Only Ones Who Know

Someone at work the other day told me that I'm there to get people back into good moods. It's an activity I enjoy, but now I feel a sort of pressure to make sure I keep people smiling whenever they are in my vicinity. Sometimes I wonder if people know how to get me to smile. Steven does-he mentions Brad Pitt and puppies and I'm smiling like it's my birthday or something. With other people, there tend to be a few different ways to reach a smile:

1) Tell a joke. Usually bad.

2) Comment on someone's appearance in a positive way. Usually a new haircut or article or clothing.

3) Do something goofy. Usually a funny expression/face.

4) Use my feminine wiles. Usually just flirting if in the workplace. Also, only with males.


With these four tactics in my arsenal, who can get away from me still in a bad/sad mood?

Movie Clock Star

So I can finally stop saying that the last movie I saw in the theatre was Talladega Nights. I can't even remember when that was out, but since I already own it on DVD, I know it's been awhile.

I went after work today to see Knocked Up, which I absolutely loved. I had heard it was not a chick flick, but when the plot revolves around a woman who is preggers, it's hard to believe such a statement. It is definitely a movie for the masses, though. I was not deceived. Even the Miracle of Life moment at the end was kinda funny. I laughed so much that I forgot I wasn't just sitting in my den watching the movie alone. And not just at the obviously funny parts, but the parts that reminded me of other situations and inside jokes with other friends. So, I basically just laughed for two hours. Totally worth the $7. The "Pibb X-tra" was good, too;)

Which, BY THE WAY, how are matinees $7 these days? Totally reminded me why the last movie I saw was months ago...those evenings are expensive!
