He has the power to hear everything women are thinking. Finally.... a man is listening...

Yeah, yeah I know ... This has to be a movie... or a dream :)

We watched "What Women Want" (directed by Nancy Meyers) on Saturday. Had the most wonderful time and we had a great laugh together :) It starred Mel Gibson as Nick Marshall and Helen Hunt as Darcy McGuire. Let me try to give you the story line without spoilers ...

Nick, a chauvinistic playboy/hot shot working at an advertising agency, thinks he's " God's gift" to women. His life is turned haywire however, when a freak accident enables him to hear what women think. First, Nick is pretty disappointed when he discovers that his beloved macho behaviour does not exactly contribute to being desired and also he can even hear what poodles think :) So, at first all he wants to do is rid himself of this curse, until he is convinced that he could use it to his advantage.

His first target is Darcy McGuire, a supposedly "man-eating", very talented advertising expert, who has managed to steal his dream position in the company. Nick decides to sabotage his new boss by reading her thoughts and selling her ideas as his own. Unfortunately just as his plan is beginning to work . . . love gets in his way.

There... didn't spoil it too much did I? :)

The movie was great....although at the beginning I did start out pissed off at Nick for the pig he was ;) And Darling got his fair share of well aimed punches for trying to defend him :) I do wish they had brought out Darcy as a more loving woman. And the romantic parts of the movie (after they really get back together) seemed a bit too short... But... it was marvellous :) Fell in love with Mel Gibson all over again, loved the plot, loved the music ... plus got my wish to lounge around with Darling with a hot chocolate !! Yes !!! :)

What more could a girl ask for?? Now if only I could get zapped and get this ability to find out what men really want .....

*sigh* ....

The most depressing thing with my office is it has no windows...We are all imprisoned in this little blue room with just the right amount of oxygen to last the day. aaaarrrgh.... There is absolutely no way for me to look out, smell the breeze (okay.. fumes), watch the birds (hmmm... cars and buses), listen to the wind (umm.. ambulances (?)) nothing ... zilch... zero.... We wouldn't know if a bomb went off, neither if a fire consumed whole of Colpetty :(

Its sooo cooold..... the A/C's on at 12 (!), the guy beside is sniffling into his hand, into his tea, onto me..... there is a weird guy beside the door who keeps on squinting into his pockets (???) I'm b..o..r..e..d.... There is nothing to look at, no one to talk to, nothing to entertain me... :(

*sigh* :( :( When all I want is to snuggle into someone (",) with a hot chocolate and mag...mmmm... :D

Alright... I know this is an office... I'm supposed to work ... but couldn't it be a pleasant, happy atmosphere? plsssss.... Or is it just me being way too pessimistic and negative? Need to look on the good side of things... (?)

hmmmm...... I need to find another job =)
