please stand by

We at love lettuce are experiencing technical difficulties. While the narcoleptic iBook pays a visit to the land of Brighton, Mass., please use the extra time in your days to do some actual work. Or perhaps write a letter to your state representative, high-school band teacher, or French foreign-exchange host family. Or maybe you could figure out what Bill Murray and Scarlette Johansson whisper to each other in the final scene of Lost in Translation. And if you haven't seen that film yet, get thee to the rental store post haste.

We'll be back as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
