All rationality aside, I just watched The Constant Gardener. It's a wonderful movie from start to finish, but, in keeping with my usual opinion, the love parts are the best parts. Two people meet, are struck by one another, and not sure if it's love, marry almost immediately with the promise that they could "learn" one another.

They never do learn one another, not until it's late in the game, but they certainly do love each other, whether they know why or not. It was a beautiful love story pieced together in moments of memories and I totally bought it. Because I believe that it's possible. That even rational people can meet and alight, and without knowing why, stay lit. It's lifesaving, really. To know that there are moments, encounters, with just the right person in which you can attract and return so much passion.

I'm also a little bit high on chocolate cake. Follow the recipe, but use mini-chips, and don't frost with a glaze. Stick with a dust of powdered sugar. You'll thank me.
