Scared!

I know its the right idea but I am afraid of doing it. Like the Pain Painting this will be another delve inside and will explore some very raw nerves. I know it is time.But I am still allowed to be afraid, Right?

New toys

we are wireless (or will be when the router is a little more relaible) bluetooth and beautiful. they are running Tiger which is sexier than I had heard and a true joy to work with. I have also gone back to using Safari rather than firefox as it is actually fast now and has tabbed browsing, a built in RSS reader and is actually nice to work with.

Phew!

That was quite a fun party (if I say so myself), much dancing, and boy do I hurt now – still it was worth it! I overcatered again but my baked goods went down well. the eyeballs in the gory punch were particularly effective.I have now played enough and will get stuck back into my assignments again.yay!

Moving Right Along

It has been a crazy few days with my 10 year reunion, assignments and crazy packing and real estate bodgyness. I have finished all my assignments but I still haven’t sent off my folio so I am kbitzing over my net connection in the new place. Will get back to normal programming soon – I promise!

Nothing Is Too Wonderful To Be True CHRISTINELook at the way the moon behaves.Look at the way she paintsA silver ribbon on the waves.One thing I’ve learned and I’ll share with you-Nothing is too wonderful to be true.Each moment opens like a flower.The age of miracles comesEvery hour on the hour.Turn any corner,There’s something newAnd nothing is too wonderfulTo be true.If I’m perceived to beNaive to be the way I amLet people say I am a silly goofIs life a plateful? Am I grateful?Every day I am,It’s an amazing world in which we liveAnd I’ve got living proof.Look at the way the moon behaves.Look at the way she paintsA silver ribbon on the wavesLeading directly to me and you.Nothing is too wonderful to be true.Nothing is too wonderful to be true.Oh, can’t you see it? Can’t you see it?FREDDYYou know, I think I can.CHRISTINETell me.FREDDYUh…Magic can happen anywhereI knew this guy at campWho ate his t-shirt on a dare.My hotel gives away free shampoo.Nothing is too wonderful to be true.CHRISTINEGo on.FREDDYGeez…Sometimes God grantsYour heart’s desire-Once I was caller number eight;I won a set of tires.They held up that midgetWith Krazy GlueNothing is too wonderful to be true.FREDDY/CHRISTINENothing is too wonderful to be true.?????

Art by Bubbalah

You may have heard me write or talk about my kitten and her fascination for art. the good news is – she no londer seems to be attacking my canvasses!anyway, because this site has been devoid of cuteness for way too long, may I present the amazing artistic stylings of Kodachi!this table is way too boring!this work needs a touch of blue….They’re MY brushes!

Grasping at Straws…

Every time I look it gives me advice that always seems to relate directly to my art. This is from the Tarot services (like the last one I posted)The Present:Any project, transaction or enterprise you’re pursuing will not only be a success but will increase your worth substantially.and I thought that was pretty cool.. Definitely reassuringthen I read The Future: The Serious side of the arts will bring you hours of pleasure, so immerse yourself in anything from opera to ballet. Any enterprise or venture based on your own talents is destined for success.ooooOOOOooo!hey, I will take anything at this point!The Simpson’s episode where Homer sells a ‘sculpture’ is on right now.

Think of.. The Tonys!

It has a nice combination of humor and sweet personality.Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a great concept for a musical and I enjoy some of the songs, but I have to admit that some of the songs seem a little incongruous (Like Great Big Stuff – which is very Syncopated and wanders between rap and jazz and several others) usually I like incongruity, and I cant debate it gets in your mind…. The best bit on the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels album without a doubt is the message from John Lithgow that tells everyone to go out and buy tickets because he wants the money.The Light in the Piazza took out almost all the Technicals. It was the only non humorous musical on offer really and sounded quite pretty – but not really very original (IMHO) I thought it sounded very Derivative of Sondheim – nothing wrong with that, it was pretty – but I didn’t think it was anything to write home about.Speaking of Sondheim, they celebrated his 75th Birthday at the Tonys with a duet between Hugh Jackman and Aretha Franklin.

If I thought that what you thought was that I hadn’t thought about sharing my thoughts

I have been expanding my musical theater collection even more – I now have over a day of music just in musicals and have started sorting them into separate sub genres (like my metal collection)I like sub genres.I have been particularly appreciating Company (1970 – Sondheim) which has some brilliant comedic songs and typical Sondheim lyrics. I particularly like the song ‘the little things’ which is a brilliant look at marriage and relationships and divorce that still gives me tears in the eyes from laughing.Tick Tick BOOM! (2001 – Jonathan Larson) is a great rock style musical with a brilliant homage/filk/takeoff of the Sunday song from ‘Sunday in the Park with George’ this is worth listening to just for the drool line.
