why.

dear los angeles:

i was just beginning to like you. now that it's the season where the air is clearer and there's snow on the mountains, i realize i like living where there's some topigraphical variety. and spending an evening in silverlake has allowed me to look forward to moving there someday; gabe and i agree that we've finally found a neighborhood we can both afford and enjoy living in.

there are many things i like about you now, L.A.

but you blew it today.

1 1/2 hours to go 6 miles? are you kidding me? the usual 45 minutes is bad enough. how do you expect me to have a life outside of my shitty job with commute times like that? just because some construction workers blocked off a lane for ONE BLOCK down in centruy city, there was gridlock 5 miles back? that's just not right. it makes me late for work on a day i can't stay late and that makes me lose money and that makes me like you a little less, L.A. you're like a foster parent that had a bad morning and now you've just set us back a month on the "getting comfortable with each other" trail.

*pouts*

i hate you, L.A.

just today, though. we'll try again another day.

to my movie whores:

i'm sad that "28 weeks later" turned up on this list. i kind of have a blind spot for it...i don't care if it's good or bad, i just love it.

everything else though, gets what it deserves. the blip on "juno" is a little harsh, but if i could take away all the other scathing reviews and keep this one, i would.

as for "300." well. i'm not saying it was the best film on the planet. but putting it in the worst feels like someone is threatened and overcompensating just a bit....

mini me!

this may be a fake leak, but here's a link to steve job's keynote speech for tomorrow.

the only thing i care about is the news that they are cutting the combo drive from the mini and putting the superdrive in ALL MODELS!!!! yay! one of my major roadblocks to getting my mini was the fact that only the more expensive models came with the superdrive. now i can get the more basic computer (i'm a basic needs girl)with the dvd burner for the bottom end price!!!!

- Mac mini gets slight speed bumps and double-layer SuperDrive in all models
- Base model 2.0GHz IC2D/1GB/100GB
- BTO Upgradeable to 2.4GHz IC2D/4GB/320GB
- Starting at $599

the fact that they upped the speed (all i wanted was 2GHz!!) is amazing too...as for storage, pffft. i gots me an external hard drive. i'd never fill both. thank you, steve!!!

mac on the horizon, mac on the horizon, mac on the horizon.....
