Wee! Just got caught up on all 900+ posts from last Friday to now.
Happy New Year, everyone, and Happy Birthday, Shrift!
No meara, but I do have to defend the movie Godspell, though--it's a family tradition to watch it at Easter time (back-to-back with Jesus Christ, Superstar, if time allows), and I have a definite affection for the goofy humor and excellent songs. When I was at Marquette, they had a "Godspell Mass" on midnight of Palm Sunday that was always packed.
Seeing Victor Garber in Titanic was a surprise, because that was the first thing I'd seen him in since he played Jesus. Lynne Thigpen was a Joliet native, so it was great following her career after the movie, as well.
In related news, I turned on an oldies station in the car today, and heard "Day by Day," which surprised the shit out of me. I don't think I've heard it on the radio since the late '70s.
Happy Birthday, shrift!
I was a townie during college, but honestly aside from traditional holiday staples I preferred lunchroom food to my mom's cooking. If I'd gone away to college my reaction to a care package from home probably would have been "Crap! Do I HAVE to eat it?"
I got care packages from my parents during college. And sometimes I still do, though now I'm more apt to send my mom a care package than the other way around. Though she did send us a giant box of red meat that we need to eat in the very near future.
On the way home from work, I heard an interview with a guy talking about Abramoff's various offenses. He referred, repeatedly, to the U. S. protectorate of the "North Marinara Islands". Oy.
They're off the coast of Tortilla.
I got Mister Kitty because his people moved to Saipan (well, and allergies, but the Saipan part sounds more exciting.)
Also? The cat is a freak tonight. Someone must've flipped his switch to ON.
Mom sent me a couple care packages in college. Now I get the equivalent more frequently...in books! Most of the other goodies (spices I can't find here, mixes that ditto) she saves for occasions like birthdays and random holidays. I still get an easter package every year, never mind I don't observe in it any fashion.
You know, I am not clicking that. Go here
