Martin Gero is my Hero /

If you haven't seen this movie, SEE IT. I loved it loved it loved it. Great writing, great performances (from hot people -- a rare combination), lots of heart, lots of sexy (I know that doesn't make grammatical sense, but still), lots of laughs, beautifully shot. I was so impressed.

So see it!

The New Catbook Air (um...and the Catbook Not-So-Air) /

So. Yes. It's true. I took my credit card out of the freezer and bought my favorite computer of all time. I am madly in love with it (not in a creepy way. Well, maybe a little.) I know that not everyone is a big fan of the Air (MacBook, not Jordan) but it is WONDERFUL. I love it. It is perfect for me, because I write out of the house a lot and it is as light as...well, you can probably guess the rest.

Anyhoooo...the cats appear to like the velvety box it came in more than the computer itself (thank god. The last thing I need is an eighteen-pound cat sitting on a three-pound laptop. That wouldn't be a fair fight.)

So I thought I'd share these pics and confirm my status as a crazy cat lady...

An Update! /

Just a businessy one this time, I'm afraid...
