we saw wall-e this past saturday, which was EXCELLENT, and made me think of a) the robot version of cute overload, or b) the feature film edition of the air song "how does it make you feel?" robot romance! it was WONDERFUL. i am going to BUY A COPY. i have never spent so long hyperventilating from The Cute in a movie theater...there wasn't any words in the first half hour, just little beeps and boops of robot noise.

then we catered/very aggressively hosted a house party in bedford view on saturday night. in a mansion. with a zen pond and fountain inset next to the kitchen. with a tennis court on the grounds. with a tiled pool. with a built-in oven thing for braai-ing next to said pool. with floor to ceiling windows. it was one of the moments where i think about my obsessive focus on new york/brooklyn and realize that i'm probably going to live in a tiny, poorly-lit, cluttered space for the rest of my life. is that enough motivation to look elsewhere? not really. still got that nytimes real estate page bookmarked!

hopefully going to hit up oriental plaza this saturday, buy cape town tickets at some point, and see the play "a touch of madness" at a very deep discount on sunday.
