A Hell's Angel once wanted to take me out on his bike. He had "Lurch" tattooed on his arm and was about seven feet tall.

I'd be afraid to say no to a 7-foot Hell's Angel with "Lurch" tattooed on his arm.

I thought about that, Tep. But I figured I was tiny enough (compared to him) to climb through the bathroom window if I had to.

Actually, he was kind of a pussycat. Funniest thing ever was Stephen and his friend on the other side of the bar, mouths hanging open and little college boy non-muscles quivering, like, "Babe, you're on your own there. "

I love "Chess"! It has to be among my favorite shows. I'll be anxious to see it on PBS. I remember early in season 1 of Buffy when I realized Anthony Head and Murray Head were brothers. It made me absolutely giddy and it was so frustrating when so few of my students were as excited as I.

I should really be working on my syllabi for the coming semester.

Final note about that terrible GP I referenced above - my parents still go to her and like her and never saw anything really wrong. There was other stuff she did to my sis, too, I just can't remember the stories right now.

Ugggh, I am not making much progress here. Woe.

Couple of bootleg clips from You Tube:

Nobody's Side (Adam and Idina)

Anthem (Josh)

I Know Him So Well (Idina and Kerry)

I'm just thinking if it sounds like this with the crappy audio and dependent on where the person recording it was sitting, I cannot wait to see the real thing.

I saw Wicked shortly after it opened, with Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth and Joel Grey. Taye Diggs was filling in as Fiyero, because Norbert Leo Butz had been injured.

whimper.

Taye Diggs had been a last-minute replacement, and clearly hadn't had much time to learn the part. Missed a bunch of lines, and in one scene, Fiyero was supposed to throw a broom to Elphaba. He misthrew by a good eight feet or so and she couldn't catch it, and they both burst out laughing. After about thirty seconds or so, one of them made the time-out sign and then started again from the line right before the throw.

I cannot wait to see the real thing.

I'm with Barb on this one.

I had a therapist I had to stop seeing becuase he got a perm.

Well there were other reasons, but the perm was kind of the deal breaker. He had thinning hair, and well, you know what Steve Dallas looked like in Bloom County when he got a perm? That's what he looked like. I had to keep turning my head and biting my cheek to stop from bursting out in a giggle fit. luckily there had been several miscommunications so the break up was easy.

Oh... as they say... dear. How very wrong in a unbuttoned shirt with a shiny gold medallion sort of way.

I've more-than-made-out in an alley. It was pretty fun, actually. She was my boss too, so it had that extra air of naughty.

Just back from taking Cash down Haight Street where she loaded up on goodies at the bookstore (Booksmith) and kid's store (For Kids Only, lots of dress up stuff for O and Liv. Yes, he got his own fairy wand) and the girly store (Ambiance) and the t-shirt store (vintage baseball t-shirt - the Nevada Lunatics).

She's on the train downtown to meet up with Deb, and they're going to the brunch with many other localistas.

Last night we had dinner in North Beach. Matilda was only occasionally squirmy in my lap, and the food was yum and...Hey, I've got leftovers in the fridge for lunch! Hello, linguini with clam sauce.
