A few months ago, I was out with my friends. or working late, or something, and Gary watched this movie, The Breakup, with Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn. I asked, “How was it?” fully expecting to give the standard Gary movie re-enactment, which takes 30 minutes longer than the movie itself, what with the analysis and the hopping.
“Oh, it was awful. The guy was just like me, AND his name was Gary.”
Now, I know Jennifer Aniston was naked in this movie; that’s why Gary wanted to see it. If this self-recognition overshadowed “Rachel’s” naked ass, it must be right on. That’s why I rescued the movie from the Tivo Suggestions the next time it came up.
Let me tell you, it was like marriage counseling. Jennifer Aniston would scream “You don’t appreciate me!” and Gary would coo, “Ellen, I want you to know I appreciate you.” Really odd. Don’t know what to make of it. Only, I kept rooting for Vince Vaughn instead of Jennifer Aniston. “I want you to WANT to wash the dishes!” I don;t even want to wash the dishes. You threw the party, girl, you clean it up.
P.S. – Just because it merits mentioning, I had a new category of dream last night: The Squirrel Dream. Squirrels were in every room of my house, watching me dress, watching me shower, watching me all the time. I hate squirrels.

Oh that movie was WAY real. That dishes scene that you mentioned- I walked out going “was the screenwriter living in my house the last 2 years before my divorce?” It was so realistic it was hard to watch at times. BTW- we call squirrels “tree rats” around here. 🙂
OK squirrel dream is super creepy. Hope you don’t have anymore of those. And who doesn’t love som free marriage counseling? Nice.
Squirrels aren’t bad… it’s the racoons you have to watch out for.
I hated The Breakup. It was too real to be funny. That said, I didn’t have a lot of sympathy for the Aniston character; she was frequently unreasonable. Ooh, maybe I didn’t like her because she was *just like me.*
I thought both of those characters were too stupid to be married.Then again, all I really remember is Jennifer Aniston’s sweet ass.
Funny, I now have this urge to send you every single picture of squirrels I have ever taken. Which must be around 100. I love squirrels! I don’t care if they’re rodents.
I adore squirrels.John does most of the cooking and helps with the dishes. Sometimes if I am tired he will do them on his own. The issue then is the amount of time it takes to do the dishes. Basically, what should take no more than 20 minutes can stretch out to a 4 hour chore. Other times I tell him to go watch TV and do them on my own.He would never dump me with a mess like that after a party to introduce my family to his.Bless his hairy little heart.
yookie – I’ve heard a lot of people have that argument. I just never expect Gary to do anything, then it’s a nice surprise when he often does. Otherwise I’d just notice when he doesnt. Autumn – I’ve looked up the squirrel dream and supposedly I have some preparedness issues. Why I wouldn’t just have the school exam dream I don’t know.Sue – And possums. With their claws and ghostly faces.TasterSpoon – Nah. She was overly high expectations.Ajooja – Yes, Gary complained that he saw the ass seen twice before and one magical time it was not all blurry.Faythe – (Sick, evil Faythe) You know what provoked the dream. You photo.Zayrina – Gary washes the dishes and relies more heavily on friction than soap. It takes forever.
