Sadly the economy is bad there just like everywhere else. Lots of stores were closing at 70% off sales. The restaurants were all busy as I walked through La Jolla.
Add my name to the book list
I know this will sound really weird. Last year I just could not take waking up with my back hurting anymore so I started sleeping on the floor (sort of the Japanese version). No more backache in all this time. The hotel had this incredible bed you just wanted to snuggle into for TV, room service, and sleep. I woke up with a backache, back to sleeping on the floor for me.

I got the next three Criterion items for September: THAT HAMILTON WOMAN, Mamet's HOMICIDE, and a three part THE HUMAN CONDITION movie set. I also got the next season of CRIMINAL MINDS.All of these things come out on September 8. Oy! Next week is going to be BUSY!So, DR Matt H, I think I've asked you this before but i am curious: are you obligated to review everything you are sent or can you pick and chose? I have an acquaintance who reviews AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE; he used to get 30-40 CDs a month and would maybe review 3 or 4 at the most.
