Imaginarium

I needed today. It has afforded relaxation and a momentary pause from the business of life (all of which is great, of course). After coffee with Kevin at Starbucks this morning, my dearest Emily and I made our way to SLO for some Linnaea's homework time followed by a dinner at Novo and a movie at the Palm. Oh, and one detail I left out: in between dinner and the movie, we stalked Justin Long and Drew Barrymore around SLO after a brief sighting. We tried to walk quickly to find them again, but they were sneaky and got away. It's to be expected. He's a Mac after all - and she was in E.T.

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus was a delightful mind trip. It was both visually stunning and fairytale-esque: like a cinematic hallucination complete with the late Heath Ledger, his showbiz friends, and the underpinnings of psychological surrealism... with a sprinkling of meth.

My favorite quote of the evening, though, was from dear Miss Forman:

"I used to have a fear of aliens. If E.T. were real, I would kick him!"

Good day. Thank you, Jesus. I'm sorry, E.T.
