The absolute BEST thing about working from home is the constant stream of old movies in the background. Thank God for TCM and Robert Osborne. I'm a self-professed dork so it should come as no surprise that my TV, when it is on, is tuned to TCM or The History Channel most of the time. I'm convinced that today is a special treat just for me: all day (grown-up) Shirley Temple movies. Yay! The windows are open to natural air conditioning, singing birds, wind chimes and gorgeous sunshine to boot. And there's not a soul around to bother me!Rounding out the relaxing work/ movie day with a little Mexican fare and Margaritas with close friends in Midtown tonight might make it the perfect day. I don't know a lot of people my age anymore who love old(er) movies and I certainly don't know any gals who love The History Channel and I don't really get it. I always have something to talk about - especially with guys. There isn't a fella alive who wants to listen to a girl talk about running errands or shopping and cooking or even work or their intuitive pet cat. Honestly, there's not. His interest in all that junk is only temporary and is relative to your attractiveness (Demetri Martin explains that here). But I have kept so many conversations going with "oh, yeah, I think I saw something about that on Modern Marvels!" Seriously. But keep the Shirley Temple talk on the DL...that's a gals-only topic.
