What Is Your Wildest Fantasy?

Some people might say that fantasy can be a healthy part of a relationship between two mature, committed individuals. They might say it helps keep things interesting.

Now before you vomit a little in your mouth, and report our blog for indecency, hear me out.

I've been trying to convince Jen of this fact for four years now. She just doesn't believe me. She insists that those "authors" were not referring to fantasy football.


But even Jen admits that Fantasy Football makes our relationship "interesting." Like the time last year when she tried to stuff the remote control down the disposal. Or the time two years ago when I celebrated a last minute touchdown by ripping off my shirt and running around the block shouting "Who's your fantasy football king now?!"

Jen feels like fantasy football takes away from "us" time. But I told her she is always free to rub my back while I watch football. Which earned me a slap--also interesting.

Jen's interest in "us" time waned a bit after that, so I told her that this could be a great opportunity for a little girl time. She seemed to like that idea a little bit better, especially after she found the website http://womenagainstfantasysports.com. I'm not sure exactly what they talk about at her weekly meetings; Something about anthrax and ESPN headquarters--I wasn't really listening, it was during my leagues' live draft. I hear they're always looking for new members though, so if you're interested give Jen a ring on the old telly--especially if you have experience disarming alarm systems or uploading computer viruses to networks.

Glad you liked In the Mood For Love; It was kind of a downer (welcome to Chinese Film) but visually and aurally (word of the day) stunning. Have you seen Beijing Bicycle yet? Check it out.

And if you are looking International Journey on a similar theme rent De Sica's (Italian) Bicycle Thief, Beijing Bicycle (obviously Chinese) and Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (American, which should be to our collective embarrassment) and have a stimulating discussion on the intertextuality of the three.

My condolences to Jen for temporary loss of your spouse. All I can say is I understand!

Well, just so everyone knows I have a perfect husband, we have so much US time because he chooses me over fantasy football. Okay,okay, so he actually doesn't know how to play or even how to work the internet to do it so I guess I am just lucky. :)

My wife is ignoring me right now to read about Edward! Every time one of these crappy books comes out there is no us time after I get home from work for a week or so. Women just like to find reasons to enforce their double standards.
