fantasy movie league

tonight, i did a fantasy movie league draft. absolutely hilarious concept. they have fantasy everything now. for example, cnn reported on a fantasy congress game earlier this week. i'd join but i dont know US politics. anyways, for the movie league you pick movies for the holiday season (tomorrow until january sometime) and you're scored based on total box office dollars, per theatre avg, weeks in the top 5, and imdb user review (how good the movie is). joe turned some heads when he selected dreamgirls number one overall.

my studio's picks:
Flushed Away
Deja Vu
Eragon
Zodiac
Freedom Writers
For Your Consideration

cant wait to see how they do - so please, go out and support these films! and yes, i realize how incredibly dorky this is. and no, i don't care.

wicked

went to go see WICKED with james tonight, it was absolutely incredible. i'd been wanting to see it for a while since sharon mentioned it last year and made me listen to the soundtrack, not to mention our own lip sync versions of defying gravity :D i'd even gone and downloaded a few performances with idina menzel and kristin chenoweth. but it was nothing like actually being there tonight and seeing it all live - shoshana bean was sensational as elphaba, but my real surprise was megan hilty as glinda, her voice soared unbelievably high and she was hilarious too. definitely recommended, watch it before it's gone!

bahaha

props to kk for finding this nugget. a commentary by chuck norris on all the chuck norris facts. best quote from the article:

If your soul needs healing, the prescription you need is not Chuck Norris' tears, it's Jesus' blood.

PRICELESS!

pop quiz hot shot

this was on wednesday - let's see how you'd handle it, consider it a little lesson in workplace etiquette. or maybe just basic manners.

part I:
your work is having a team function where the bosses are buying lunch for everyone. they've decided to go with swiss chalet, and rightly so. it's time to place your order. you go with the...
a) quarter chicken - safe, reliable, dont draw attention to yourself
b) half chicken - hey im a big boy i can eat my fair share
c) southern bbq special - not as greedy as the half chicken, but definitely flashy with the apple/pumpkin pie for dessert
d) salad please

part II:
your meal has come, you're eating away and you notice the director beside you isnt touching his chicken skin. you...
a) eat your skin anyways - who cares, its personal preference!
b) don't eat your skin - he's a director, better look good in front of him
c) kindly ask him if you can have his skin - no point in letting all that skin go to waste, mmmmm

part III:
foolishly you only asked for once sauce. the director hasn't touched his, neither have a few others in the room. you..
a) ration out your remaining sauce and live with dry chicken
b) kindly ask the others, "sauce me" - who cares what they think, you like your swiss sossy!
c) wait til lunch is over, then scrounge around in the garbage for leftover sauces - makes for a great afternoon snack

i went with the dry quarter chicken with skin - you live, you learn
