Suds
Few things happen like the movies. I've never awoken to pebbles being tossed at my window. I've never cursed the heavens as the rain poured down on me. I've never walked into the sunset never to return. But there seems to be one thing that does happen like the movies and it happened to me this morning. This morning while I was doing the laundry it overflowed. Not just water, but suds and lots of them. Just like the movies. So like the movies that I will end my description here and let you insert what you recall. In fact please post what your movie like laundry overflow would look like in the comments.

I think for me it would be that scene in the movie that would climax the emotion... I would have just been dumped or lost my job or a friend passed away or all of the above, and I would sink to the floor with my head in my hands and then the washer would dramatically start leaking as a physically representation of my emotions... Joanna Newsom's song the Milk-Eyed Mender would start playing and would be the only sound you heard. I would clean the water up with a towl and then after the mess was gone, I would stay in the floor, curled into a ball, fall asleep... fade out.
i almost felt bad for you until milk-eyed mender came on. then i wondered why they haven't cancelled dawsons creek yet and changed the channel.
When suds overflow in movies, the washing machine lid always becomes a vicious alligator mouth, violently snapping shut, then opening, then snapping shut again.
Did you ever see Requiem For A Dream? There's a crazed, fanged refrigerator in that movie. It's a close relative of those crazed overflowing washing machines.
Also: thanks for asking about my interview. It went well -- about as well as it could have gone. It lasted an hour and I got to guide them through some of my work. I felt totally at ease 90% of the time, and only mildly tense the other 10%. I'm supposed to hear back early next week, after Memorial Day. If I'm offered the job I'll probably take it, but I'm not sure yet.
HAHAHA Jen... I think you got the point then. Plus to be more relevant, I believe you mean The OC.
I was sitting in the balconey front row anticipating my first judy collins concert. Midway through the concert, when she began "Like a Bird on the Wire'" I levitated flew out of my seat and all around the auditorium enjoying my newfound gymnastic abilities to kflip and tumble in perfect sommersaults flying like an angel.
Kris Kristofferson once told Leonard Cohen that he wanted some lines from Cohen's "Bird on the Wire" etched on his (K's) tombstone.
That's the most intimate thing I know about Kris Kristofferson.
