What an amazing movie!

We went to see Where the Wild Things Are and found it utterly divine.* And maybe Divine is a useful way to look at this violent and painful fantasy that is so bound in love that it bursts. ( SPOILERS )

Perhaps the most succinct way of describing this film is to say it sits on the tipping point of the discovery of compassion.

* OK, except for "All is Love" from Karen O and the Kids. That, not so much divine. On the other hand, i was mumbling-singing "Hideaway" on the way home, and have since bought the track.

Notes from Caturday Morning

We don't have anything particular on our calendars today, so i think i'm already participating in the time change.

After time poking at the computer while in bed, we got up and Christine made breakfast while i cued up a half hour of video podcasts. Frederator, an animation podcast, contains far less animation than it used to. We pad out the half hour with a craft vlog and arts vlogs, but i think i need to find a better animation vlog.

We watched a GIS lecture from iTunes U that was painfully ... raw, a screen cast of how to complete a homework assignment using ESRI ArcMap. There are a number of other GIS lectures in the iTunes U catalog so we'll audit those over time.

I went on to listen to a recorded work presentation and crocheted a ring for Christine as a test of the concept. Eventually i'll get a photo and post to flickr and ravelry.

I'm now baking my veat for the week: Walnut Oatmeal Quinoa Veatloaf ( Ingredients )

It's finally cleared. The morning marine layer took forever to burn off.

With the vearloaf baking, what do i get to eat *now*?
