We ended up eating over at awash anyhow which I regret not at all. Then watched the lego movie, which, just as I'd heard, was actually surprisingly funny and even poignant near the end. And it wasn't even a simple moral of "following instructions and coloring inside the lines bad, free-wheeling creativity good" (which would have been just fine) but an even subtler message that left room for both planning/directions-following and spontaneity. The visuals were just great, sweeping brickly vistas of canyons, and cute water effects, and smudgy, scratchy closeups of the plastic itself. There were a couple of goofy-as-fuck Michel Gondry-esque moments with sound effects blatantly coming from human mouths that I really enojyed. (8/10)

K was going to do a thing for her dad's birthday, but scheduling kept slipping and slipping so I guess we're going to try doing it tomorrow instead.

Had a pleasant lunch with paul and gabe back from working-at-facebook times. Discussed the important issues of the day, by which I mean video games…
