I like movies.
I like to go to the theater. It's fun to take the boys, plan a date with Andy, or go with girlfriends. A few months ago, Andy and I got SUPER crazy and double dated to a movie that got out at almost 1:30 a.m. That's a late night for us old people. '
I also like (and prefer) to randomly catch a movie TV from the comfort of my own couch.
I like old classics and stuff from the 90's. I enjoy the bad editing for commercial time and/or the bad replacement for swear words. Ask me sometime about "Mister Falcon."
When the boys were little, I could get away with squeezing in a movie during their nap or after bedtime. But lately, and by lately I mean since Nic was two or three, I have not watched a whole lot of movies at home. If the boys miraculously nap at the same time, I am napping as well. And by the time the boys are in bed, and I have gotten myself settled for the evening, a two-hour movie puts my bed time too late.
However, with both boys being in school, I have been enjoying watching movies during the day. A girl can only clean so much in a week. And even with lunch dates and pedicures (SUCH a rough life) I can squeeze in some flick action.
It takes a little planning. Daytime TV is all about talk shows and infomercials. So I use my handy DVR to record whatever sounds good for the week or utilize the free on-demand stuff. This week I have enjoyed two "classics" and a "new" movie: Speed, Can't Hardly Wait, and What's Your Number.
It's fun to watch the movies uninterrupted and if I can squeeze in a little multi-tasking (laundry, blogging, whatever) it's even better. Still a little weird to me to take the time to watch a movie by myself. It is almost a luxury. But I am getting used to it and am sure Em and I will watch plenty of movies together while his brothers are at school.
