I've seen the cans of water-based stain, but they seemed to still have big warning labels, so it scared me off (this was before I read your posts). But if I got any they'd be the sort. Thanks for the heads-up about sanding.
Sounds like you and your friend had a ball in Paris. I'd love to go back sometime, now that I've matured some and can appreciate it even more. There's a tour of the sewers? Didn't know that. Which bridge did you peg as Javert's?
I saw the musical before reading the novel, but only because we'd done a medley of songs from it in our school choir the year before (I didn't understand what we were singing, but it made me curious), and our dorm was offering to subsidize our tickets. I fell in love with it on the spot. Bought the book later and spent a year just picking out scenes I recognized, then decided I had to read it properly after all and was immediately hooked. I love the musical (I've got four recordings), but the book even after all this time can still move me to tears.
