iLife in iMax

Last night i went and saw an iMax movie with an amazazing girl. Life seems more interesting when it's two hundred times bigger than it should be. So i wondered what my day would be like if it were in iMax.

The soundtrack would begin to the tune of a combination of boring gossip talk and the seldom oldies classic songs that fill up time in between rants and rave. The camera would then pan across my queen size bed capturing me hitting the snooze for just a little bit longer. Eventually I arise from my slumber and engage myself in a bowl of Smart Start, hoping one day that it will actually work. Maybe i should switch to Peanut Butter Crunch, as i heard so many good things. I then return to my room and prepare for the day. It's more work then you think. I have to make my hair look presentable and also remember the last time i wore this shirt and those pants. I eventually settle, grab my car keys, and head out the door, water in one hand, frozen din in the other.

Once outside, the camera has more room to captivate overhead helicopter angles of my car traversing through the traffic bound highway into the city. I arrive at my destination. The singular angle of my cubicle doesnt leave much to the imagination of the audience. The camera guy basically stands in one place all day, occasionally moving to follow me to the bathroom or breakroom.

Pointless hours go by of me working at my computer, and when the work day is near an end, there is a slight rise of action when we go outside to play hackey sack and talk about all funny stories from past weekend parties or the ten year older cougar so and so is dating. We all file back inside and slowly dwindle until the workday is over. Progressive rock music blairs on the soundtrack as i head back home.

I eat a dinner i didnt prepare and head down to my room. I slowly put on my black suit and cape and head down my secret passage to the cave i call home. I listen to the police scanners for my next adventure and head out into the dark knight to battle another villian. Eventually i make it home, rest for a few hours, and start the cycle on repeat. All in all, I dont think my movie would do too well in the theaters, however, it might draw some attention at Sundance.
