Polly Wants to Be a Star

Other than the usual hobbies that most people share like watching Sponge Bob with my grandmother, I have a hobby that sets me apart, I think. When I get off work at the stone quarry I like to use my pets to stage classic movie scenes and then film them to make little movies. For example, I ended up with an Amazon parrot named Mr. Filbert from when I worked at a university. (They were doing hand-rearing experiments and I was allowed to keep one of the parrots when they were done.) I trained Mr. Filbert to scream out “Stella!” and breakdown a little door that I made from Popsicle sticks. I also spent several weeks getting my white short hair cat to dance around like Tom Cruise in Risky Business. I am currently working on a hamster version of The Terminator scene where Arnold says “I’ll be back” complete with a voice over from my parrot. (Please don’t report me for animal cruelty. They really enjoy the attention, I swear.)
