It's more than just a VHS.

Jamie: Thank you for missing me.
Nina: I have. I do... I did.

  Oh, how I longed for you, Truly, Madly, Deeply.

  When deciding which format to purchase, I ultimately opted for VHS; it's how I rented it when I was a teen. After my first time through, I had to get out of bed, press rewind, wait a good minute, and press play to replay the singing scene -- because, you know, that's how a VHS player operates. I watched the duet as I danced on the bed, continuously, all week, until I regretfully returned the movie.

  Each time I see this tape showcased on my mantle, I'll be reminded to continue falling passionately in love with all types of art -- including the pieces I've seen or heard already. Maybe one will provoke me to dance on the bed as my teenage-self once did.
