I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

No pits for me though, as I avoided them in HS, due to lack of interest in playing songs from "Lil Abner."

Aw, I loved playing in the pit in high school. We never did Lil' Abner, though. (We did do Once Upon a Mattress one year, which was... dull, but the other ones I was in were Fiddler and Funny Thing Happens on the Way to the Forum, both of which were a lot of fun.)

And you should totally go to the ballet, dressed to the nines. It's a lot of fun. Just... a little bit of distance is good.

For those in the know, maybe they can answer a question re: Alias. Is it true that Michael Vartan asked to be let go from the show? And, are they going to write him out, then ?

SailAweigh, I've heard the opposite, but I'm very far from in the know. Also, if it happens, I won't watch at all anymore.

And if it's true, can I just say: SO STUPID TO DATE YOUR CO-WORKER.

Huh, the opposite. Okay, I should know better than to lurk in the crack-rumor corners of places so dark I don't even remember their names anymore. Shows you what effect spoilers can have on your intelligence. I'll just wait for Alias to start so I can watch teh pretty again.

I'm at the airport. I m glad I got here early, since my uitcase set off some alarm, and they spent about half an hour looking through and opening everything, even the unopened boxes of presents. Of course,, my flight is delayed, so it may not matter.

Sean, are you at my house?

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Ooh, what did you play? Because I totally played the violin for nine years. No pits for me though, as I avoided them in HS, due to lack of interest in playing songs from "Lil Abner."

I play(ed) violin and viola. I played through college, so most of the pit work I did was during my undergrad at UConn. I played for a bunch of ballets and operas and saw none of them.

I actually never played in a normal musical pit, but I feel like that would have been fun!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

For space geeks: [link]

European spaceflight controllers are now making their final communications with the Huygens probe, soon to be deployed on the last leg of its journey to Titan. Once it separates from the Cassini mother ship at 10:08 PM ET on Dec. 24, they will never be able to speak to it again. And even when (or if) they again hear its voice, it will only be an echo after it has already died.

Sean, are you at my house?

No, not yet. I was waiting for traffic to die down. Maybe a little after 8:00 or so, I plan on heading over there, and spending the night.

Cripes, Lee. Sorry to hear that.
