women at work
more photos from the weekend. lang and charity continue to make progress on their "new" house on st.elmo avenue. i think they spent nearly a week scraping the glue off of the hardwood floors by hand in this room -- charity and kiko hard at work in this photo. apparently the floor sander gets all gummed up if you don't get the glue off first. somehow i managed to dodge ever actually getting on my knees and picking up a chisel for the whole process though - which i feel kind of bad about. (i'm serious, i thought the girls were having "girl time" while the boys were on the deck having beers...) either way, there's still plenty of work to be done.
...
well i think the general concensus on the triplets of belleville last night was, as lang put it, somewhere between "really great" and "freakin' awesome." granted, the entire work has a bit of a melancholy feel to it, but i really do think i had a grin on my face from the opening scene to the final credits. it was such a rich film in so many ways: the hand-drawn animation, the musical editing, even the cartoon violence. go see it, or wait for it come out on DVD and buy it.

Posted by: JosiahQ at February 17, 2004 10:48 AMi'm looking forward to "triplets" coming next week to our "artsy theatre". we just saw "the station agent" - www.thestationagent.com - there a couple weeks ago. great. loved it. must see. i never thought i could be attracted to a guy that was shorter than me (at least not one who is hovering around 3'8"). there are a ton of other must sees coming that you can get the skinny on at www.theross.org.
