Freezing Time

Tonight a few of us holed up in Kona and watched movies. One of them was Cashback, the first feature from Sean Ellis, based on his short of the same name. The cast from the short reprised their roles. Ben, the protagonist narrates the story about an artist in university who reacts to his insomnia by working the night shift at Sainsbury’s, the characters he meets there and the events that follow. It’s also a story about love, loss, pranks, acceptance, introspection and plain being young. And freezing time. And lots of very naked women. In conclusion: awesome, one of the best films I’ve seen in a while.

Think Michel Gondry, Danny Boyle and Edgar Wright figuring out how to collaborate with no budget, Sean Ellis is solidly ticking off both boxes on his to do list. The Brøken, a horror film starring Lena Headey from 300 is his current project.

125 Miles, Lamb and a Hot Tub

Tina at Mile 62

Went on a longer ride with my riding buddy Tina. We set out to do 125 miles, and succeeded. Much better than last time. :)

Location and a Hot Tub

Caught a photo of my favorite piece of Marin real estate too. Not sure how they crammed the hot tub in there, but I’ll bet it results in only good times.

Cute

We also saw some delicious lamb:

Distance: 125.1 mi (201.3 km)
Time on bike: 8:33:10
Total time: 9:34

Woot!
