ROTFLMAOBBQASAP

So one of my co-workers ("Neil") starts sending around emails last week about how it's another co-worker's ("Tim") birthday on Friday (today).
And he says "Let's do it up all girly with pink streamers and unicorns and stuff."
So last night, one of my other co-workers ("Cecilia") stays late and gift wraps his entire desk, chair, stapler, monitor, etc. and puts a little birthday tiara on his monitor.
For today, we planned to go and get a cake. All is set.
So this morning, when Tim shows up, looks at this extravaganza with his mouth wide open, and says:
"But....My birthday's in July!"

Justice

My good friend Wax from IndieFlavor asked me to do the part of a newscaster in his upcoming film, JUSTICE.

We actually recorded this on the streets
of Brooklyn, to give it a "reporter on the street" feel. A good time was had by all.

Also recording with me as another reporter was fellow actor-type Laura Lockwood.

On Wednesday of this week, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.

That will not happen again for a thousand years.


Well, for those of us in America, we can see this nifty phenom at 1 PM as well, but the Euro-type folks will see it as 13:02, so nyah on them.
On the other hand, they will actually need to wait until May 4th, as they read their dates "day/month/year." so double nyah on them.
