jamie chose this color. she slept over -- so did ilana, but ilana's already back working hard at the seed. we watched pi by one of my emerging-favorite-filmmakers darren aronofsky. it's not that his pictures particularly have moved me -- he doesn't seem to care about having the audience identify w/ the characters -- but he has a unique vision and a talent for creating scenes that stick w/ you. the genius is in the details: like the sounds in the background, for instance. i hope he doesn't end up like tim burton, who began bright and became a sell-out once he got money.

last nite we paid a surprise visit to becca and laid waste to her pantry. that was after fro yo at always-spooky kentlands, a suburbs-in-their-purest-form neighborhood reminiscent of the one created for jim carrey in truman show. it's an experiment in closeted living. they have a school there, and a church and a mall (complete w/ 50's diner and movie theater) and a couple hundred expensive houses. "new urbanism" -- an attempt to create a microcosm in which cars aren't necessary and crime is seen on television, not in the streets.

not that my own unicorn lane is so much better. (really. that's the name of my street.) what on earth could be expected of me having grown up on unicorn (or as becca once miswrote it, "chicorn") lane?
