rise of the brain buzz

we just got back from watching rise of the planet of the apes, and it completely blew my mind. it's articulate, and elegant, and terrifyingly real. i feel like i haven't been sucked in to a movie like that since forever, even though i can already think of fantastic movies that have wow'ed me over the last couple of years.

when they get it right, they get it right.

i must have gotten to bed around 4am, and was out of the house by 10.45 to meet with wordsworth at the tel aviv harbour. i had to wait a bit, during which time i discovered ingenious graffiti. we had a very productive meeting - which began with flattery that i found rather touching - and i have two pages filled with things that need doing. i was going to do some of it tonight, but i reckon sleeping first is a safer option :P

i then met up with my kibbutz cousin and two of her kids; we went for lunch at max brenner and it was delicious. it was a very pleasant early afternoon, and our timing is great because the zoo biscuits i brought over for her son will have arrived on his birthday :)

i went straight to work after lunch, and it was an uninteresting day. the evening other-work session was fun, and i returned home just in time to drop off my bag so that we could go and see the movie. on the way, pg updated me about her day: her ex-boyfriend is such a complete asshole about the cash he owes her that i was dumbfounded when pg repeated a bit of their conversation. i'm not sure if it's my place or not to do so, but if he upsets her that much again i might just step in in spite of her instructions to the contrary.

now: sleep. another big day tomorrow.
