hey hey! oh i’m having one of those lazy days where you don’t do much but that’s totally ok (right?) i seriously needed to chill it out - i just finished watching the most amazing movie called the diving bell and the butterfly (watch the trailer) which i had been meaning to watch for quite awhile now - it’s based on the book by former french elle magazine editor-in-chief jean-dominique bauby who at age 43 become paralyzed after having a massive stroke and was actually able to ‘write’ his book by blinking when the correct letter was reached by a ‘translator’ slowly repeating the alphabet over & over again (sadly mr. bauby died ten days after the publication of the book in 1997) it might sound a little on the depressing side but it was really uplifting - total triumph of the human spirit - plus the style of the award-winning film (directed by julian schnabel) was incredibly stunning and extremely well done - i can’t recommend it enough - i never have much time to read but after seeing the film i simply must read the book!

as for last night i caught up on desperate housewives by watching the two-hour season finale that had me on the edge of my seat - all the secrets concerning dana delany’s character ‘katherine’ came spilling out - i think she has been a great addition to wisteria lane - i hope she sticks around for the 5th season! the last few minutes of the show were totally unexpected - a flash forward sequence five years into the future - checking up on each of the ladies (’susan’ played by teri hatcher has a new man and it’s not ‘mike’…) except one character was oddly absent from the entire show - ‘edie’ played by nicolette sheridan - she better be back next season too! as for marcia cross who plays the ultimate perfectionist ‘bree’ was spotted yesterday leaving ken paves‘ salon sporting a completely new style which i’m not feeling at all - i much prefer her longer red straight locks - hopefully this look won’t be sticking around too long!

earlier today i was supposed to see indiana jones but the screening on the paramount lot was canceled so i’ll probably try and see it sometime this weekend - i need to see it now or i’ll miss it because next weekend is all about sex and the city! popbytes over & out for tonight…xxoo

PS i knew there was something fishy about ms. cross’ new hairdo - she was spotted earlier today out shopping w/ her hubby tom mahoney in brentwood - with her regular long red hair - way better - thank heavens her new style turned out to be just a wig - there’s plenty of pictures below displaying marcia’s hair back to how we like it!
