What was I here for?

Ugh, I can’t remember what I was here for. My calendar just says I’m supposed to be here to meet someone. I guess I’ll just wait over here with you. I don’t think I know anyone else here. Anyway, did you see that new film with what’s-his-face? He was in that other one with that hilarious guy–you know. Anyway, I’m pretty sure it will get an Oscar.
