Not to be outdone by watching When Harry Met Sally by myself while very ill with double ear infections; ogling Ralph Fiennes in The English Patient with my roommate Kristen (yeah, we were the only ones watching the movie); and coming home from the theatre to find several boys and one girl watching Showgirls, unedited. (Of course I joined them). |
