Volvo Tires
Family Outing to Wall-E
Abalone Feast II
Walked with Christine on the morning Ilsa walk. I ran the loop. Then have been working on GYE stuff. Amazing how far what I did do two years ago is from what I thought I did. I have to rethink how to fill all the time because apparently there are two fewer hours than I thought.
I ordered a new point and shoot camera, the Canon 950 that Linus had, from Costco.com. I had to pay tax, but got a free memory card
At about 9:30 I took the Volvo the get new tires at Big O (it needed two) which cost a little over $100.
Robert arrived home at about 12:40 and the four of us went to see the 1:40 showing of Wall-E at Greenback.
Quite and odd and amazing movie. Didn't quite know what to think about it. But I liked it.
"The first 40 minutes or so of “Wall-E” — in which barely any dialogue is spoken, and almost no human figures appear on screen — is a cinematic poem of such wit and beauty that its darker implications may take a while to sink in. The scene is an intricately rendered city, bristling with skyscrapers but bereft of any inhabitants apart from a battered, industrious robot and his loyal cockroach sidekick. Hazy, dust-filtered sunlight illuminates a landscape of eerie, post-apocalyptic silence. This is a world without people, you might say without animation, though it teems with evidence of past life.
We’ve grown accustomed to expecting surprises from Pixar, but “Wall-E” surely breaks new ground. It gives us a G-rated, computer-generated cartoon vision of our own potential extinction." – A.O. Scott New York Times
Robert slept through much of the movie after a Magic card fest until 4 a.m. We all went to Starbuck's afterward and we have been cleaning the house since we got home.
Abalone Feed
Tom and Alan pound the steaks.
The perfect steak and the killer mallet.
The pounding continues.
A great steak.
Alan breads the steaks with Dixie Fry. He used to use italian breadcrumbs, but he likes this better.
Fry time.
For some reason this pan worked much better.
Alan frying the steaks to a golden brown.
All you can eat.
