Are you guilty of sheet-stealing? Sick of waking up to find the dog has somehow appropriated the duvet? Visit this: www.doubleupsforbeds.com. Awesome idea! I must make some.
World's Fastest Indian is an uplifting film. If you haven't already seen it, do. It's funny and unpretentious and warm. Exiting a film with a smile on your face is money well spent, particularly as the tickets were free! (thank you, radio). Tim Shadbolt's cameo was funny, and Anthony Hopkins made a most worthy attempt at the Kiwi accent, I thought.
I don't think I'll go and see Capote though. Having seen (or more importantly, heard) the trailer, I doubt if I could stand that voice for 2 hours on end. I could hardly work out what he was saying half the time.
We also had a look at the new skate park down by Frank Kitts. The big-scale photo exhibition is great, you should make a point of having a look at it. Amazing shots. The new development is nice, but I realised that I am getting conservative in my old age:
- The water feature is extensive, shallow, and unfenced. I can't help but think about a small child getting stuck in the gravel/grasses and drowning.
- The skate park is full of sharp-edged concrete and skaters without any safety gear. Is it much more expensive to make concrete edges a little more roundy? It could probably kill someone to strike one of those sharp edges with a fair amount of force.
I had a horrible night's sleep. Disjointed nightmares from end to end. However! Sok, Rachel and I somehow wound up attending a class in the lobby of MOMA in New York, and it had some amazing sculptures, so it wasn't all bad. But when I woke up this morning, my pj's were soaked from sweating all night. Tasty. There's nothing like waking up cold, clammy and smelly to start your Monday off right.
