To the Object of my Affection

Valentine's day is on a Blue Monday, and most of us people who have to get out there and earn a living may not have time to take the day off and be with the object of one's affection.

The evening would be a good time to have a Valentine Day's bash, call a load of attractive couples over and have a party celebrating your togetherness. It sure beats the hell out of eating in an overpriced, overcrowded restaurant any day.

When the object of your affection isn't in the same town as you are, well, 'the telephone can take the place of his smile' as the song goes, and with all the doo-dads on your smart mobile phones, a long distance date isn't entirely impossible, is it?

Of course those of you, who like me ,are in love with the idea of love, and for those who are in non-commital relationships,[ like a couple of dozen persons of varying ages, sexes, proclivities whom I know, and who regularly drop in to read this blog.. nudge nudge], here's an idea: spend the evening with some great love stories on celluloid.

Here's my list:
Mamma Mia [it's a party every time I watch this flick]
The Bird Cage [It's all about what love really is, underneath the campiness of the characters]
An Affair to Remember [You know why]
Rent [Love isn't all about mush and happy endings]
Love Story [It's about mush and lots of wet handkerchiefs]
The Object of my Affection [we love it, this one]
The Fiddler on the Roof [yes, this is a love flick, three love stories and the classic songs, 'Golde... do you love me?', Matchmaker, Sunrise Sunset... and most of all this is a story about a man's love relationship with his Maker ....]
Happy Valentine's Day
