So, did I mention that we got a new dog? No I don't think I did. She's Ms. Jane Lane. Very sweet. Very big. More details at Sarah's.
Here's something I meant to link last week. Interesting article on Slate by Gish Jen about the history of Chinese restaurants. Well, specifically about an exhibit on same at the Museum of the Chinese in the Americas, in NYC. The MOCA website doesn't give an exact end-date for the exhibit and I'm really hoping it will still be up when we're in New York this summer.
And, hey, while I'm linking to things on Slate, here's a photo essay that just went up about Max Ernst.
In a surprise reversal of my expectations (or most of them) Steamboy is opening this Friday in Raleigh. Also needing to be seen is Nobody Knows, the latest Kore-eda movie, which is also suprising me by hanging around for another week. Plus I still haven't seen Kung Fu Hustle. At least it's supposed to be a rainy weekend.
if you guys go to a matinee of steamboy or kung fu hustle and don't mind a tagalong, let me know, i would love to see either of those.
turns out i have to work on sunday which puts me halfway to raleigh already. steamboy is playing at the colony and there's shows at 2 and 4.30pm. the later show i can definitely make but i'd prefer the 2pm, if i can get thru work in time. more details as the weekend advances. anyone else interested?
