we joked about something like this back in those irony free days following 9-11. and sly not reviving just one but both of his movie franchises.
The Voynich Manuscript is a mysterious late mediæval text, written in an unknown script in an unknown language or cypher. It reads as if written fluently, not by someone who was painfully calculating each next character, but by someone who understood what he was writing. It looks like a curious herbal or alchemical treatise, full of diagrams of unknown plants, unknown constellations, and elaborate networks of plumbing inhabited by plump, naked, crowned women.

its that time of year again. once again the film on my windows was not accepted. apparently some types of films are more equal than others. but if that not a living documentary i dont know what is. well, park city is nothing new to me. im perpetually snowed in.
Still love Cambodian Cuisine in Brooklyn and Holy Basil....
I stoped by Grand Sichuan Int Midtown for some to-go, I know I want to find a new spot, people had sent me emails from far and wide wondering how this little Chinese joint made it to the top eight NY.......My friend Daniel asked me to have them make a special lunch for a wine critic pal of his, they made a meal with nothing on the menu, its was funky, some were lets say something polite here "for the highly adventerous", other dishes were insane good, the chicken killed that morning was as good as any poulet de Bresse, then with the "man cooking" we went to the regular menu and every dish was awesome, byob vino deluxe....to-go was good, food has been inconsistant with the family fueding, maybe I will never stop...
The Butte Pit area is actually like the Hunza Valley, at least for one dog.

78 OTAFUKU
Think it might be a new nightclub owned by Joey Buttafuoco? Nope-it's an Osaka-style street-food stand where the specialty is a gooey pancake called otafuku, which means "cook what you like." While the range of offerings doesn't match that of a similar establishment at the Japanese mall in Edgewater, New Jersey, Otafuku provides a fine intro to the genre, featuring ingredients such as shrimp, unsmoked bacon, and squid. Also offered: fried octopus balls (gee, I didn't know they had balls).

((The Ocu-balls were fun but just ok to me, the pancake is made of cabbage with toppings....I will do a road trip to Edgewater soon))

real goods : being green starts at home
MB was asking about a protest scheduled at 26 Federal Plaza today. It's going on now, and seems to be tied in to immigrant/alien registration deadlines now looming. It's a small gathering, taking up the sidewalk for about half of the block in front of the building on Broadway. It's well behaved and closely, though not oppressively, policed. Traffic on Broadway continues as usual. Top prop is a multi-person parade snake labeled USA Patriot Act. I didn't catch the Islamic prayers that MB mentioned, and I can't really make out all the speeches, but they have the usual tone: too harsh, too much call and response for my taste. But it's not like they don't have legitimate complaints. The protest is dwarfed by the line of registrants & others with INS business who must wait in the cold before being allowed to enter the building. I've seen these people being treated like cattle for years, and I don't mean like Kobe beef cattle. The Voice has an article on the phenomenon of this line. Read the article, 'cause I doubt you'll see much news coverage of the event.
