My little brother and I have a birthday tradition. Each year, we get each other presents that are completely random. Most recently, having turned 23, my brother posted me 2 DVD's that he found. He bought them for me because he thought the titles were amusing.
Last night my partner and I sat down and tucked into the first of these DVD's; Fruits basket. Hell, we thought, it surly can't be as bad as the novels he bought me from an earlier birthday, the 300lb gorilla was abysmal.
Anyway, it turns out that Fruits basket, although terribly cheesey, makes for good lighthearted mushy tv. It is obviously aimed at a younger audience than I am but it did take me back to when I thought shoes with multicoloured wedges were cool and when I actually did spend hours wondering if that certain boy in English actually did like me. As pay back for this delightful birthday gift I sent my brother a 'Cheeky Monkey poof chair' for his 21st. Happy belated 21st Bro!
