nobody puts baby in a corner

no matter how many times i see them, i can’t get enough of contact or gattaca (1997 was a good year for movies, i guess).
last night, my trouble laid in the fact they were both on at the same time on different channels. so i flipped. for two hours i flipped back and forth. luckily, i’d seen them both several times before so i knew when i could afford to miss a larger portion of one to ensure i didn’t miss a good part of the other.
the other movie i watched yesterday (only because it was on and i was doing nothing) was dirty dancing. again, this is a movie i’ve seen dozens of times, but i still find myself watching it whenever it’s available to me.
i had such a thing for patrick swayze in high school. it started with north & south (which is playing on the history channel right now and i’m reminding myself to find out when it is so i can tape it). both amy & i had pictures of him in our german binders and we’d sit in the back of class and talk about him for an hour every day. it’s that whole reserved, tense, barely-contained-animal-energy he exudes, i suppose.
i did manage to do my laundry yesterday, and cook a small pot of vegetable soup (which i ate in its entirety). other than that, all i did was watch movies on tv and download black & white. i was thinking i need a game which is like crack. i don’t spend enough time neglecting my household chores, hobbies or friends. i’m such a dork.
