Ha!  Damn Maier/Daley line...  The Reader's website was actually what I
first checked to see if ODBread was released here, but you just explained
why I couldn't find it there.  And holy crow on the Gursky; truly, truly
fantastic stuff.  I'd seen the supermarket photo before, but failed to note
the artist.

We have an enormous volume on Kubrick's work at the library where I work (I
wanna say published by Taschen; it's a limited edition run and each copy
comes with a piece of celluloid from one of his films[!]) with giant
full-color glossy photos of some of the most striking images from his
films.  So if a hypothetical viewer had somehow failed to notice the beauty
in motion, it's conveniently captured on a bunch of pages for sustained
viewing pleasure.  Oh, also, do you like Ligeti?  I love those massive
drones.

I agree with you on the Link-ster's Hit or Miss-ness, but not on School of
Rock.  I never use this word, but I thought it was charming!  I have a
feeling one's opinion of it may hinge on one's opinion of Jack Black, so if
yer put off by his mugging, I understand the lack of enthusiasm.  But I
thought he was perfect for the role, and also that the Zeppelin sing-along
in the van was just near perfection.  So joyous.  I avoided B New Bears like
the plague, though, so I can't comment on that.

I wanted to give you some links to some more architecture images, though,
too.  I came across it tonight in a happy accident of P-listing and school
work, while reading fer a history class I'm in.  It's a mosque in Dehli
called Purana Qila, which I guess translates to "Old Fort," and a prominent
art historian (J.C. Harle) says he'd place it on the same level as anything
by Brunelleschi: <http://www.pbase.com/croftcroyne/image/52527850>.  And
then there's this five-storey little gem, too: <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Sasaram.jpg>; unfortunately the Wiki
photo was the best I could find.  Both of these were commissioned by the
same Afghan Sur ruler in the middle of the 16th cen.  I thought you might
enjoy.

And be sure to notify me when yer in Chicago again.  We'll paint the town
brown.

Oh shit, I almost forgot!  I saw the new Scorcese movie this weekend, and
the Boston City Hall is featured prominently throughout!  The concrete
courdoroy wales look great on film, too.
