Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
When I was in high school, the local playhouse did A Little Night Music--not a bad version of it, surprisingly enough.
I've got the Carnegie Hall Tribute to Sondheim CD. It has a terrific rendition of "A Weekend in the Country" as the penultimate song (the final is "Sunday" from Sunday in the Park with George, which always brings tears to my eyes for some reason).
Peg Bracken! I have a copy of that book. Calling it an "etiquette guide" makes it sound more formal than it is. But it's amusing, and worth a read to amke sure those things you think of as harmless quirks don't drive other people crazy.
Ah - I thought people kept trying to make me NICER.
I *am* polite, almost always. It's when I stop being polite that blood tends to flow in voluminous quantities.
So you need to quit smacking me with your fan when I'm polite but mean! :p
I do not read to search for truth // I know the truth // the truth is hardly what I need
Loving you is not a choice//Not much reason to rejoice//But it gives me purpose//Gives me voice//to say to the world//This is why I live
Gah! Slays me every time-- so beautiful, but damn, so, so despairing. Poor Fosca. What a disaster of a character.
Huh. All the Sondheim reminded me, of course, of Sweeney.
And...I found this snippet:
"In 1995, the Barcelona cast recorded a cast album sung in Catalan."
I may have to track that down.
I think I've heard some of it, actually.
Hi all!
Just yesterday my daughter was asking me if she could dress up as Wonder Woman for Halloween. Now thanks to Kat that answer can be yes.
And now the Japanese and Russian Coast Guards have large cutters steaming into Puget Sound. My boss refers to this as "CoastGuardCon".
One of the roving fireboats is spouting water, the same greeting they gave the fleet when it arrived for Seafair a few weeks back; the boss (we call him "Badger") says that's why the Russians and Japanese are here - free boat washes.
Timelies all!
Meh, I got nothin'
Huh. All the Sondheim reminded me, of course, of Sweeney.
Come visit DC, my theatre is doing Sweeney! I promise to find you lots of nice gay boys. I'll bet that if I asked around I could find some gothy ones, too!
