Whoops! Sorry about the PM forgetfulness! I'll do better next time! As for resubmitting my answers, I think I'll pass. The Alien movies are some good ones, but I don't feel like doing the research. Too much crap going on at work that's keeping me late. I worked about 65 hours last week and I barely have time to check my e-mail except on Sunday and Monday when we're closed.
