In very exciting news (for me), Holly Hunter will reunite with her The Piano director Jane Campion for a BBC/Sundance Channel miniseries called Top of the Lake, which will also costar Elisabeth Moss (!). The mini is set in the remote mountains of New Zealand and follows the disappearance of a five-months pregnant 12-year-old named Tui who was last seen standing chest-deep in a frozen lake. Investigating detective Robin Griffin (Moss) must lose herself in order to find the missing girl. During the investigation, she collides with Matt Mitcham (Peter Mullan), Tui’s father, a local drug lord, and G.J (Hunter), a guru at a local women’s camp. The case testes Robin’s limits and sends her on a journey of self-discovery. [via]

We’re having a boy! We’re so happy that Axel gets to have a brother so close in age. And that I get to add another set of balls to my very, very male world. We found out I was pregnant during my mom’s birthday weekend in Ojai. I was instantly so proud of this baby for already knowing how to make someone else’s special day all about him.

Last night I realized a dream of mine that’s been deferred since 1995: I finally saw Portishead in concert. I don’t think I was confident this day would ever come. They never played in Pittsburgh when I was addicted to them as a mopey teenager; their first two albums were released in 1994 and 1997, which was the last time they toured in the U.S. After an extended absence, they finally released a third album in 2008, but once again, they didn’t tour outside of a few festival appearances.

But then, seemingly out of the blue and unrelated to any kind of new material, they announced a small North American trek that brought them to the Greek Theatre in Berkeley last night. And I have to say, it was like going to church. I just sat in silent awe and reverence for the entire show. I won’t say much more than that, to spare the feelings of one of my few loyal readers (you know who you are, and it wasn’t the same without you!). The video above is my personal favorite moment from the show: a stripped-down version of “Wandering Star” featuring Beth Gibbons’ most haunting vocals of the evening. This video is by YouTube user mhc660, who recorded pretty much every song in HD. Click here to watch the rest of them on his YouTube channel.
