They've banned facebook at work! Like, it is "explicity blocked." Oh noes!! Now how the hell am I gonna get through my days???

Got back from another Sweeney rehearsal tonight. Was fun, starting to feel a bit more comfortable. I'm still not really all that chatty (don't have time to be) but there are a couple of the girls who I seem to get on with ( Read more... )

Finally got through online to watch the memorial for Michael Jackson (or, at least, listen to it from the office). Couldn't get on to CTV or CNN, but through the MJ facebook site I got ABC. Tuned in for the end of "We Are the World." And promptly started crying. Dammit... Trying to get through "Heal the World" right now.

Thanks for the music & the ( Read more... )

From Jian Ghomeshi's Twitter: The irony: MJ is now #1 (+ #2 & #3) on USA, Cdn & UK iTunes sales charts. In death he achieved what he could no longer in life. Now we want.

Indeed.

There have been more songs on my music websites dedicated to and by MJ in the past 4 days than there have been in the last 4 years, I'd wager. I admit, I did one too and ( Read more... )

I'm really sad about Michael Jackson. More upset than I thought I would be (and I knew I'd be upset when the day came; I remember being upset just thinking about it as a kid. I remember writing in my journal at the age of 12 or 13 about how much I loved him and how sad it would be when we lost him). I don't want to and can't quite believe it ( Read more... )

This morning, I awoke to the 4 am birds outside the window - srsly, every single morning these things start chirping or mating or something, right as soon as it starts to get light. I have to throw a pillow over my head to get back to sleep. Damn wildlife. Usually I start contemplating whether or not it's wrong to shoot them.

Well this morning, ( Read more... )

So I watched the entire broadcast of "Chess In Concert" on TV on Wednesday night, and since purchasing the DVD last night have watched the entire thing once more, plus my favourite parts a few times over.

I'm a huge theatre geek, it's true. It's not a secret.

(Psst, this is a secret: I'm totally drunk, I had wayyyyy too many rum & diets, but I am, ( Read more... )

God I LOVE NEW YORK!

Quick theatre update before I crash:

Tuesday - went to see Shrek. It was good, quite funny and sweet, just a fun sort of show for the style that it was. The best part was that we had ninth row, centre seats, and that Sutton Foster and Brian D'Arcy James were in the cast. So there I was, mere feet from the stage, as Sutton Foster ( Read more... )

Booked a last minute trip to New York for next week, going to meet Oliver there. I'm a bit worried about my kitty but seeing as she's doing so much better this week than last I'm hoping there will be no problems.
Excited about the trip, though kind of confused how it's all going to work out - Oliver's never been before so he'll probably want to do a ( Read more... )

Wanted to do "A Little Priest" from Sweeney Todd for a while now. Finished my part, sent it to Erik, and voila! A couple of young Lovett and Todds! Took a lot of mixing time, but this was FUN, especially trying to get that accent (hopefully didn't ( Read more... )

Ooh! As theatre dork and Grobanite extraordinaire, I'm excited! I've been waiting for this forever and checking the stupid website almost daily. Wheeeeee! And just look at that cast! Josh Groban, Idina Menzel, Kerry Ellis, David Bedella (ah, my Frank'n'Furter...damn that man looks good in a corset ( Read more... )
