Jeunet's City of Lost Children @ the LDC?

You'll soon know what I mean if you don't already:
(pilfered from google)
Now gaze yonder below!
So... the clean up process is continuing. The good news is it looks like science fiction which seems to be working some what well with the incredible shock we all feel as we try to decide what to do next. The floor is not alive... even if you don't believe me. No, those are not tubes feeding the fake kids I made up in the basement. They are pretty successful little tubes for cleaning up water.I have to say I'm really grateful to work for such wonderful people. Although everyone is a bit overwhelmed thinking of things that need to be done and compiling excessive lists of what to do when, everyone is in a pretty good mood and is working together to laugh whenever possible. I have to hand it to them, I'd either be crying or poking someone's eye out right now if this were my restaurant. I really, really love these people! They are truly wonderful human beings and I am so very grateful to know them. I have been here for years and I have to admit I get a little teary eyed myself when I think of how destructive water can be. No lemons with this but if you're feeling nostalgic you can pretend the giant yellow tubes are lemon rinds floating above what was a huge indoor pool last Thursday! It works out well because the clear tubes look like straws...
I'm still getting a lot of humorous messages and calls regarding the children I don't have. I keep wondering if the press has corrected that error but I have enough to do and no, I haven't called them. I also never read the local paper because it doesn't carry the NY Times crossword and there are too many supermarket ads.

Thanks again for all of the calls and concern everyone has expressed. We've been working on getting our calls forwarded (the lines are down) so... soon, you should be able to reach us at our normal number. Also, forgive us if we can't get back to you right away- there have been a lot of calls and there are many we are making regularly. As I am sure you can imagine, we've been really busting our bums to talk to everyone and actively respond but also have our hands tied with many other things. We look forward to reopening and celebrating with the community. Thanks so much!

One last thing is the total time change for me. I'm used to working at 4pm and therefore waking up any time between 10am and 1pm so this day thing is really... interesting. I did get up early for class but it has been a month since that was necessary and aside from that, this last semester didn't require me to be there before 10:50 so... I think I'm slowly going to turn into a morning person! Just kidding... I love the night.

Take Care!
Scrappy

I love the pics and really enjoyed reading the article. You are going to be a morning person now! So you're not a vampire after all?
