I've just been so curious as to what other TV shows hardcore Office fans enjoy. For me, it's The Colbert Report, Arrested Development, Stella, Invader Zim, The Daily Show, My Hero, and Stargate SG-1. Of course, The Office is the my favorite. And I also seem to like a lot of things that get cancelled.

I need to populate my Blockbuster Online account before they start sending me *Armageddon* and *Deuce Bigelow* (neither of which is on my list, by the way), and I need some suggestions. I thought it would be interesting to have a place where we could recommend movies to each other (or recommend others to stay away from other movies, depending on what you've seen...). I know we have the Favorite Movies thread, but some movies are *good* but don't qualify for the Top 5 list. So, what have you seen recently? New in theathers or old on DVD (or VHS...whatever), doesn't matter. What was good, what was bad, what made you cry, what made you say, "That was horrible"? Last night we watched *The Matador* on DVD with Pierce Brosnan and Greg Kinnear (they were in the movie, not in my living room :-). I heard it was good, but it was better than I thought it would be. I love movies that combine genuine monents of seriousness with laugh-out-loud comedy, and this did that. They should make t-shirts out of some of the lines that came out of Pierce Brosnan's mouth. It's definitely not a movie suitable for watching with kids in the room (which I didn't, and I'm grateful for that). And I will totally admit to wanting to see *Snakes on a Plane*. Snakes are not on my list of phobias, and I am neutral about flying, and it looks like huge campy fun. Win win win.

**bwc** and I are the CPC this year. We also have a secret Committee member on our team, who will be filling in while **bwc**'s gone and maybe if I have to be gone, he'll fill in for me, too. So, we're kinda late this year. And the contest will run into September(!). And we don't have a cutesy name for the contest this year. If someone thinks of something awesome, let us know and we'll call it that. Unless it's just "Boobs: the 2010 Summer Contest." Well, actually, even if it was that, we'd probably call it that. So, any names? Suggest 'em. Ok. We're late and it's maybe a simpler version of the contest, but also maybe more interesting. Here's how it'll go. 8 weeks. 16 prompts. 8 weekly winners. 1 overall winner. **Schedule** Week 1 Mon, July 19 (4 prompts) Week 2 Mon, July 26 (vote) Week 3 Mon, August 2 (4 prompts) Week 4 Mon, August 9 (vote) Week 5 Mon, August 16 (4 prompts) Week 6 Mon, August 23 (vote) Week 7 Mon, August 30 (4 prompts) Week 8 Mon, Sept 6 (vote) Reveal Winners Mon, Sept 13 **Entries** Each Prompts Week you can respond to as of the prompts as you want (only 1 unedited response per prompt). You can just respond to 1, or respond to all 4. You can enter all 16 challenges, just one per week, or just one out of the entire contest. **Voting** You cannot vote for yourself. You automatically get one vote for each entry. You vote for your favorite response to each prompt, so you submit 4 votes each week. The winner for each week is the person with the most votes, regardless of how many prompts they respond to. The overall winner is the person with the greatest total number of votes. **Chatter** Chatter about the entries is allowed as soon as voting starts. It's been banned in the past, but this year, we want to keep the interest up and maybe make it easier for people to play. What's the worst that could happen? We're set to start Monday, but I only requested prompts today....I emailed 12 people for 12 prompts. The first 4 back will be the first week's prompts. *I gotta email 4 more, because I'm a moron.* Questions? Hope not. We'll see how Monday goes.

We're overwhelmingly a pretty positive bunch, but sometimes even the most Pollyanna of us need to vent about unpleasantness. One of the local radio stations here has a segment every Tuesday called...Tirade Tuesday. Listeners can call in and rant about things that get under their skin, and no one passes judgment (that's the best part). Some tirades are short and sweet ("I hate telemarketers") and some are complex, involved stories ("So I was in the store shopping for shoelaces..."). It's often funny and, I'm sure, cathartic ("the cathartic burning of the banana stand..." oops - wrong show) for the caller. So let's have our own tirade! Don't tirade against other posters, and try to keep it clean. I don't imagine most of the tirades will be about the show itself, which is why I labeled this post off-topic, but go where your heart takes you. I bet a lot of the tirades will involve work and office-related gripes, though, which makes it sort of on-topic (I bet there are even several show ideas in here somewhere). Non-work-related tirades are allowed (and welcome), though. Vent away!

For a while, I've been fascinated with the concept of getting older. It started a few months after I turned 30; I remember sitting at the bar at Chili's (I'm not making this up) with my husband, and on the TV news was a blurb about residents of a retirement home. They were doing exercises with these flowy ribbon things, gently swaying them to music, and I remember literally *crying* at the bar (sorry, **Daoust**) and saying, "Oh, my God, they look so *happy* about doing that, but it looks so sad. Is that all I have to look forward to?". My husband just ordered me another beer (and one for himself, because he looked alarmed at my reaction to the news) and let me ramble, thank God. But ever since then, I've been a little obsessed with getting older. I think part of it is because in my mind, I'm still 16 years old; part of me really thought I'd always be in my 20s, "young" by anyone's standards, and it's a real shock to know that's not the case. That being said, growing older is a good gig. For one, it means you're not dead. Plus, if you're lucky, you're wiser, and you feel less of a need to put on a show for people and less of a need to pretend to be someone you're not. Other good things about getting older: 1. Not having to watch MTV (which I've not done in years) and thinking, on the rare occasion that I do tune in and they actually play a video, that the music on there is crap, anyway, so I don't feel bad that I don't recognize any of it. 2. I don't feel at all bad about those nights when I feel like going to bed at 9 PM. 3. I don't drink cheap and disgusting wine anymore, because I know more about what's good and what's not. 4. I feel completely worthy to judge the antics of Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and their ever-changing posse. So, what else is good about getting older? Or what *don't* you like about getting older? Or what is a not-so-pleasant reminder that you *are* getting older? C'mon. Group hug. Let's share. We're *all* getting older. Let's make the best of it!
