No School for the holiday--it's good working for an enlightened public school system.
So after planting bulbs for spring, I cleaned up and went down to the Mall in D.C. There's a little show at the National Gallery of Art that I visited briefly recently with a couple of friends, and I wanted to have some time with it alone as well as pick-up the catalogue. I'll share more about it specifically soon.
When you go the National Gallery it's two separate buildings joined by an underground concourse. The concourse features a large buffet driven cafeteria and one of the two shops. It's the one that features books. If you go there you'll discover a sale table. And if you're lucky there will be something sitting there with your name on it. Today, I was lucky!
"A Century of Thai Cinema" compiled by Dome Sukwong & Sawasdi Suwannapak is a collection of all things Thai movies. It's peppered throughout with commentaries and contains hundreds and hundreds of images of actors, stills, posters, theatres, recordings, scripts, and all sorts of memorabilia. Written in English, it was published in Thailand. I can't wait to absorb it all!
