A Musical Weekend

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

I think I may have over-extended myself with the Tony blogging madness yesterday and I’m having a hard time summoning the energy to do the full weekend report. Of course, it’s more likely that my marathon Monday at the gym followed by a three-hour walk with Jessica factors into the weariness. Grease Sing-A-Long… Awesomeness. Haight-Ashbury [...]

Oh, Angela Lansbury, goodnight!

Yay Team Spring Awakening! If I seem a bit more geeked out than usual about the Tonys this year, I am. For the first time in my life, I’ve actually seen two of the shows before the Tonys. (In this case, Legally Blonde – which didn’t win anything unless I missed it; and Spring Awakening [...]

That was totally ________

Okay, I thought the 2nd Circuit Court just ruled that the FCC had to basically get over itself on the whole fleeting expletive thing. If Dick Cheney can drop an F-bomb, it’s basically becoming more acceptable. So, for the 3 Tony viewers out there who didn’t understand the awful sound editing on the Spring Awakening [...]

The only Tony I care about tonight has nothing to do with the mob

Okay, CBS, I get it. Hugh Jackman is appearing in a new show this fall. You’ve made your point to the Broadway geeks of the world. Now, why don’t you let us sit through at least one commercial break without mentioning Viva Laughlin. (p.s. Laughlin is a little shit town full of hicks, not slick [...]

Tony’s are on!

Monday, June 11th, 2007

We went out to the Haight Street Fair this afternoon (pics coming later) and I barely made it home in time for the first number from a musical. Curtains just doesn’t interest me beyond the fact that it’s always a pleasure watching David Hyde Pierce (who recently came out, to almost no one’s surprise).

We go together like rama lama lama ke ding a de dinga a dong

Well, I guess I know what I’ll be reading next… Michael Tolliver Lives by Armistead Maupin (Hardcover – Jun 12, 2007). Maupin says this is not a 7th book in the Tales of the City chronicles, but the story includes Michael “Mouse” Tolliver, Brian Hawkins, and Anna Madrigal, so it is the 7th book in [...]

I think this is called “Squee-age”

OhMyGodBarackObamaILoveBuffy8.04SoMuchCanIHaveJossWhedonsBabies? I’ll watcher his butt, too. My grammar not so much. And the last two pages… the biggest, baddest big bad of them all! Not Amy and Warren at all, but the entire frickin’ world! What a great concept for a season arc and borrows from his X-Men experience (new “master race” fears and minority [...]

I’m Shocked! Shocked, I Tell You!

And even though I couldn’t be there, the one-trick pony continues to use Utah Pride as a means of generating attention for his particular cause. He, of course, has the consitutional right to do so, I just think it’s in poor taste and distracts from the bigger issues of social injustice and inequality that Pride [...]

Some good news before another self-reflection/work rant

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

Amazon delivered Shortbus today and I wish I had time to watch it again before bed. There are times when I can be an arrogant, condescending know-it-all. I’m aware of this trait in myself and try to correct it when I notice myself exhibiting this behavior or when someone calls me on it. That said, [...]

Does anyone know anything about…

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

Does anyone know anything about applying to Law School? The soonest I could possibly take the LSAT is December 1 (unless I find myself in a new job that doesn’t have a conference in Washington DC on the September test date), and all the law school guides keep saying that while I can take the [...]
