a sad day

Something tragic happened today in our household; I discovered my beloved copy of the movie You've Got Mail is no longer functional.

You've Got Mail is not my favorite movie or anything (It's a Wonderful Life is); however, I tend to watch it about 3 times a year for some reason. I have probably seen it about 30 times, but have yet to tire of it. I think it's like comfort food for me. It just makes me feel happy and content. Plus, I love Tom  Hanks and he's hilarious in this movie.



It's been so hot these days, and all I wanted to do this evening was lay on the couch in front of the air conditioning, browse through some old Martha Stewart Living magazines that I got at the Book Thing and watch You've Got Mail, but when I put the DVD in the DVD player, it was fuzzy and distorted and kept freezing up. Tim and I both tried to fix it, but it was hopeless. I had to say goodbye.

I will have to purchase another copy one day.

Does anyone else like this movie?

p.s.--the best part of the movie is when Tom Hanks is meeting Meg Ryan for the first time and he has his friend peek in the window to tell him if she's pretty or not. When his friend informs him that she is, in fact, good-looking, Tom Hanks flips out and says, "She is! I knew she would be! She had to beeeee! She had to beeeeeeeeeeeahhhhhhh." and jumps up and down against a fence.
