A 40th Birthday Gift

Look at the good I do...
After my interview yesterday, a coworker came up to ask if I would buy the 40th birthday stuff for another fun coworker who is on vacation. Her 40th was Thursday of last week, but she's not due back in the office until Monday.

I was very tired, but thought this was too good to pass up. So after work I bought the standard "Over the Hill" helium balloons, black streamers, a styrofoam tombstone, the hot flash thermometer, and other necessarily accoutrements for her office.

The end product was done last night and I'm proud of it. She'll not be able to get to her desk for a while on Monday as I've webbed up her office from back to front and covered the floor in black balloons. My only regret is that I'm in DC next week and wont see her face or feel her wrath. Good times...

Movies.. Movies.. Movies...

The last couple of nights, the Oxygen channel (yes, I'm gay) has been playing The Others, the Nicole Kidman supernatural thriller from 2001. I have always enjoyed this movie as the atmosphere and suspense were done so well that it sent chills without any gore whatsoever. Kidman is incredible and Fionnula Flanagan as the creepy Mrs. Mills should have been *at least* nominated for an Oscar.

As this is "Friday" for a lot of us, here's some questions to answer as I'm always on the lookout for movies to watch:

1. What is your favorite scary movie? Horror movie?
   
2. Your favorite comedy movie?
   
3. Action flick?
   
4. Romantic film?
   
5. Independent or quirky movie?
   
6. Guilty Pleasure?
   
7. The Movie You're Embarrassed to Admit You Like?
