But the director revealed that the voice was all Wood."I wouldn't have ever had the balls to ask an actor to do a different voice for a whole movie," <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/miranda-july-kajillionaire-interview_n_5f5b7dd6c5b6b48507ff81b8">July told Matthew Jacobs of HuffPost</a>. "But Evan, when we were rehearsing early on, suddenly dropped her voice, and she was like, 'You know, this is my original voice, and I used to get vocal nodes, so I worked with a vocal coach to train my voice up. So now I speak with this voice that everyone knows me as.'"July was in complete shock."'Wait, are you kidding me? That other voice, that's a natural voice for you?'" July asked.<div type="image" title="evan rachel wood" height="1769" width="2359" msid="78242340" hostid="261"></div>July noted that Wood speaking in that deep voice was so natural for her that July completely forgot that it wasn't the voice Wood usually speaks in until people started seeing the movie and commented on Wood's voice.The director believes the use of the voice by Wood goes further than just giving the character something unique. July says it's also another way to examine the gay experience on screen. In the movie, Wood's character, Old Dolio, is trying to figure out her own sexuality."I kind of think voice is one of those very fluid gender identifiers that's ours to use as we like," July said. "I have friends who definitely, whether because of hormones or just because their identity was on a journey, their voice changed, so I do think it's an interesting, subtler queer indicator."Check out Wood's performance (and her voice) in the "Kajillionaire" trailer:<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xiMPCevu8Wk" frameborder="0"></iframe>

It's called <a href="http://somebodyapp.com/">Somebody</a>, and July released it at the Venice Film Festival with a short film branded by the fashion line Miu Miu. 
Somebody is available for free for in the iTunes Store (sorry, Android users).
Here's how it works: You use the to send a message to a friend, but you also need to include actions and directions for delivering the message, because it won't be delivered electronically to your friend. Instead, the message gets picked up by a user nearby your intended recipient. 
You can choose the delivery person based on their photos and the rating they have from other people who have previously elected to use that person as a courier. 
The delivery person and your friend are given one another's picture and GPS-based location so they can meet up. This delivery person, who's likely a total stranger, will deliver your message verbally. You'll get notified when your message is delivered. The messaging service only works if your friend is available. 
If it's not a good time to receive a message from a total stranger - or if there's nobody available to deliver your message - your message will be "floated." People who wish to act as messengers can browse the "floated" messages and deliver one.
It's part social experiment, part messaging app, and part performance art. 
"I see this as far-reaching public art project, inciting performance and conversation about the value of inefficiency and risk," July said in a press release. 
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/53ff853aeab8ea2332cb3061-821-615/somebody-app-miranda-july.png" border="0" alt="somebody app miranda july">SomebodySome of the messages you can opt to send to friends on Somebody.</img></div></div></div>It's no surprise that the official Somebody "hotspots" are all art-based; after all, Somebody is a self-described "public art project." The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The New Museum, and Boston's Museum of Fine Arts are all among the designated hotspots, where museum attendees will be invited to use the app during their visit. 
July is best-known for her writing and directing, most famously in her 2005 movie "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0415978/?ref_=ttspec_spec_tt">Me and You and Everyone We Know</a>," as well as her performance art. 
For July's 2013 performance art piece <a href="http://wethinkalone.com/">We Think Alone</a>, July asked Kirsten Dunst, Lena Dunham, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and other friends to share private email correspondence. Subscribers received weekly email newsletters from July with the celebrities' topical, private emails. 
July's explanation for Somebody is what makes it different from other quirky messaging apps.
 "The most high-tech part of the app is not in the phone, it's in the users who dare to deliver a message to stranger," according to Somebody's press release. "Half-app / half-human, Somebody twists our love of avatars and outsourcing - every relationship becomes a three-way. The antithesis of the utilitarian efficiency that tech promises, here, finally, is an app that makes us nervous, giddy, and alert to the people around us."
Somebody likely won't dethrone messaging apps like <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/snapchat-raising-10-billion-valuation-2014-8">Snapchat</a> and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-whatsapp-shows-no-signs-of-slowing-down-2014-8">WhatsApp</a>, but it's nevertheless an interesting experiment in human interaction.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lena Dunham Date: Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 5:14 AM Subject: a love letter to Jack M. Antonoff To: Jack Antonoff
 Dearest Baby,
I'm trying to keep a journal on this trip. Historically I have done really poorly with a journal. The idea of writing without an audience seemed futile at best and like a bad voice over on a cancelled ABC show at worst. When I was little I left my journal out, open, for my parents to find (then hid behind the counter waiting for them to read it so I could be incensed.) But somehow my book makes every piece of writing feel as though it has an eventual home (maybe that's how your album feels?) and gives record-keeping a kind of fullness it never had before. Which is good, because my old move was to write these long belabored emails to <keyword id="6360040" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="people">people</keyword> at home and find a way to enjoy my travels by imagining them imagining me enjoying my travels. I think I can enjoy my travels on my own this time, but I did have one revelation:
I was walking through a beautiful Indian garden this morning (Lodi garden! The oldest in the city! It looks like if someone crushed Versailles with a giant Doc Marten) and passed a big green pond with a dozen disorderly swans. All the old people in my party were cooing about the swans but I was focused on this young couple, late teens or early twenties, curled up on a bench talking really animatedly. We spent 40 minutes walking around the garden and when we circled back they were still there, chatting like fiends. And And I thought of you, like always, and I felt I could spend four days on a bench with you and it wouldn't be enough time to hear all the stories you have to tell-- I literally want to know everything you have ever seen and what you felt like while you were seeing it. And I will be so much better my whole life for knowing those things.
I love you, Lena
Perhaps here's how her on-screen boyfriend would react:<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/524add8c69bedd110e40fda2/tumblr_inline_mi6smjlmhm1qz4rgp.gif" border="0" alt="Lena Dunham Girls GIF" /><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/30/lena-dunham-jack-antonoff_n_4018013.html">huffingtonpost.com</a></div></div></div>

Librarians from the <a href="http://www.nypl.org/blog/2014/12/22/best-books-year">New York Public Library recalled</a> the best books they read in 2014. From romance to thriller to biography, you'll find your new favorite books below.
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0803734964/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0803734964&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=7MIQSEICCQZUGH57">I'll Give You the Sun</a>" by Jandy Nelson:&#xa0;Twins Noah and Jude are total opposites, but very close growing up. Fast forward to adulthood, and they're no longer speaking. "A story of sibling rivalry, family, love, art, betrayal, perseverance, death and dreams," said Mulberry Street branch librarian Anne Rouyer, "it filled my soul with hope and humanity and made me a better person."
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0802122515/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0802122515&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=INQQHN2CFYKTSI2G">An Untamed State</a>" by Roxane Gay:&#xa0;Mirelle is an attorney on her way to visit her parents with her husband and son when she is kidnapped and held for ransom. "It really gave me chills to read what she resorted to doing just to survive such traumatizing events," said Grand Concourse branch librarian Sherise Pagan.
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1594633118/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1594633118&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=42ZTJD5JDSF4R76X">The Paying Guests</a>" by Sarah Waters:&#xa0;In 1922 London, an impoverished widow and her spinster daughter take in some boarders to earn a little extra money. "The setting is rich, the characters captivating, the writing inspiring, and the story!" said Lynn Lobash, in Readers Services. "The book turns from fascinating historical fiction to thriller. It's amazing!"
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1451649282/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1451649282&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=GA36FQF5QQVGGBOP">Unremarried Widow: A Memoir</a>" by Artis Henderson:&#xa0;Artis Henderson's soldier husband dies in a helicopter crash in Iraq - a death which mirrors that of her father, who died in a plane crash when Artis was five. "It's achingly sad," said Maura Muller, in the Volunteers Office, "but it is a beautiful love story that in spite of the heartache, leaves you smiling."
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0802122566/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0802122566&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=JB4O7A22ZYIZCBXO">The Interior Circuit: A Mexico City Chronicle</a>" by Francisco Goldman:&#xa0;Goldman's grief over the death of his wife manifests itself in his fear of driving in Mexico City, a fear which he symbolically tries to overcome. "It's at once a deeply felt love story, an elegy, political study and meditation on home," said Miriam Tuliao, on the NYPL Selection Team.
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1606997688/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1606997688&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=GWBJXQJFJ5VW6XS3">An Age of License</a>" by Lucy Knisley:&#xa0;This graphic travel memoir follows Kniskley on a trip to Europe and Scandinavia she took in her twenties to try and discover herself. "With lovely and evocative illustrations, it perfectly captures the fun of traveling as a young person, while also touching on the anxieties that come with being a twenty-something," said Mulberry Street branch librarian Susie Heimbach.
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/159643774X/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=159643774X&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=64J43OWOLVWZN42J">This One Summer</a>" by Mariko Tamaki:&#xa0;"This graphic novel is an evocative coming-of-age tale that perfectly captures the innocence of feeling small when experience reveals that the world is a much larger and darker place than the familiarity of summer suggests," said Mid-Manhattan branch librarian Daniel Norton.
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0525426035/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0525426035&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=UJQLMHUWYENLFPAV">Grasshopper Jungle</a>" by Andrew Smith:&#xa0;In a world where giant preying mantises are taking over the world lies a story "with a solid bedrock of character development and an unusual storytelling style," Kingsbridge librarian Andrea Lipinski said. "Austin Szerba is a great character and a fascinating narrator, and we follow him down surprising paths as his mind takes leaps backwards and forwards in time to tell this story."
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0143119680/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0143119680&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=LCAJZAERPYNT6ERL">A Discovery of Witches</a>" by Deborah Harkness:&#xa0;The first book in a trilogy of vampires, witches, time travel, and romance where a student navigates a long-lost alchemical manuscript and discovers a fantastical history. "What's not to love?" said Mid-Manhattan librarian Lois Moore. "I'm already halfway through the second book in the trilogy, '<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0143123629/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0143123629&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=OH2FT6KQZDSTX2AO">Shadow of Night</a>.' The third volume, '<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0670025593/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0670025593&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=2HEABKP767CWJYC2">The Book of Life</a>,' was published this year."
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0765364883/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0765364883&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=GVOJQIDQRG4VFV5E">A Memory of Light</a>" by Brandon Sanderson:&#xa0;This is the finale of Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" fantasy series, continued by Sanderson after Jordan's death. "Seeing so many character stories wrap up, others end in tragedy and saying goodbye to favorites you've followed over the course of fourteen epic novels was a bit wrenching," Spuyten Duyvil branch librarian Joshua Soule said. "I'm not afraid to admit there were tears."
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1451666179/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1451666179&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=ULCWALUJQFIZTJHT">Hyperbole and a Half</a>" by Allie Brosh:&#xa0;Based on the author's popular blog, this is a book of hilarious, everyday situations accented by spunky, crudely-drawn illustrations that help tell a story. "I appreciate her total honesty in pointing out her own flaws," said Rabecca Hoffman, from the Kingsbridge branch. "It was smart, funny, and ... made the rest of us feel normal."
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0312424094/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0312424094&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=HYPA6O7GCDRSOEDI">Housekeeping</a>" by Marilynne Robinson:&#xa0;Two sisters face grief, growing up, and survival as they're shuffled from one relative to another as each dies. "Every sentence is vivid," said Mid-Manhattan branch librarian Jessica Cline. "I felt the leaves build up in the corners of my rooms and paint begin to peel on my door frames."
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0062110845/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0062110845&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=475ZALNKAQJOVJP6">The Golem and the Jinni</a>" by Helene Wecker:&#xa0;Both Chava, a golem, and Ahmad, a jinni, are mythical creatures who exist in Jewish and Muslim lore, respectively. A chance meeting between the two in New York city mixes genres and mythologies at the same time. This is "an epic story that documents the immigrant experience of the two unlikely title characters," said Rosa Caballero-Li, in the AskNYPL service.
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1439172560/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1439172560&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=OQAL2HAKX327ANTF">The First Bad Man</a>" by Miranda July:&#xa0;Cheryl is a neurotic woman living alone when her bosses ask if their 21-year-old daughter - a spoiled bully who thrusts Cheryl into reality - can live with her for a while. "It was so funny and fresh," said Lynn Lobash, in Readers Services. " The narrator is socially spastic. She will make you cringe like Larry David."
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0062271504/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0062271504&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=HVNJYJ4DTCWHCSZ2">The Luck Uglies</a>" by Paul Durham:&#xa0;"This fantasy adventure reminded me just how much fun it can be to plunge into a world of deliciously awful villains, mysterious rogues and fearsome monsters with a group of undaunted young protagonists," Seward Park librarian Stephanie Whelan said. "Can't remember the last time I missed so many subway stops because I just didn't want to stop reading!"
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0805086846/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0805086846&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=36IZ6DRZBYNPQEJQ">Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee</a>" by Dee Brown:&#xa0;A history of Native American Indians in the West, Brown's novel "opened a door to another point of view on American history," said Mid-Manhattan librarian Jessica Cline. "I am a more conscientious person for it. It is also a great conversation starter, many people have strong feelings about reading this book."
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1476746583/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1476746583&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=SKRD3SLIWSWJVXCS">All the Light We Cannot See</a>" by Anthony Doerr:&#xa0;A blind girl and a young German soldier, on opposite sides of World War II, come together as each must solve a puzzle of their own. "It's not just that characters are finely drawn, the path Doerr sets them on left me thinking for days afterward about the people I meet and the paths and puzzles that draw us together, for whatever reason, for however long," said Christopher Platt, in Sites and Services.
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EKYGLKA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00EKYGLKA&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=V6ODKLJDXW3T6BFW">The Sweet Science &amp; Other Writings</a>" by A.J. Liebling: "The collection is part of the estimable Library of America series and comprises five works," Wayne Roylance, in the Selection Team, said. "Liebling's deftness at turns-of-phrase, his inventive word choice ... as well as his wry humor and trenchant analysis make him - for my money - one of the best writers The New Yorker ever published."
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0803740018/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0803740018&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=MO4MUWKOB446GPUB">Under the Egg</a>" by Laura Marx Fitzgerald:&#xa0;"The story is set in New York City and introduces readers an array of fascinating residents," said Children's Center 42nd Street librarian Louise Lareau. "Think art, science, WWII, celebrity kids, Monuments Men, gardening and super cool librarians all rolled in one."
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060936223/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0060936223&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=UXILVKX4AOXK4XV5">Just Kids</a>" by Patti Smith:&#xa0;This is Smith's "eloquent memoir of her relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe and their development as artists," said Elizabeth Waters, a librarian at the Mid-Manhattan branch. "It was wonderful to see the New York City of the late 1960s and 1970s through her eyes. I wonder if any of our future poets are sleeping in city parks like she sometimes did when she first arrived in New York."
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0375867821/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0375867821&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=NO4HY32RBR4PPEDK">The Family Romanov: Murder, Rebellion, and the Fall of Imperial Russia</a>" by Candace Fleming:&#xa0;"Fleming interweaves excerpts from diary entries of peasants and shop girls with descriptions of the Romanovs' lives of excess and grandeur," Epiphany branch librarian Mina Hong said. "This is a suspenseful and juicy read ... that reveals the chilling circumstances surrounding the Romanovs' deaths during a truly tumultuous period of Russian history."
"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0374363099/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0374363099&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bibooklists-20&amp;linkId=GLPULNKDV7OCDPB4">The Riverman</a>" by Aaron Starmer:&#xa0;Two kids, Alistair and Fiona, get wrapped up in a treacherous situation involving a portal into another world where a creature called the Riverman steals childrens' souls. This book of fantasy vs. reality "wormed its way into the crevices of my brain, set up house, and will NOT be evicted for a very long time," said Betsy Bird, in the Selection Team. "I can feel tendrils of it affecting everything I do even now."
