Return of the Jedi.

Today I am grateful for those perfect moments.

not the "really sweet and romantic" ones.

or the "proud of someone special" moments.

or even those "life is so calm and tranquil right now" moments.

but those "something so freaking hilarious and perfectly timed just happened right in front of me and now i am going to have a heart attack from laughing so hard moments."

oh yea. those are the ones.

and tonight while watching the Return of the Jedi, one just played out in front of me so perfectly, i'm seriously still laughing about it.

you see, The Marsh is not a fan of the new Star Wars episodes 1-3. like at all. so when I bought him the Star Wars movies on blu-ray for his birthday I made sure to only buy him the original trilogy. and like with all older movies being re-released, there are definately alot of updated graphics and such in the movies, but nothing so much that The Marsh was really freaking out about it or anything.

well when we reached the scene where Darth Vader tells Luke to take off his mask, i couldn't help myself... I looked at The Marsh and said "wow, Hayden Christensen, you ain't looking to hott" (hayden christensen being who played Anakin in episodes 1-3) and The Marsh instantly got his pissy face on. that look that says "how dare you even bring up anything that has to do with THOSE movies while i am enjoying the original awesomeness here..but instead he chooses to say out loud "that's not hayden christensen, actually right now he looks more like humpty dumpty" and so we laugh and continue watching going on our merry way.

and then at the very end of the movie when everyone is celebrating with the ewoks and Luke looks over in amazement to see Yoda, Obi Wan, and his father all standing there all ghost like and such...this happens..

I thought The Marsh was literally going to have a stroke. I couldn't help it, i actually started to laugh.
he was just like "WHAT IS HE DOING IN MY MOVIE!!!!"

it was like the fates above had just set up the moment so perfectly. my bringing up hayden not even 10 minutes earlier and then him being edited in. The Marsh was flipping, even went so far as to wonder if they added hayden's name to the credits. and then he couldn't even bring himself to watch to find out.

oh, so priceless.

I live for those moments.

they always remind me exactly why i married The Marsh. because he doesn't care that i basically just laughed my ass off at him. and we both know that he would do the same to me if the situation were reversed. i know he would, so it's all good.

and Star Trek is clearly better anyway.

hehe.

Thanks for reading!
