MoviePrunes: the name

This past Friday, the two of us went out with a rather unusual mission. We found ourselves in Murray Hill surrounded by many drunk overaged frat boys. In order to facilitate the awkwardness of the evening, we stopped in a bar for a round of drinks. Given the nature of that evening's task along with the fact that we had just seen the movie He's Just Not That Into You we soon found ourselves engrossed in a conversation about our aging bodies.

Flash back to a couple of weeks ago. The two of us went to see Gran Torino on the UWS. As a way to kill time before the movie started, we detoured into a grocery store in search of same fruit rollups. Walking past the produce section, we found ourselves engaged in a discussion on each other's favorite fruits. Right before the movie began, Peach went to the bathroom and had an accidental run in with two old ladies, presumably Jewish, talking about their favorite fruits. We mutually agreed that our favorite fruit of all is the one of the loins. They preferred grapes.

It was on the night that we saw Gran Torino (movieprunes gives YUM YUM two downward facing THUMB THUMBS, FRU rating coming shortly) that we realized our weekly movie excursions were more characteristic of two old Jewish women. It wasn't until our conversation about our aging bodies that we came up with the name MoviePrunes. The purpose of our blog is entirely self-serving. No one will listen to Flo about how much she dislikes Benjamin Button at the office and Peach could always use another outlet for her superficial side. So we're writing this blog for our own entertainment with the vague hope that we'll score some free tickets or perhaps even an entry to a premier. At current, we rely on Peach's student discounts for cheaper tickets. And in case you're confused, we're actually two 23 year old women with pathetic pseudonyms that happen to be Jewish.

This whole entry suffers from performance anxiety.
