random notes

i'm having a renewed love affair with the camera on my iphone, and i'd hoped to share with you some photos i've taken recently that are coolish, but my new macbook is not cooperating. in fact, moving from my old ibook to this new macbook was an arduous, time-wasting process and i'm pretty over apple at the moment. but not as over it as i am over microsoft office for mac. i don't know how you could make the 08 version of entourage more buggy than the 04 version, but, by gates, they've done it!

now for a list of random snippets:

* of course i saw 'sex and the city,' despite not really giving a hoot about it. turns out, i enjoyed it thoroughly, probably due to my incredibly low expectations, but still. it was by far the largest crowd i've seen at any movie theater in palm springs. since you couldn't experience it for yourself, let me set the stage: imagine 350 international mr. leather contestants and 25 trans-am-drivin' young ladies, all of them high on 48 oz. coca-colas and bitchy quips. now multiply that by 4000.

* i really want to see that horror movie 'the strangers' with liv tyler. does that make me weird?

* i've been on a crazy reading jaunt recently -- seems to be the only thing that stops my brain from pondering work-related stuff. i can recommend 'the tenth muse' by judith jones (julia child's cookbook editor writing about her life in food), 'sharp teeth by toby barlow (a novel about werewolves in l.a. that masquerade as stray dogs, written in verse, of all things), and 'the nine' by jeffrey toobin (inside history of the most recent iteration of the supreme court).
