May 10 an email to Robhey rob,
you guys did a great job on the house. it looks like a big makeover. the latter picture is definitely more homey than the first one. and it also carried out the local tradition very well. i went out for a movie tonight. it's actually more than a movie. it's a silent movie with live orchestra, live foley and castrato. a canadian director Guy Maddin's latest work. it's quite a night out. the show was staged at the village east cinemas. well, it's just next door of my building. i am sure you remember that theatre. it used to have lots of famous bands playing there like 'the doors', 'the .. doors', and ...'the doors'. ok, i only heard about this band playing there. but i think maybe you would know more than i do. a great thing is they still keep the building as it was. the ceiling, the chandelier, the staircase and the stage, etc. i never really like it as a movie theatre. but as a stage for silent movie was just great. there were 2 stages, one for orchestra and the other for sound effects. it was very interesting to see how they make sound effect right in front of the screen. and also there's a narrator citing poem or whatever it was for the story effect. do you know the sound of a fire burning consists of the shacking of a plastic sheet and the poping of plastic bubble wraps? i was glad i went to see it. to think of it, it's my first time ever to see movie this way. i've been to silent movie with live orchestra. but with live foley and narrator, this is my first time. and i liked the experience. this reminds me of 'rocky horror picture show'. you know the village east cinema's tradition? they play rocky horror picture show every year on Halloween. and each year i would see people dressing up as characters they like and line up on a line in front of the theatre. i was never into dressing up as anything so i actually never get to go into that theatre too see it with the Halloween crowd. that would be a fun thing to do. spring is here. i have allergy all the time. this year, it is not too severe for me, yet. but i have to swallow a claritin every morning all the same. i think about drinking a mojito around 5 in the evening and if i don't go out i make myself a salty dog at home. hope you are enjoying your spring too. hugs, your friend.
