Michael & Liz are Bloggable

You ever have a craving for chocolate or ice cream? I know Liz always has cravings for our neighborhood Mexican restaurant "El Dorado". There's no doubt about it, I give in every time that craving comes along. I don't usually get too many food cravings, mine seem to come in another form.

For some reason I have a craving every single day to watch a certain random movie. I'll be sitting at work or running on the treadmill and think "OH MAN! I want to watch that RIGHT NOW!" I'd be surprised if I'm alone in this feeling. This week, these were/are my cravings:

• Wednesday: James Bond - Casino Royale with Daniel Craig
• Thursday: The Hangover
• Friday: Avatar
• Saturday: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I usually never indulge my cravings mainly because they come up at the dumbest times and I forget about them. There have been times though and it's been glorious. Usually movies that become regular cravings are movies I have to buy. For example:

• I Love You, Man
• The Breakup
• Knocked Up
  
• Forgetting Sarah Marshall
  
• A Knight's Tale
• Rocky (all of them)
• Rudy
• Cinderella Man
  
• Harry Potter (all of them)
• Love Actually

I think the reason I like "Love Actually" is more because it's so Christmas themed and the movie counts down to Christmas. I love that time of year with the coldness and music and atmosphere. The other movies invoke feelings in the extreme, being either humor or action or heroism and I think that's why I always crave them in particular. Like if I'm running and feeling energized and think "MAN! I could totally listen to Rocky right now!" because of how pumped it makes me.

I may indulge my craving later today, we'll see.
