Woohoo!
(err, that was on the arrangements, not the Loretta Lynn hair.)
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm wondering if it's more normal in black circles, or Jamaican ones, or what. It surprises me that it's a deal for anyone, and I'm wondering where I got this acculturation.
Rent parties used to be fairly common back in certain bohemian circles.

Always Anti-fascist!
We had one once. It was kind of a bust.

Because books.
The only party I've ever been to that involved money was a friend who was going to order in food for everyone -- she had drinks and things to nosh, and a menu, and just asked everyone to kick in a small amount to cover ordering the food, which seemed reasonable.
The flat $10 at the door thing seems weird to me, too.
If the Charlaine Harris books are the ones I'm thinking of (the blurb about the waitress and the brand-new love of her life who is tragically undead makes me think they are), then meh indeed.
I couldn't even finish the first one. Her writing seemed really flat to me, even though I thought the characters might be fun. Maybe some decent actors will make them more interesting.
Does Oxygen show Ever After *every* Friday night? I swear this is like the fourth week in a row I've flipped past it.

ita, is it a bad thing when bruises itch? If today's bruise weren't limited to my big toe, I think it would be as impressive as some of yours, but it itches.

This is totally not a rent party. This is my former boss, who is a professional woman in her 40s. She owns her own home and doesn't need to worry about covering her mortgage.

Perkins, itching around a wound usually indicates that you're healing.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Thanks for the happies, everyone.
I have discovered that Bob Marley is the perfect music to listen to while working on a production of Oliver at a jewish community center. Who knew?
And I can report that B&J's Dublin Mudslide ice cream is teh YUM!
Perkins, I've had bruises that I only discovered because they itched. They seemed to heal at about the same rate as any other bruise.
Oh, and btw... You Rock!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
In college there was the occasional cover charge for a party, but I don't think I've run into it since. I associate rent parties with Langston Hughes because he made them seem so fun.
ita, Old Navy had fairy wings on sale for 1/2 off. It's like they were thinking of you.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Back. No Fitzmas plays, though they did have a "Top 5 Less Embarassing Nicknames than Scooter" countdown to start the clock. Two Rosa Parks plays, though.
Also, one of my favorite ensemble members has returned after a several year hiatus. I was pleasantly surprised.
Nothing particularly Halloweeny tonight. I'm not sure if the website needs to be updated or they only do Halloween shows on Halloween.
The Neo-Futurists? TMLMTBGB? I am whimpering with envy.
That would be them, JZ. My friends and I used to go once every month or so, but lately it's only been a couple times a year. It's still a lot of fun, but the hour drive home at 1am is getting more burdensome as the years pass.
