I posted this to the Burke site last night, I went to the mega multiplex and saw "You've Got Mail," and "Shakespeare in Love" back to back. The audience cheered at the end of "Shakespeare in Love," haven't heard that in a while. Afterwards all the cars in the parking lot were covered with 3/8" of hard ice, and hundreds of drivers were all standing next to their cars, scraping off ice. The crunch-crunch-crunch was deafening.
I really liked both of them, very cathartic, and afterwards I was thinking, on the way home, that if my erstwhile partner had really loved me, he wouldn't have treated me the way he did. An eye-opener. Duhhhhh. I told my husband this morning, and he gave me that look he does, over the top of his glasses, kinda quizzical (I keep telling him he must practice it in the mirror but he swears he doesn't). "This is old news, right?" I asked him. "I kept telling you." It's finally sinking in.
So, well worth it. |
