Tribute to Fun-Dip The above
Tribute to Fun-Dip
The above article is an homage to one of my childhood faves, Fun-Dip. But the writer, though quite pithy with his “sand you can eat” line, misses the boat on
what was my favorite part: the Lik-a-Stix. Sweet, chalky goodness in my book. Don’t know what I find so appealing about a [...]

random evening
Stacey and Matt came over and we watched Coupling, then sang through Kiss Me Kate, then Joe Rawley came in
and we trade singing arias and showtunes for a while, then Ryan Schuette IMed me and wanted to know if that was acutally a picture of me, which I assured him
was, and so realized I needed [...]

Party planning
Never turned the ringer on my phone back on after rehearsal last night, so I missed several calls and my wakeup alarm to meet Scott and Ed at Katz’s this morning
at 7. I woke with a start at 7:15 and flew over there, apologized profusely, and we set to work on planning for June [...]

On the lunar eclipse
Watched the eclipse for about an hour, from as soon as I got home from my last choir rehearsal at St. John the Divine to about ten minutes ago. As the light of
the moon grew smaller, it reminded me of the butter melting in the pot for the Rice Krispie Treats I made today. [...]

Two new quotes">Two new quotes
One sent to me by Nancy Curtis (hey, what a nifty website! who did it? ), by Kahlil Gilbran:
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
The other is from Topsy-Turvy, where Durward Lely (played by Kevin McKidd) says:
There’s g’aye few like us, and they’re all dead.
Running late, [...]

I hate PCs
Stacey Frankle brought over her Gateway becuase it was refusing to play DVDs. I deleted and reinstalled the the software, and it seemed to be playing fine. But
when I plugged in some speakers to check the sound, got the most hideous staticky sound imagineable. Checked the speakers by hooking them up to my Mac: [...]

As if this one isn’t enough
Greg Kahn badgered Melissa Maxwell into contributing to my blogsphere (I guess because he felt guilty because he hasn’t contributed in over a month). That
effort can be found here. My brother and I have yet another one; although I have yet to contribute to it, David’s first post is very good, indeed.

I love my friends!
Mentioned to Mary Morrison that I was understudying Papageno this summer, and that while I did not wish ill for the guy I’m understudying, I did hope that he
might get a better offer that would let me have the opportunity to perform. Got this email from her today:
Do you know the name of the [...]

Only a year late…
but I’ve finally gotten the DVD of the Mikado almost completed. Only thing left is to add the opening credits over the overture (heh), and can then start
duping. Only problem is that in iDVD, the recording rate is set, not VBR, so it has to be on two DVDs. Unless someone knows [...]
