Bored, listless, and morose

Looking back at my last post, I realize that I interpreted the question differently than I did just now. I don't often go to the cinema to see movies, but I'm constantly watching movies. I re-watch my favorites on DVD or (pretty rarely anymore) VHS. Or I check out something odd from the library, or rent. Tonight at work we got out the video projector, strung up a white drape, and ran a movie off my laptop, with some kickin' computer speakers. It was only three of us, but always enjoyable. We saw the car chase excuse for a film, Gone in Sixty Seconds. Fluffy, action packed, and Nick Cage is always good, and you really can't go wrong with Angellina Jolie (except with that HAIR!). Although I also get very melancholy sitting alone in a movie. It just screams to have somebody to cuddle with, or at least hold hands. I used to do that with a girlfriend when we watched movies. She used to request scary movies, so she could use it as an excuse to grab me, without the wife getting too upset. I'd sit on the couch with a blanket over me, she'd sit on the cushion next to me, at a respectable distance, and after a while share my blanket, all as a pretext to hold hands. She died just over a year ago of breast cancer. That's what I remember most. The friendly, light, casual, non-sugestive, non-sexual, touches that she'd give me. I don't have anybody that feels that way about me any more. And very few that I can get away with that kind of touching with too.
I hang out here at work a lot. I got broadband, a stash of booze, and quiet.
I guess that I should go home now, even though wife doesn't expect me quite yet.
ah well. life as an old married man.

I think tomorrow may be better. A walk in the gardens may be in the offing.
