Wow, I'm (almost) speechless!
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes.
When I blow out the candles on the cake tonight, I'll be wishing for an overbearing 50-ish woman for a key role in my submission to ITOOFC-III.
Ever had trouble recruiting for such a role?
Me: "Say, you'd be perfect for a role in my movie..."
Her: "Thank you! Tell me more..."
Me: "Well, I need this horrible, overbearing 50-something woman..."
I suppose you can guess the rest. I'm sure the stitches will be out in a couple of weeks.
