I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It's certainly my problem at Target. I go in because there's a sale on Tide and wander about going "Ooh. Shiny."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have some things to return to Target. I usually do my Target shopping on-line to keep the impulse shopping a little bit under control, but I don't want to pay the shipping charges again.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I need some new shirts. target fits my current budget. too sick. I might make it to the cart, but then I would sleep in the seat. and when I woke, I would forget why I was in the car so I would go back into the house.

Hey. New board.

fyi, if you paid full price for the tickets you're allowed to trade them for a night when the cast members you want to see are there.

Sadly, I was only in the city for about 3 days, and they wouldn't be performing any of those nights anyway.

Plus, it was a whole rigmarole where my mom accidentally bought tickets for the wrong date and we had to sit on the stairs instead of in actual seats anyway.

It didn't matter much. The Elphaba understudy was phenomenal, possibly better (at least with the singing, which is all I can compare) than Menzel, the Galinda was perfectly acceptable to great (though nobody could be as good as Chenowith in that role, I'm certain). Only the wizard was a real disappointment. And, hey, I met both Hil and DebetEsse about an hour before the show, so it was a great night anyway.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yep. Either that or, "hey, a basic shirt I can wear to work, for $10. Might as well get 2."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That's the flaw in the system. Feh.

Plus, it was a whole rigmarole where my mom accidentally bought tickets for the wrong date and we had to sit on the stairs instead of in actual seats anyway.

Hee! I've done that too-- I forget the circumstances but I remember the butt.

It didn't matter much. The Elphaba understudy was phenomenal, possibly better (at least with the singing, which is all I can compare) than Menzel, the Galinda was perfectly acceptable to great (though nobody could be as good as Chenowith in that role, I'm certain). Only the wizard was a real disappointment. And, hey, I met both Hil and DebetEsse about an hour before the show, so it was a great night anyway.

I can't imagine anyone doing that role as well as Chenoweth. She was just so perfect. I'M NOT GLOATING-- it's just one of the few performances I've ever seen where I felt that way. The character is such a weird mix of caracature and heart that it's got to be nearly impossible for mere mortals to perform.

I also live in fear of high school productions where they cast baby belters as Elphaba. Menzel has a true blue legit voice and it really matters for that character and those songs.
