I was just thinking about that Japanese tea place that you took me to Jose.

Ah, yes, Takashimaya.

However... if you're sweet tooth is still not sated, if you head up and over just a few more blocks on the East Side, you can hit Dylan's Candy Bar for all sorts of goodies - the ice cream sundaes are truly sinful! - and Serendipity 3 for the Frozen Hot Chocolate.

How about the place with the Japanese baked goods! OH, that was yummy!

I am having the most wonderful flashbacks of my NY trip, right now.

Hmmm...

Lestat closes...
HHW starts having "too many connections" errors...
DR MBarnum starts getting hungry...

Who knows? Maybe I am to blame?!?!?

DR PennyO, do you know about THIS book? Or THESE people? Or maybe you should read THIS book!

OK... I guess I should get at least one load of laundry done today...

I just remembered to turnt he page in my calendar. I am looking at a beautiful picture of the Tropical Rainforest, Daintree National Park, Queensland, Australia

Thanks Tomovoz!

I also received a beautiful calendar from Tomovoz! The picture on my calendar, though, is of "The Grotto, The King's Domain, Melbourne." I have it here at work and many people admire the lovely pictures in it. Thanks again, from me too!

MBarnum - I got Ozu's Good Morning, a Criterion DVD that's one of their worst transfers. They were out of Floating Weeds and Early something-or-other Spring or Autumn.

Had a nice jog, then shaved and am looking quite svelte today, so I think I didn't gain yesterday.

TOD - Here's a book jacket I wish I still had. My frequently-read copy of the book is a first edition, autographed by the author - having the dust jacket would boost its value significantly, but, to me, it's priceless.

Tom is keeping the calendar companies in Australia in business. I have a different calendar from the others. I'm looking at a picture of a man surfing in Bondi Bay in Sydney, New South Wales. Looks great!

All this talk of Village and Chelsea food is making me hungry but I will stay home tonight and continue working on the notes for a certain CD which some DRs are anxiously awaiting. I also have to (I don't have to but I want to) track out the rest of the CD. Most of the work is done thanks to DR George. He recorded the truncated version for me in December and broke it into 16 tracks. I now have to separate the last 20 minutes into about 9 more tracks. It's easy but time consuming and that, dear readers, is why you haven't received your CDs yet

LOL! No the one that had toys (Japanese anime models, etc)...we had called it an adult toy store during the tour...and it scared Vixmom, until she realized it was just a toy store for grown-ups who collected toys.

MBarnum · « **Reply #136 on:** June 01, 2006, 11:46:27 AM »

BK, have you ever seen Criterion's CHUSHINGURA? Now there is a most horrible DVD transfer! But what a wonderful film...and it would be such a beautiful film also if they should ever decide to clean it up and perhaps fix it so it doesn't look like it is out of focus!

I would then buy a copy of it because it was such a good movie!

DR George, did you listen to the London SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE yet? I'm listening to it now.

What do you think? I like it...I'll have to listen to it several more times to decide how much I like it, but so far, I like it a lot.

As for the Topic of the Day...

Nothing in particular comes to mind, but...

....For a couple of weeks, we spent time re-jacketing some of the books. Most of the time, that just consisted of re-wrapping the dust jackets in that plastic overwrap - the name of which escapes me now. -I'm sure BK and DRs George and Ginny know the correct name....

Mylar jackets.

Here we use the Brodart Lifetime^TM Lo-Luster 1.5 Mill Book Jacket Cover.

At home, on paperbacks that we want to protect, I use clear contact paper (which would give a book perservationist apoplexy).

My shift is done! I'm going to go talk to my supervisor and then it's off to meet the kids. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

I just found out that a man that I used to work with was murdered yesterday. His body was discovered by his 15 year-old daughter. He was only 46.

Sorry to hear that awful news, DR TCB.

There are two things I dislike. First, the slo-o-o-o-w tempos. Some parts--some entire songs--drag on like dirges. No wonder this recording went to two discs.

I also don't care for Daniel Evans as Act One George. He has a Scottish accent which get muddied up throughout (especially during the part with the two dogs.) He has a beautiful voice and I think he's fine as Act Two George, but I don't think he carries off Seurat at all. (Is Act One George ever referred to as Seurat? Hmmmm...)

Otherwise, I love Jenna Russell as Dot/Marie. Not as good of a singer as BP, but she acts the roles much better.

I also like the new orchestrations. In fact, I like how this entire recording sounds. I don't know what the technical term is, but it's the "warmest" cast recording I've heard in years. There's a robust, full-bodied sound overall.

And it's a treat to have the entire score included, though I wish not as much of the spoken dialogue was present (a wish I have for all cast recordings in general.)

DR TPunk - The burger place in question is "The Burger Joint". It's on Bleecker Street @ MacDougal, a block from 6th Ave. (Avenue of the Americas). *It's also across the street from Porto Rico, that great coffee place. **And there's also a great Indian "kati roll" place a few doors away.

*Alas, I think the burgers may have gone up from $1.00 to $1.50 for the plain ones. Still a very tasty bite.

-Need a tour guide?

Bleecker Street @ MacDougal? Isn't that the block where the Sullivan Theatre is, or used to be? That is where THE FANTASTICKS was performed for 374 years (or something like that)
