You know that thing...

Like, in War and Peace (please, humor the geek in me) where Andrei and Natasha have just finished their first dance, and Andrei follows Natasha with his eyes, and he says to himself, if she looks back at me now, she will be my wife.

Do you ever do that? If/then mind games? If I skip every other stair on my way up, then... If I blink at each telephone pole that flashes past the car window, then...

Or is it just me and Andrei?

(I reallyreallyreally want to the see the 2007 mini series. Maybe by the time it's available in the States, I'll have recovered from Henry Fonda in the 1956 version. That was painful. [Henry: It's pronounced Ahndrey. Not Anndray. Ahn. Drey.]
