I love movies. You probably have already realized that, but I do. I've also been known to interject movie lines seamlessly into conversation, but that only works well when the person on the receiving end has seen the movie and picks up on the joke or reference.
Now that school is back in session and we just went through the explosion of Office Max and Target / Kohl's commercials, I couldn't help but think of the movie, "You've Got Mail". Remember that movie? It was the dot-com version of Sleepless in Seattle. Between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, I was in love. Plus, I'm a hopeless romantic, so of course I was bound to like it.
However, the reason it popped into my head was because with all the back to school advertisements, I couldn't help but think of the line Tom Hanks writes to Meg: "Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address." Aaaaah, fall romance. Personally, real roses are fine with me, but I just love that that line still pops into my head, like clockwork. Additionally, I love it when someone understand the reference I have just made when I use it in conversation. That's the even more enjoyable part.
So, cheers to movie quotes and changing seasons. They should always go hand in hand.
