I was midway starting to revise my fourth chapter of the day when hubby came home from work this afternoon and says, “Let’s go see Wall-E.” Considering he is not normally the one to suggest we go to the theater and the fact that my brain could use a break after revising three chapters, off we went. It is a mark of good writers and animators when I can feel the emotions of a robot — his wonder, his loneliness, his hope, his happiness. It’s a sweet story of a little robot who just wants someone to love, but there are also a couple of interesting observations about modern society expertly woven into this fictional, futuristic context. Hubby and I really enjoyed the movie, as we have every Pixar film.
I just finished revising that fourth chapter for today. Good thing because I’m getting tired, and that doesn’t make for maximum productivity.

Ooh, good to hear another positive vote for Wall-E. The kids have seen the ads and really want to see this one. Pixar tends to do an amazing job with its releases…
Hooray on finishing some revisions, Trish!

I didn’t even hear of this movie until it was on the news that it was the number one movie at the box office during the weekend. I’ve seen clips and the movie looks awesome.

I loved this movie, too! And the robots don’t even talk. That’s amazing to me that they managed to make us care about robots who can’t even talk. Pixar films are great!
Good job on finished your revisions, Trish.
