Movie privileges revoked.

The consensus seems to be that audio posts are nice but I shouldn't quit my day job. Excellent. I'll probably keep doing one a week just for fun as it seems to entertain people's cats.
Ask me what I did today. Nothing. I got up, watched T.V. and slept from two to five. I can't tell if I have a new cold or if it's the same one I've had for the last few weeks. All I know is that I'm making thee funky wheezing noises like a 90 year old pack a day smoker at a congested bingo hall.
I finally was able to watch my movies - Anchor Man and Dodgeball. I did not laugh once at Anchor Man. It was stupid, piggish and I just didn't get it. Dodgeball was also stupid but it made me laugh. Maybe I liked it better because it had a higher Ben Stiller ratio, whatever it was, skip Anchor Man and get drunk before you push play on Dodgeball.
In other news I'm off to see Sideways tonight. I really wanted to see Constantine but my movie choosing privileges have been revoked (see above).

Another day in cubicledom AKA my life as a Dilbert comic. I did this from my cellphone, how does the quality sound to you? Is anyone other than the lovely Mrs. Roboto enjoying the audio posts?

I picked up my brand new glasses this afternoon. The sales assistant took some time adjusting the little arms on my maroon Kate Spade specs until they fit nice and snug. They are uber cute if I do say so myself. She then slid across the fitting table the demure brown case that came with them. It was a boring little case, the kind where the glasses arms lay over the outside and you snap the cover down over them.
Disappointment must have shown on my face because she quickly said "We have other cases, if you'd prefer a different color or maybe a hard case instead?" She rolled her chair over to a huge drawer and slowly slid it open.
Inside was a virtual treasure trove of eyeglasses accessories. In an instant I was over the table and violently elbowing her out of the way. I wasn't about to let her pick and choose what I was going to get to see. I wanted to go through all of them myself. There were all sorts of shapes, sizes, colors all by different designers! It was like I had died and gone to Nordstroms. I settled on a hot pink patent leather clam shell case with a black lens cloth.
There's a method to my madness. I didn't choose pink because it's the new black, because we all know that brown is the new pink which was the new black and eventually black wil be the new black again and all will be well in the world. I chose this obnoxious color so when I'm wandering around the house blind as a near sighted bat I'll be able to find my glasses. Personally, my sonar doesn't work that well and the shrill screaming scares the cats. Plus I kind of like pink. But don't tell anyone.

For some reason whenever I sing it distresses my cats. Personally, I don�t think I sound that bad, but my cats beg to differ. Here�s part of a conversation we had this morning while I was getting dressed. Meowese translation is in italics.
Me: *Amado mio! Love me forever-
Trinity: Oh my God, are you hurt? You sound like you�re in pain.
Me: And let forever begin tonight!
Loki: What is that horrible noise?
Trinity: It�s mom, I think she hurt herself.
Me: Amado mio, when we�re together, I�m in a dream world of sweet delight!
Trinity: She�s having an seizure. I saw this show on animal planet where a dog called 911 when his owner was sick. We�re much smarter than dogs, I think we should do that.
Loki: She�s shaking her ass a lot, maybe she�s just in heat.
Trinity: That would explain a lot of her behavior lately.
Me: It was just a phrase that I heard in plays I was acting a part!
Loki: My ears hurt.
Trinity: Let�s go hide under the bed together.
Me: And now when I whisper � Uh, hey where did everyone go?
*Amado Mio � Pink Martini.

There�s only one improv long form class left before we perform our newly invented long form performance of The Big Brawl. There�s arguing, yelling, violence, fighting and hysterical improvisational acting. I�ll let you know the specifics on when we�re performing but I think it�s March 12th. Pencil it into your calendars.
After class last night we went to McMenamins for beers and food. We even had two improvisers visiting from New York who came down via the Seattle Improv Festival. It�s always fun drinking with improv people because it always turns into a battle of the wits. As usual, when there�s alcohol involved it starts out clean and then quickly goes downhill from there. When I was walking to my car my friend Brooke said �I�m usually intimidated by professional players from other cities but I totally wasn�t tonight.� This is coming from the girl who has partied twice with the cast of Whose Line is it Anyway when they�ve come to Portland. I felt kind of guilty because I didn�t even consider feeling intimidated. If we were all on stage I�m sure I would have, but I know I can hold my own when sitting in a bar, flipping coasters and making bad puns.
