What's In The Basement?

Well, at the moment not very much.  A lot of things are currently stored in the garage, as tomorrow is asbestos removal day at Lone Mtn. Homestead.  Randy G. came by to help me this morning, taking the bulkier and heavier items up the stairs into the garage.  Thursday we will put down some basic flooring in two of the four rooms, and begin to carry back some of the smaller items.  Friday Jennifer G. will slide by to help me carry the bulky items back down, and then the weekend will be spent unpacking and putting boxed items back where they go.  This is mostly books, but also Deb's stop motion set up.  At least the basement is a cool place to work in summer.

We are heading over to Detroit shortly, to pick up some mail.  We will also visit our friendly Yemeni coffee house, a Turkish candy and nut store, and finish up at Brew Detroit, a very cool taproom.  A fun afternoon lies ahead!

Deb's film choice from Criterion last week was a Japanese film from 1996 called Supermarket Woman.  It was a fluffy and pretty silly feel good comedy about a small supermarket trying to compete with Demon Dan's Discount Groceries, just opened in the neighbourhood.  It had its moments, and the two lead were perfectly suited to their roles.  We are also continuing to watch short films related to last week's The Color of Pomegranates.  We still have a few more to go.  My film choice for this week is Mr. Hulot's Holiday, a perennial favourite around here.

 A stunningly visual film, certainly worth seeing.
