Apparently Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly do. And they are telling me I do, too. And I, like the actor pair who made their debut while fighting insomnia in the Starbucks capital of the world, am finding charm in bouquets of sharpened pencils, "taking it to the mattress," golden retrievers named Brinkley, reading Pride and Prejudice over and over- and wondering every time if Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett really will end up together. And they do; just like the way Shop Around the Corner and Fox Books is able to swallow their pride and fight first prejudices to form a romantic union that will beat the test of time, or at least the woes of spam and viruses.
SoL #2. Paternal Notions of the Bride-to-Be.
A 22 year old graduate artchitect student studying in Rome; Daddy's little girl. Independent Communications Consultant; Unemployed. Dream wedding in a church with a reception at home; A barbecue in the backyard. Hiring a wedding coordinator; What's there to coordinate? Stop at the market to pick up something for dinner; Remove the superfluous hotdog buns to save every penny. Loves her father; Loves his daughter. Priceless. "W-w-w-welcome to da 90's Mista Bonks!"I appreciate the laughter and nonstimulating entertainment you back-to-back movies bring to my life, but on a Sunday evening, two nights before an important nursing exam, you merely pose as a distraction. My willpower and motivation is clearly facing the examination; and I am failing, miserably. But in the end, will I remember acing one academic test, or cramming onto one couch with family to watch amusing theatrical conversations on our modest 27 inch television? Definitely the latter, definitely.
"I'll be your... distraction." -Angels and Airwaves, "Distraction"
