Anyone who knows me in person, knows that I make a big deal out of my birthday. I suspect some people think I make a big deal out of my birthday to extract presents out of people, but that’s not the purpose. I just like it being my day.
That said, look at the very cool present my friend Kelly got me! It’s a poster of 100 Essential Films, but it’s also a scratch off chart!
Look how shiny it is!
And here’s what’s cool. When the image is scratched off, it morphs into something else. Take the tea cup that is a big part of the film Get Out.
When scratched, it reveals the fact of Daniel Kaluuya. So fun!
I have already seen 66 of 100 films. My plan is to watch a film on the list I haven’t seen, and scratch that one, plus two I’ve already seen. I look forward to working my way through this list.
Kelly also always writes a birthday haiku. I found this one to be particularly sweet.
Thanks Kelly!
Dang. I just lost my comment.
Your blog doesn’t like me sometimes.
Moop!
This is such a fun gift!!! I love that what you scratch is different than the image behind it. I can’t wait to see how the rest of the watching goes!!
I looooovvveeee that poster! What a great idea!
There’s also a scratch-off novel poster, if you want to start a project of your own.
