Miranda July

Miranda July takes the role of Angelina Jolie in my circle of friends as the woman most likely to make other women leave their men.

So why is July so lonesome? No One Belongs Here More Than You really never hits any notes other than longing and so its been a bit of a slog to go through the never ending series of pretty, pithy and pathetic stories of unrequited love. Each one of these stories ranks up there in the better literature of the year but in general I have to say that I feel July needs to break out of her mold and try something new. Like inventing even cooler viral marketing campaigns.

Whiteboards aren't just for math

Miranda July is currently my favorite example of irreverent sensitive humor and her movie about almost, but not quite broken, people looking for love, Me and You and Everyone We Know might just be my favorite movie ever. She's just written a new book as is promoting it through the most unique website I've seen this year. Check it out.
