auto boulot dodo - left coast

hiking in the santa monica mountains yesterday w/ nicki, matt and robin - fun but hard, also the unending conversation about a movie involving a native american dead warrior cheif's wife carrying her twin babies long distances through mountains, the twin babies having different fathers - one the husbands and the other the kindly white man. Then the epic sibling rivalry where the native american one becomes an outcast of the tribe etc. Matt was defending the (ridiculous) position that this movie would be a classic hollywood epic not a terrible cliche. Also Walrus economics - somehow talk of a saddlepoint triggered a brain dump on my part about Walraisian equilibrium and the Laws of Welfare Economics. Ya know Pareto efficiency and competitive market allocations etc. While Walraisian equilibrium have nothing whatsoever to do with Walruses somehow a theory of walrus economics now needs to be developed by me so Robin and I can illustrate it in our (far superior and more interesting) movie about 2 lesbians and 3 gay men raising a baby on a spaceship. I don't know - which movie would you rather see????? I think perhaps the sun got to us a little.

Then we got sausages, corn and applesauce at Gelsons (which is super close to my house but I never knew existed before - also is ridiculously nice) and I ate a lot of sausage - we were drinking some beer too. Yum - funny how doing a lot of physical activity makes you really hungry.

also some pics from my b-day party:
