How to watch The Notebook
It made me
affected 
"I wanted to hate this, but I watched it twice in a row."
How I did it: I resisted watching it for the longest time, because I'm not really into sappy movies.
Man, was I wrong. This was much more than just a chick flick.
I really loved the art direction and costumes.
Yes, Ryan Gosling's hot, and I really dig a few of his other movies.
It was on cable back around Christmas.
I watched it back-to-back, on a work night, until 4 in the morning, and cried both times.
My grandmother is currently in the throes of Alzheimer's, so watching this, and a particular scene especially, tore me apart.
It's a really poignant and lovely movie.
Lessons & tips: Just give it a chance.
