& forget

i tend to fall asleep in movies quite a bit, and i fell asleep watching indecent proposal with my parents earlier this week (my mom is a huge fan of demi moore pre-ashton days.  i guess she's not fully in the know of who ashton is.  she just calls him "the younger guy with longer hair"), and i remember i woke just in time for this scene (after my parents had to fill me in on pretty much the entire movie)...

david (woody harrelson), the hubs who agreed to let his wife be with another man (the charismatic & handsome robert redford...) for a night for a million dollars (ah, movie circa '93 when that amt seemed much more & the US dollar was so much more attractive of a currency...), just a fill-in for those who haven't seen/may have also slept through the movie: I thought we were invincible.  But now I know that the things that people in love do to each other, they remember.  And if they stay together, it's not because they forget.  It's because they forgive.

a quote like that, and an episode of HIMYM like this (probably my favorite of season 3 so far) trigger that bit of that hopeless romantic in me (which i think is a contradicting term in itself & another entry in itself).

well.  good thing it doesn't take much to return to reality & remember that life goes on when the cameras stop rolling.  alas :[  c'est la vie.
