'catherine keener had a hairstylist on this movie?'

my favorite thing about los angeles is watching the temperature drop into the 60s and then standing back and watching the woolens materialize all over town. you would think a nor'easter was upon us from the knit caps and scarves and pea coats and pashminas and parkas. last night at the arclight, you would've thought you'd stumbled into an extras casting for "the day after tomorrow" if you didn't know better.

speaking of the arclight, we saw 'into the wild.' now there's somebody who was cold, ok? woot! color us surprised when we noticed that not only did vince vaughan have his own costumer for the film ('we must get this muscle t snugly on mr. vaughan, stat!'), but catherine keener had a hairstylist, and let me tell you they did not raise a brush within 15 feet of that rat's nest during production. jokes aside, if you get the urge to go live in the wild on your own, you may want to wait until it passes.

a few other thoughts:

* after taking yet another group of family members to a chinatown restaurant for 'real' chinese food, i'm starting to get the appeal of p.f. chang's (sorry about that, k & d!). things went downhill after the mister and i tucked into what we thought was turnip-wrapped beef cubes and realized it was actually beef-in-inch-think-sleeve-o'-fat cubes.

* the new contractor didn't come today because he was sick for "the first time in my xx years of contracting." mmmmm-hmmmmmm.

* if you feel like parting with $12, the peruvian drinking chocolate from whole foods is pretty much worth it, especially when you are having such a bad day that you snapped off a molar from teeth-grinding. the fried yucca from the whole foods hot bar, however, is best eaten fresh vs. heated up the next day.

* i don't want to jinx it, but looks like hawaii could be in my future. i can smell the coconuts, spam and bain de soleil already.

* i'm making a pumpkin pie tonight. 'cause i'm sweet.

* american apparel dog clothes are about more than just fashion and thrift -- they are about keeping your beloved four-legged children from freezing to death in this dreary 65 degree weather. i'm serious! this is bone-chilling cold we are dealing with here, people. in fact, i'm sure vince vaughan's costumer is running all over town right now dealing with it and small squirrels have nested in catherine keener's hair in an effort to stave off squirrel hypothermia.
