My Life- The Movie Version

SETTING: office conference room. (Off screen) BOSS: "Make sure you bring enough copies of that calendar you made!" (A group shuffles into the room and gathers around a table. One chair remains empty). (Also off screen)* Note find way to portray these internal thoughts* EMPLOYEE: "Sheeeet, never made that calendar. I'll just take screenshots of the current online calendar and print out in all their pixelated glory" (EMPLOYEE enters conference room and sits) BOSS: Are these all the months of the year? (EMPLOYEE leaves again. Returns fifteen minutes later, more screenshots in hand) Boss: (pauses, squints at papers): "umm ...these look funny..." EMPLOYEE: (wide eyed, cocks head gives concerned look) hmmm (bewildered shrug) (Off screen the audience can hear sixty-five copies of the calendar being printed to the confusion of all around) Stage goes dark and scene. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ how did I get hired again??

There's been a dearth of posting over here because I'm too busy refreshing this awesome website I found busy like woah.
Using a specialized software program and cameras, Color Forecast analyzes the colors trending in Paris, Milan, and Anthwerp. Rather than guessing, magic, or constantly interviewing models, the way it works is this: cameras set up on the streets grab images and send them to a computer database. The computer's software divides the colors into groups and analyzes which are most prominent. Every fifteen minutes the site updates letting the Euro-wannabe know what colors they should be wearing. It's pretty cool- when I started this post the colors were pink, plum, and light gray; now they're rose, burnt orange, and hot pink.
