six degrees
back when i was one of the candy packaging grunts, we would play the 6 degrees game. one person would name two random celebrities and then everyone would try to be the first person to find the movie chain.
and i loved it.
because i'm a huge movie geek.
and also somewhat of a movie snob.
not in a film criticky kind of way, but in a "you've never seen 'pillow talk'?? what kind of a byu co-ed are you?" kind of way.
but i degress.
the 6 degrees game used to make time go by so much faster. what? we have to package 32 cases of orange slices? no problem... someone name two celebrities.
but now i work in the office with all the grown ups.
and time goes by much, much slower.
much slower.
so i try to play the game by myself.

who was in "guarding tess" with shirley maclaine.
who was in "mrs. winterbourne" with brendon fraser.

and yet i don't win, because there aren't any grunts playing with me.
