Okay, so, I'm about 5 years behind the times, but I heart Bend it Like Beckham. Sunday evening I was home, waiting for some peanut butter gooey bars to finish in the oven. I was using the TV as background noise when I noticed that Oxygen had Bend it Like Beckham on. Now, I'm not an oxygen watcher, but like I said, I needed some background noise. It was only background noise for 3 seconds. I was hooked into the movie. About an hour into it, I had to leave the house. I figured I could come back and catch it again, rent it, or hey, maybe it would be on demand. Well, it wasn't on demand and it wasn't rerunning. I assure you, had it not been the sabbath, I would have hauled my hiney to Walmart to buy this movie. I was so irritated because I wanted to know how the movie ended! 

I finally got my hands on a copy today and it's my new favorite movie. The contrast of what Jess wants and what her traditional Indian family wanted for her was so captivating. The internal stuggle of Jess not wanting to let anybody down was so real. The idea that she found where she fit in just in time for her parents to tug her away from it was so heartbreaking. A sports movie that didn't feel trite, instead it was refreshing and new, and I don't even know anything about soccer.

And don't even get me started on Jonathan Rhys Meyers...move over Nathan Fillion, this hot irishman just stole your spot on the top 5. Whew!  

All right, moving on...

Just a bit of Ainsley fun...
Mommy: I love you, do you love me?
Ainsley: Yes, I love me, too.
