Kitchenware? That's where I used to keep it!
Watching Clueless for the Nth time. I need to figure out a good Clueless drink.
Wonder how many times I've seen this film: at least three times in theatres, starting with a college-break trip to a suburban cinema with Arshad and Erica. And with how many people? Since then I've broken the times-I've-seen-the-same-movie-in-the-theatre record with Rivers and Tides, Th. Ridelsheimer's beautiful film about Andy Goldsworthy's sculpture (aka "The Movie That Saved the Roxie"), and then again with The Italian Job (the pants-dropping Marky Mark remake, not the Michael Caine original).
... but until TIJ appears on DVD (October 7th), I'll probably keep watching Cher climb into Christian's Nash convertible and delightedly say "I love him!" when he asks her "Do you like Billie Holiday?".
If iTunes, or tivo, or some software or appliance kept track of how often I watch movies, or scenes therein, I'd be a lot happier.
All of this technology, and it falls *just* short of doing what I want.
I spent way too much time over the past week trying to get my new phone (Nokia 3650) to talk to a wireless headset (Jabra FreeSpeech) and powerbook (via a D-Link USB adapter). The problem stemmed from the incompatibility in Bluetooth implementations in the Nokia device and the Jabra, but became irritating when Amazon refused to ship the revised Jabra to me, insisting that I RMA the unit from Jabra.
So much technology.
