On Saturday morning, Ellen and Hayley excitedly scurried out the door to a friend's birthday party.  They loved their time with the birthday girl and her/their friends at a theatre party room.  AND the opening weekend showing of WALL•E (they even brought home the free blue rubber, promo wristband watch which is only good until the battery dies ... with Ellen's already on decline, check back later for status report).

With regard to WALL•E, Ellen's favorite character was WALL•E.  Hayley loved both Eve and WALL•E (a Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class or do we really have a code name for ADAM, see The Little Robot That Could).  On the ride home we chatted about care for creation, recycling, and not laying around all day drinking while watching TV. 

P.S. I enjoyed reading Christianity today's The Little Robot That Could, an interview with Pixar's Andrew Stanton.  The piece explores Stanton's faith, creativity, the lonely little 'bot, and some of the concerns regarding the film's portrayal of humanity. If you have an extra 5 minutes or so, also check out the WALL•E Review on Christianity Today.  Not sure when I'll have the opportunity to see the WALL•E for myself, but I know that Theresa's already had enough WALL•E being repeated again and again. She sees a lot of comparisons with ET. True, but what about Short Circuit?
