Maggie, Wende, and I are at Cafe Adobe munching lunch before we go see Whipped, starring the lovely Amanda Peet.

A cool thing is a water fountain outside. It's got normal upward sprayers in the middle and then very pure pristine angled in squirters around the perimeter. The angled in ones are pretty cool, but I must say the ones in Chicago were way more precise and perfect.

These are certainly nice, and these are now doing a weird dance wobbly water thing (not by changing the angle but by changing the pressure).

Maggie is describing how she was stuck in Chicago for an extra day for a work related project thing. She has the sense that she was held over for a day so that she could tell a man that he was a good person. See, she saw this guy on the last dayshe was supposed to be there and had a feeling that she was supposed to tell him, "you're a good person." She couldn't get the nerve to do it, and was held up a day. The next day she saw the man again and felt the feeling even more strongly. She never did speak to him.

Now as she describes the story, she's saying she wishes she had told him.

Now Maggie says, "Rob loves his keyboard."

This is true.

Heather is our waitress. She looks like the girl from Chasing Amy who looks like Rene Zelwegger (sp). 1:01 pm

I'm in the screening room now of the theater. The girls are peeing (in separate restrooms). There's only about a few hundred seats in this room; it looks like Whipped is not going to be shown very long. They're not expecting big crowds.

Sigh. poor oh-so-cute Amanda Peet.

Oh my gosh guess what!! Dude's friend Maz *knows* the guys who wrote and directed Whipped and one of them is boyfriend of Amanda Peet! That's how they got her in the film, and that means that I'm I'm only 4 steps away from Amanda Peet!!! Wow! And really I have met Maz and he's cool and would pretty much remember me, so I'm only three steps away from Amanda Peet. Wow!

The first trailer was for UnbreakableK/em>. I was all, "Wende watch this!!" I didn't blink through the entire trailer; I love it!

Trailer for Buying The Cow looks pretty funny to Wende, and probably to me.

So we saw Whipped. Very funny film once I got past how chauvanistic these characters are. Their languge is gutter terrible, but I don't mind it at all. I don't have as big of a crush on Amanda Peet anymore; her character was a lot more cute in The Whole Nine Yards.

Here are two funny lines that I wrote during the film:

"First of all it's jujitsu, faggot."

"It's okay; being gay is kinda hip now."

After the movie, we ate at Maggie Moo's, a small ice cream shop like Marble Slab or Amy's. Maggie Moo's has a Thelma or Louise looking cow character as their mascot.

See ya.
