Anyone who has ever entertained (or been entertained by) Jude for any length of time knows that he prefers playing Cars to any other activity, save for maybe getting new cars. It can be good for a hoot for a few minutes, but you probably wouldn't be surprised to find that reenacting scenes from the movie with die-cast 55:1 scale cars gets a bit tiresome as the day wears on. This afternoon, aunt E has been doing a fine job keeping Jude occupied. To say that E has a bad memory would be an understatement, but considering she's missing a good chunk of her left hippocampus, she's adapted amazingly well. Always one to look on the bright side of things, it occurred to me that someone with even worse memory would be absolutely perfect at entertaining such single-minded kids. With the ability to reset by just leaving the room, I bet HM, rest his soul, would probably have happily played Cars all day long.

Cars is at the house in london and will be on its way to me in a care package next week. i hope to be able to talk with jude about our impressions of the movie, the subtle character nuances, the symbology, the pomo themes, etc. once i've seen it...
