would you recognize that perfume if were to happen to smell it again?

Can't remember the brand, but I would like to think so.....the relationship never went anywhere, we met over Christmas break and she went to a different college, it was nice while it lasted though....

Interesting tidbit, apparently the Georgetown admin wouldn't permit filming on the campus, so they had to go next door ...

And in so doing upgrade their act

God, those fleeting Christmas break relationships. Then I'd return to College Park and it was like..."Who??"

I know I would. Scent can be freakin' time travel.

For some reason I thought of this thread, and realized this one wasn't posted. Main theme for one the major "brat pack" movies, with quintessential "synth pop" sound that which defined the era in large part, and released smack middle in the decade.

I read somewhere once that this song was written as a theme song for the Olympics. It was about a man in motion and athletic competition. I was reconfigured for the movie.
