Chick Flicks

Sometimes I wonder, just how many helpless romantics out there are made by chick flicks, imagining the perfect guy is just out there somewhere waiting to be bumped into. Oh, how disillusioned you are. For those of us waiting, it certainly doesn't help to have a movie give all sorts of false ideas of what Mr. Right should be like, and is especially harmful to single believers.

Chick flicks have a very attractive formula. Hot guy + creative idealist/career-woman + cute story + stuff (aka inappropriate material) = a fly trap for buzzing helpless romantics. Let's be realistic. He doesn't have to be hot, you don't have to have it all together (or a career), love at first sight is the exception to the rule, and what happens in the master bedroom needs to stay in the master bedroom.

On a side note, Erin McKenna worked her magic on me again. I made Triple Chocolate Fat Pants Cake the other day. Oh, was it decadent. God gave us a gift when He gave us chocolate.
