Happy Barista / Uber Driver KIMBA was super energized about her DING! idea and couldn’t wait for the samples to arrive.
Not so fast, Amiga! A Setback?
Having her a “SACKBOY” moment, she had to adapt. But how? Let’s Listen in… —The Gang
Let us begin, shall we ??
And so it was that Happy Barista / Uber Driver KIMBA was super energized about her idea… eager to share it with her Westside pal, former Suit KATIE.
As she was driving around town, she saw the places she had identified as… Well… Let’s pick up the story so you can see/hear for yourself.
FADE IN:
INT. KIMBA’S APARTMENT
Kimba returned from her WESTSIDE WALKABOUT full of energy. She wakes up her computer to check her email.
Then… the mood changes.
KIMBA
Huh? Really?
She does some clicking, while still standing, and then sits down to read.
KIMBA
Ah… A different sport entirely. Mock-up res turned to artwork is NOT suitable for… production.
Kimba stands up and paces a bit. Then she leaves the room for a brief bit, returning with a warm beverage. This time, there’s a smile on her face.
KIMBA
Having a SACKBOY moment…
Joyfully determined…
She laughs.
KIMBA
Always loved how in LITTLE BIG PLANET, the dude was so joyfully determined… He’d run into trouble and then… There he was, popping back up on the run again.
Looks like I need to channel my inner SACKBOY…
KIMBA
Looks like I need to channel my inner SACKBOY… settle in and rethink this… Hi-Res, huh ? Let’s figure this out…
Putting on some motivating tunes, she goes to work to re-invent her idea.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. KIMBA’S APARTMENT
A short while later, she’s standing looking at her printout.
KIMBA
Well… Slightly different than I imagined. I really wanted to give a shout-out to all her GUYS… but maybe…
The EVERYONE edition…
“Her GUYS” refers to the lower border of Kimba’s creation. The original artwork showed: RC, MR SQUEEK, KEE-RA along with a universal JOURNAL WRITING person (intended to be insert yourself here).
KIMBA
Crawl. Walk. Run. That’s how it goes right? So let’s test with the SIMPLE edition, which I hope meets the spec now. Glad STICKERMULE has that sample deal. Should be enough to…
FADE OUT.
Meanwhile…
Over-the-hill, another pal of Katie’s, Happy Puppy KEE-RA is stirring about restlessly. Seems his human, MEREDITH has got herself DERAILED again…
FADE IN:
INT. MEREDITH’S PLACE
KEE-RA’s Human, MEREDITH is looking at her computer screen that is cluttered with … many [MANY!] open windows.
Notifications are pinging. Upper right corner on screen and from her phone.
Kee-Ra, hears the pings and bounds into the room.
KEE-RA
Mama… You ready, Mama?
Kee-Ra’s ready…
She’s frowning at her screen, with a glance at the clock.
MEREDITH
Already…? So. NOT. Ready.
Her eyes land on her KINDLE.
MEREDITH
Okay, buddy… I DID download it and…
She opens up yet another window on her computer.
MEREDITH
See! It’s playing on the big screen too! The desktop KINDLE app.
KEE-RA
Yes… and…?
MEREDITH
Not feeling it… besides ZOOM? I think…
KEE-RA
Oh… I get it… ZOOM automatically messes with you… like a STRESSED SYNDROME of sorts.
He stops circling and pacing.
KEE-RA
Here’s my suggestion… Grab that SATCHEL-PAK, with THE POUCH Katie gave you. Throw in that cute KINDLE and… let’s VENTURE OUT.
His nose motions towards the door.
Satchel-Pak: Kicking Back…
MEREDITH
Walk… The ‘Hood or…?
KEE-RA
Originally, I was thinking… keeping it local, but… upon further review, a MOCHA CHAI might…
MEREDITH
Ah… a JEDEMI CHAI!
Hot Bev is the Best!!
KEE-RA
We’ll walk after… just not on the TRAIL. We can admire the lights in town and…
MEREDITH
Take my brain off this…
She points to the computer and is dragging her mouse pointer to the upper left to activate SLEEP mode.
SHUT IT DOWN, Mama. Let’s it go for today. Let’s PLAY and maybe…
Kee-Ra aggressively nudges her chair.
KEE-RA
SHUT IT DOWN, Mama. Let’s it go for today. Let’s PLAY and maybe…
He starts dancing around while he talks.
KEE-RA
We can hit… ANDALE… It’s been a while… and you know… the GRILL smell… YUM…!!
Meredith looks over at Kee-Ra and smiles.
MEREDITH
Buddy… You’re on…!
But…
Kee-Ra take off… bounding towards the front door when his ears sense…
KEE-RA
But what Mama?
MEREDITH
Your help, I need as… TOFU TACOs or Classic CHICKEN ‘RITO or … maybe… FISH TACOs…? Too many…
KEE-RA
Choices… Gotcha! We’ll figure it out AFTER the CHAI…
He takes off again and then turns around to motion for her to follow.
KEE-RA
Yosh! Yosh! Mama! Yosh!
Let’s Go!
FADE OUT.
And so it came that… both these ladies encountered challenges… For Meredith — Time is NOT always on her side. Lucky for her, Kee-Ra is.
For Kimba, channeling her inner SACKBOY show resiliency and determination AND an ability to FLEX-N-FLO!
Beer coaster & reminder…
Both embraced (or at least are learning to) INCREMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS… a step at at time. Which is BUENIFUL!!
That’s a Wrap!
A WRAP with and EXIT SONG:
