it feels like all day i've been waiting for my shift to start. i gotta change that. i'm leaving for work in half an hour. i'm listening to CocoRosie album for the first time. amazing blind buy. used record stores rock. who the fuck said these girls were not to everyone's taste? i was expecting something so obtuse after those reviews. they're not weird at all. these are just great acoustic songs. nice atmosphere. i like it a lot. i went running for a bit this afternoon. when i came back i stopped at the mailbox and found a package waiting for me from DVDPacific. i was like, wtf? is this some sort of promo thing for ordering so much? then it hit me -- i'd put in the order for Kurosawa's Stray Dog (The Criterion Collection) last thursday!! i finally have it. this was the one i'd been waiting to order since i rented it last spring. amazing film. since tomorrow's payday, and this latest package from DVDPacific didn't even take a week to get here, i'm thinking about making another order (just one). the massive, 5-disc set for Fanny & Alexander has been my next choice. but the Renoir/Kurosawa double-feature for The Lower Depths is also close at the top of my list. we'll see. i'll order it tonight after work.

have a nice evening, everyone.
