disguise the fact you're eating cake

Movies
Julie Delpy and Adam Goldberg interest me, so I was excited to see 2 Days in Paris. I really, really liked this movie. The two had great chemistry. It was fun to watch.

If The Hunting Party is on HBO or one of the other many pay-cable outfits, I suggest watching it, but don’t rent it. It was kinda stylish, which I like. The story was so-so. Terrence Howard should be a bigger star than he is currently.

Robert Downey Jr. is in Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus, so I watched it. Actually I fast forwarded it, which was okay because there’s a lot of acting without words in this one. It’s an odd movie. I didn’t learn much about Diane Arbus, but I liked the concept of the whole thing.

Books
I usually do not read “chick lit” but for some reason I bought Something Borrowed . I couldn’t put this thing down. I spent an entire Saturday reading and finishing it and then on Sunday I went and bought the sequel, Something Blue, and finished it Monday. I couldn’t stop myself.

TV
Oh how I love BRAVO. The best shows are on that damn channel. Top Chef started its new season and I am so happy.


Music
I love this song: Every second counts . I don’t remember ever seeing this listed in the movie section. Did it not come to the theaters in America? I wanna see it.

Internets
I can totally relate to this story.
Is it wrong to be 35 and still have a crush on this guy?
I love cake.

Never Go with a Hippie to a Second Location

Books
I’ve read a couple books by Kate Atkinson. This new one, One Good Turn , continues a character from another novel, Jackson Brodie. I like this character. He’s an ex Magnum P.I. The story is an intelligent mystery/thriller with interesting characters. This is the third book in a row that I’ve read that takes place in the United Kingdom. I’m done with the Brits for a bit. I just bought an armload of books from Borders and it’s safe to say none have a cockney accent.

TV
American Idol seduces me every time with the goddamn auditions and then I can’t stop watching. UGH! My dirty little secrets. I LOVE the Danny Dude this year! He’s flippin’ hilarious.

Movies
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is one of the longest and most boring movies I have ever seen. Brad Pitt looked like a vampire. There was some cool camera stuff, but my God, edit, please.

And completely opposite of the Jesse James movie - one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time was The King of Kong. You can’t make up stuff this good.

Music
Love this song: Taper Jean Girl .
