Anyone Else
I got to get out during Robert’s vacation to see a movie that I’ve wanted to see: Juno. The movie is about a pregnant teenager dealing with all that entails. Juno is not preachy, but comical and heart-warming. I know the subject is nothing to laugh about, but the dialog and relationships feel real. If you get a chance to see it, I think you would be delightfully surprised.
One of the other aspects of the movie that I loved besides the dialog and acting was the soundtrack. Robert found me trying to find the soundtrack online. I loved the song "Anyone Else But You" by Moldy Peaches. It had this folk quality with a modern turn. It summed up one of the main sentiments of the movie and captured its quiet sparkle. The song haunted me.
Robert, the ex-DJ, music retailer, and collector of all-things-music, hunted it down for me. He bought me my first MP3 player and loaded it up.
I really can’t imagine loving anyone else but him.

P.S. Robert saw Juno on my recommadation too. He enjoyed it. We quote lines from the movie back and forth now.

You forgot to forewarn people (in case they go to listen to the Moldy Peaches song) that the song is very raw regarding its musicianship. Good, but very raw.
