just finished another read entitled
down with love. yes, there is a movie also called
down with love and yes it does star ewan mcgregor and renee zellweger, and yes, it is the book which was based from the motion picture
down with love.
thinking about it now, 'down with love' reading it or watching it - is good. period. a hearty read, the characters amuse with their antics and anecdotes. screenplay by eve ahlert and dennis drake, try reading the book. it is wildly entertaining.
and for you, here's a sneak peak into the book written by barbara novak:
down with love
down with love principle #1: women will never be happy until they are self-fulfilled
down with love principle #2: women will never be self-fulfilled until they attain equality and become independent as individuals by achieving equal participation in the workforce.
down with love principle #3: women should abstain from love, but not sex. you may give a man your body. but not your heart.
how to get the level 3 of the sex a la carte, from abstaining from sex and indulging in chocolate? here's how.
in week 1,
- abstain from all men. no exceptions, eliminate all men from your life. this inclues the milkman, the mailman, your mechanic, uncle louie, cousin george and even baby butch. i don't care if they're eight months old or eighty years old; they are all part of the conspiracy.
- turn down all dates. you are not to go out with any man for any reason, especially ones which could include a romantic situation. no breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee, neighborhood block parties, all check-ups with your male gynaecologist, or cochairing of a cub scout fund-raiser.
- if you are in love with a man, break up with him - immediately. if you are married, lock him out of the bedroom and make him sleep on the couch. no matter how much he begs or threatens, don't give in. once you have achieved maximum down with love control in level three, you may be able to resume a relationship with this person.
- abstain from all sex. of ANY kind. this includes coitus, oral sex, full-body massages, heavy petting, hugging, kissing, slow-dancing, and footsies. a sex fast will help eliminate the feeling that the pleasures experienced during the sex act are related to love.
- boycott all soap operas. if you must watch tv, hold out for the evening news or a good nature programme on animal mating habits. (note: how the word love never comes up.)
- throw out all your romance novels. better yet, burn them!
- buy a good sex manual and read it completely. don't be squeamish, remember no athelete goes to the olympics without doing his homework on the sport.
- do not say, think, or write the word love anywhere - not even on a greeting card to your mother. unless it's to say DOWN WITH LOVE.
haHA! so there. i'm not saying i'm a down with love girl, but i'm also not saying that i don't support the down with love system. hmm. go figure. anyway, it's a good read for a laugh or two but i don't intend to own the book tho. imagine if a guy sees the book in my home library!
