Hmm—one of the few drawbacks to the tabbed browsing in the new version of Safari is that it's too easy to lose track of a window and accidentally close it, and thereby to (for example) lose a half-written journal entry.<\/p>\n
So I'll start over. Tonight, following Tim & Heather's lead, went to see Adaptation<\/cite> with Susan at that East Bay movie theatre where they serve you dinner (and alcohol) in the theatre. It's a very odd and very interesting movie. I liked it quite a lot, but didn't love it as much as some folks have. The multi-level self-referentiality is very nicely done. I'm astonished that this movie was written, and even more astonished that it got made; the idea is not exactly what one might call commercial. But I suppose Being John Malkovich<\/cite> gave Jonze and Kaufman the leverage they needed.<\/p>\n I was going to say this was Nicholas Cage's best work in years, but then I realized I hadn't seen anything of his since '97-'98, so I can't judge that. But he did a very good job. I totally didn't recognize Chris Cooper, though I liked him a lot as usual.<\/p>\n Afterward, we stopped by Tamara's party briefly, but there weren't many people we knew and we weren't in the mood for crowds anyway. But we did look through a way cool book of animal origami—step-by-step instructions on how to make origami Tyrannosaurus rex, frogs with toes, spiders, giraffes, etc.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hmm\u2014one of the few drawbacks to the tabbed browsing in the new version of Safari is that it’s too easy…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[44,43],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-movies","category-reviews"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1082"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1082\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
