Do you sometimes wish life was a montage? I do. Well, parts at least. I watch movies and see these romantic montages where emo music plays and the character gets through difficult things, like studying, working, cleaning a house, etc. And by romantic, I mean "marked by the imaginative or emotional appeal of what is heroic, adventurous, remote, mysterious, or idealized".
Because, in a montage, while you may be arduously studying or cleaning up a house or disaster, the arduousness only lasts a few minutes. All the while sound-tracked by a really good song.
Yes, some moments of life I wish were a montage. Like right now. I'm sitting in the library again for another late night of studying. But that's ok, I'm actually kind of enjoying myself wrapped in my little, isolated carrel listening to Brandi Carlisle.

I don't think you could glamorize laundry (what I'm suppose to be doing now) even in a montage. But I agree with you. Good music, only last a few minutes....ahhh that would be nice!
I think when we are old we will be able to look back on life at all of the hard/mundane times, and all we have learned, and it probably will be just like a montage. Besides, my memory is patchy enough, sometimes the last week looks like more like montage, just w/o the glamor and perfect hair. For now I say just turn on your iPod, crank them tunes, and pretend :) I can make you a playlist called, "It's Mae's Life" if you would like.
