 old people do it on screen. thanx for sharing.

And I thought you did not like to have the lights on.

Don't sniff, it is disgusting.

I didn't realize Julie and Julia was a movie. . . I thought they were your friends, and thought, what? you're criticizing your friend's marriage? How could you? Then I realized it was Caveboy who was writing and took back that thought. Heh heh!

No, no, Inihtar, Caveboy would indeed criticize his friends marriage.....not in a bad way, but the most helpful way possible.

I loved this movie, I thought the Julia parts were more interesting but I thoroughly enjoyed the Julie parts as well. It made me think that my opening this catering business may not be a bad idea....you know I have had my doubts!
