Say Anything

Have you watched this John Cusack's classic yet? Because if you haven't, you should.

It seemed like the whole universe got together and really wanted me to watch this movie. I'll explain why.

A friend brought it up for the first time during a dinner date. He was raving about true love, perseverance and Peter Gabriel's hit single—In Your Eyes, the absolute romantic theme song that was blaring in the boom box John C's character was holding up outside his love's window all morning.

The second reminder was when I was hanging out with a couple of friends from work. One of them have a boyfriend who looked exactly like John Cusack, only years younger, which is the age when John C was in that movie. He told us he signed a *fake* autograph as he didn't have the heart to tell the poor little girl that he is NOT him; he crashed a private party of some rich kid and how he wanted to hold a boom box up like John C did in that movie for his gf, just for laughs, one fine day.

Then of course, as I'm plants/house-sitting for a colleague on extended vacation, I have to raid his porndvd collection (with his permission ok!). And the Say Anything dvd was sitting on top of the pile.

Things happen for a reason. I watched the movie and loved it. I admit that it made me tear, but no, I didn't go out immediately to get a boyfriend. However I did try to, unsuccessfully, 3 days later(a whole other story ok~).

After I watched the dvd, I went to a friend's house party and played Scene It. I scored the quickest correct answer when it showed a scene of John Cusack and asked what movie that scene was in. 

On the following night, I went online to get my regular dose of design blog surfing and saw this:

If you want to know what this coaster says, go watch the movie yourself :p
