Free on Tubi until the end of the month.
A bare indie film from 1998 starring young Toni Colette and a restrained, but peRfEcT Parker Posey - about four girls temping in an office, who find their budding dynamic disrupted by the appearance of an anonymous office thief !
Anyway, I weirdly love it. It’s stranger than it should be allowed to be - and funnier - a good comfort watch.
None of us really spend our time in bland corporate office environments anymore, so it's funny and a bit deranged to remember back to when 9-5 was the premiere terror of all creative independent minds.

* Tiny Furniture (2010), dir. Lena Dunham — Girls before Girls!!!
“After graduating from film school, Aura (Lena Dunham) returns to New York to live with her photographer mother, Siri (Laurie Simmons), and her sister, Nadine (Grace Dunham), who has just finished high school. Aura is directionless and wonders where to go next in her career and her life. She takes a job in a restaurant and tries unsuccessfully to develop relationships with men, including Keith (David Call), a chef where she works, and cult Internet star Jed (Alex Karpovsky).”
* Young Adult (2011), dir. Diablo Cody — one of my favorites…
“Mavis Gary (Charlize Theron) is a successful writer of teen literature who returns to her hometown with a dual mission: to relive her glory days and steal away her now-married high-school sweetheart (Patrick Wilson). However, her mission does not go exactly to plan, and she finds her homecoming more problematic than she expected. Instead, Mavis forms an unusual bond with a former classmate (Patton Oswalt), who has also found it difficult to move past high school.”
* Frances Ha (2012), dir. Noah Baumbach — the dinner party scene especially is so real
“A story that follows a New York woman, who doesn't really have an apartment. She apprentices for a dance company although she's not really a dancer, and throws herself headlong into her dreams.”

there's a little stray kitty cat that i've been seeing around my house so i put some food out for it and the next day it was gone. today i saw the cat as i got home so i got more food and went outside and the cat was across the street. i shook the food in the bag and it heard it and turned around. i put the food out and went back inside and as soon as i was inside the cat came running over for the food. it was hungry! i tried to come outside for a pet but the cat started to run away so i stayed inside so it could eat in peace. i hope someday i can pet it
