Okay, I have new favorite superhero movie: Hancock!
Hans called me from work last night to ask if I'd meet him at the movie theatre between his office and our house to see a 6:30 showing of Hancock and I'm so glad I did. What a fun, funny, suprising movie!! The premise is interesting, but the movie delivers more (or less, if you expect that they will stick with the premise alone). Definitely recommended.
This was our second mid-week date of the week - a real shocker since we never have mid-week dates. A few months back, I asked Hans to have an affair with me and he turned me down. Meeting him for movie dates has felt a little like having an affair (albeit the sweet, mostly non-sexual, naive, midwestern kind of affair people who knew me in high school might have predicted I would have) since we arrive and leave in separate cars. It's so much fun to round a corner and find him sitting on a bench in dress clothes waiting for me! It reminds me of seeing him on campus at USC. We had this little sixth sense that could detect each other before we were actually within visual range, and we'd turn a corner and be looking straight at each other at exactly the right moment. He even gets off the bench, walks toward me, and kisses me hello (when he arrives home from work, the dog gets his attention first because she demands it and I get a "hi, honey" while Kaija attacks him, so a kiss hello - in public no less - is big!). My goal for next time, if there is a next time, is to get him to walk me to my car.... Bad Girlfriend by Theory of a Dead Man was playing on my radio as we drove away and I pulled up next to him at a red light to flirt, but he doesn't have power windows so that wen't nowhere. Again, maybe next time....
Silly, yes, but that's okay. And maybe a little pathetic, but I'm okay with that, too. 'Cause it's fun and just a tiny bit cute....
