raindrops keep falling on my head

I saw the movie 'Crash' last night with some friends and found it to be an interesting but not altogether fulfilling movie. It aimed high (a tableau of racism and individual storylines all intertwining when various characters crash into one another) but I found the overall feel of the movie to be a contrived, episodic, detached one; some of my friends enjoyed it though -- two of my friends (who had watched it previously) even called it their 'favorite movie, ever'.

Anyway -- if you get a chance, maybe you could see it and tell me what you think.

I got my visa today -- it appears to be an elaborate sticker affixed to one of the backpages of my passport. This is what I waited four hours for? Oh well, at least now I'm definitely allowed to enter the country. I wonder if Lucy got hers yet?


By the way -- how is everyone's job searches going? And has anyone read any good books or seen any good movies recently? Did anyone see Da Vinci code? Should I see it?

Oh and Francis -- in reference to your quote of Mitch Hedburg's riff on bananas (On a traffic light green means go and yellow means yield, but on a banana it's just the opposite. Green means hold on, yellow means go ahead, and red means where the fuck did you get that banana at ...)

I was at the supermarket today in the produce aisle and what should I encounter but these?
