kestrellPrompted by the big revelation of the final episode of Lost.
Me: I'm breaking up with you because you never seem interested in what I want.
XBF: What? I am too interested in what you want.
Me: No, you aren't. You say you are, but we always end up doing what you want while I sit around bored watching you do whatever it is you want to do, which is usually the same thing you did last time we spent time together. I don't think you take this relationship seriously.
XBF: I take our relationship seriously.
Me: No, you're just in it for what you can get, like my Neilsen rating. You're boring and predictible and I'm breaking up with you.
XBF: I'll change. Really. I want us to be together years from now.
Me: You said that last time I wanted to break up with you. And the time before that. I'm not falling for that line anymore. I feel like you're just going through the motions and not even trying to keep me interested. The last few times we were together, I found myself staring into space imagining doing something more exciting, like listening to paint dry.
XBF: I'm exciting.
Me: Sure you are, sweetie, and some day you'll find someone who can really appreciate everything you have to offer. I'm sure there are a lot of lonely invertebrates out there. Now this is me reaching for the remote.
XBF: No, wait! Don't leave me! I need you! Who's going to prop up my singking ratings?
Me: *Click*

Modern Family...
Date: 2010-05-27 01:35 am (UTC)The brother is a lawyer; his partner is a stay-at-home dad to the Vietnamese baby they just adopted. The sister is a stay-at-home mom to three wearying children; their father is a real estate agent who's forever looking into the camera to let us know, confidentially, just how cool he is.
The individual elements aren't that special, but watching the theme weave among the players is charming, and the writing is sharp.
I hear Treme is great. I've loved everything David Simon/Ed Burns have done, and Melissa Leo makes my mouth water. I'll be a happy camper in the fall when season 1 is out on DVD.
OK, enough procrastination re: my jewelry display! To work!
