Saw Kitano's Zatoichi last night. Like I said over at Funnystrange, arterial spray and a big dance number... what more do ya want from a movie?!?
Had dinner at Acme, where we hadn't been in a bazillion months. Outstanding. Even better than I remembered. I had crab cakes (which were MD-worthy) over a surprisingly good succotash. But Sarah's grilled chicken was the highlight, particularly the almond/smoked red pepper sauce. Very yum.
XDU's getting ready for another semestre o' college radio goodness. There seem to be several actual Duke students on the board this year, which can only be a good thing. I'm thinking of running a world music interest meeting (type thing) sometime in Sept. I mean, it's not like we need more DJs to staff "Mondo Mundo" (XDU's world music show, Saturdays 1-3pm... but you knew that). But more people involved means more CD reviewers and more people who might know about some label we're missing out on, or some genre we could get more exposure to. Plus any kinda outreach to the general DJ population should increase the number of people thinking about world music and maybe playing it during their shows. My goal (or perhaps it's more of an idle fantasy than an actual goal) is to have the entire XDU top 10 be world CDs some week.
And then there's this (which I spotted on boing boing last week). I haven't made it past the intro pages yet, which had me laughing so much I nearly spat coffee all over my monitor. (with that lovely image, i bid you good night)
