yesterday, max bought Katamari Damacy, a cute playstation2 game where, for some reason, all of the stars have disappeared, so the king of space sends his son the prince (you) to earth to gather junk which can be launched into space and exploded into replacement stars/constellations.

you start off with a sticky (i guess its got cosmic magnetism or something?) ball called a Katamari. when you're just beginning, you can only pick up small things, like nuts, candy and packs of gum (you can see he needed to build it up a little to even get the lipstick on there). if your Katamari is under 3 meters, i think, most people you run into will just make you bounce back and lose an object or two. A bigger ball and you can pick them up. Same goes for most cars with a 5 meter Katamari.


as you roll the ball around collecting more and more stuff, your Katamari gets bigger, and as it gets bigger (33 meters, 69 centimeters in this image), you'll start collecting larger objects (trees, buildings, and that looks like a hot air balloon at the bottom there)



yesterday, i bought Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which i declared upon seeing it opening night back in march to be my favorite movie ever. i still feel that way.
