head bath

so - the wednesday night movie was great. we watched paul, and decided that the list has got it completely wrong. our list would have the following movies on it, but in a different order based on criteria no less arbitrary:

• the fifth element
• frequently asked questions about time travel
• spaceballs
• paul
• galaxy quest
• back to the future
• dark star
• mars attacks
• idiocracy
• inner space

so there.

and then we came home and i had to help my mother with laptop problems. somehow, her wifi adapter and its virtual counterpart had been renamed to match the network she was supposed to connect to, with hilarious results. or not so hilarious.

there are two reasons i'm a bit off facebook / google+ right now, in addition to my being on holiday. firstly, in light of all the political upheaval the regular "me me me" posts just don't seem that interesting. secondly, well, i get the feeling that all the "me me me" posts really are just that, even mine, and i've just realized after years of addiction that all the haters are probably right: the benefits simply aren't worth the rubbish.

today began a bit late. pg and i did some quick, and somewhat incoherent shopping (my fault), and then we went to town with cuz - it was nice to catch him on such short notice and with such a small time window. we then headed off to the company gardens, where aside from being treated to busy squirrels (including an albino!) we were also treated to the absolutely incredible tretchikoff exhibit at the national gallery.

we had lunch at posticino's in greenmarket square, which is not the same as the sea point branch at all. and it was as chilly in the breezy shade as it was hot in the sunshine. then our two hours' parking were up, so we came home.
