I went on a last minute Oscar screening binge in order to make some more informed choices regarding the awards ceremony. I'm talking a helluva lot of movies in a short span: Brokeback Mountain, Good Night and Good Luck, Capote, Junebug, Cinderella Man, Wallace & Gromit, Hustle & Flow in the three days preceding the ceremony. (North Country & The ( Read more... )

The benefit performance took place last evening. What a weekend. The whole incident regarding Atticus which overwhelmed me on Thursday and Friday. I won't get into it, as I really don't feel like rehashing it all. Anyway, on that morning I had rehearsal with Annette at her house for "These Are My Children" and for the first time it really clicked ( Read more... )

It's a long story, but Atticus was found today, safe and sound. He seems to be doing well and is currently at home in Westchester with me for the interim, because I don't plan on leaving him unattended at any times anymore, just to be on the safe side.

Atticus went missing today. I am at my parent's house with no clue what to do.

So I revisited Piazza. First time since the departure of Kelli O'Hara. The show is still touching and affecting and a beautiful experience. Vicki is beyond perfection. Aaron is finding his place and the rest are still offering brilliant work onstage at the Beaumont. And now, Katie Clarke... She is gorgeous, with looks to turn heads. She acts well, ( Read more... )

So the Golden Globes were on this evening. The first time I had watched them in 2 years (as I was stranded in Singapore sans a television a year ago. Think I would rather be there without a TV from time to time). So it appears that "Brokeback Mountain" is officially the front-runner for the Oscars on March 5. They were the big winners of the ( Read more... )
