I'm home!  I've only been home for about a half hour.  We had marvelously marvelous time.  The party was a reunion for the cast and crew of Olympia Little Theater's production of Shakespeare's "The Tempest."  I ran the sound for that show.

Not everyone involved in the production came, but of those who did, I got to chat and ketchup with most of them.  It was a fun party and I'm glad I went. :)

Her first one was very good and it was just her and a piano.  This time, she's going to have a little combo play with her.  I'm really looking forward to this.

Here's the description of this show:

Quote
Confessions of an Ex-Unicorn, a Cabaret

Come get caught up on the gory details of the romance gossip you've missed out on!

On Sunday, February 8, Alexis Moore Eytinge performs a charming and humorous cabaret of show tunes, dating adventures and the realities of becoming an adult. Yvette Starkey will be accompanying her at the piano, Amy Roesler on bass with Rachel Ann Becker and Kate Rosalie Brauneis on back up.

Ever have that co-worker who comes to your desk and starts spilling too much information about their date last night? Add some lively show tunes and you know what you’re in for! Song titles include: “Taylor, the Latte Boy”, “Miss Byrd”, “I Could Be Jewish For You,” “Lovesick” and “Arthur in the Afternoon”.

Audience members will be treated to comic discussions of how our sex education system does not prepare us for romantic relationships, how to share your feelings appropriately — a skill we all need for our everyday lives, not just dating — how emotions get backed up and can get in the way of the big “O” and an exploration of how our culture perpetuates unhealthy relationships.

Adult Content, All Ages until 8pm $5-10 sliding scale

Catching up on the last few days posting.

Since we were mentioning Woody Allen.

My favorite lines from and older Allen films (1969-1994)

I finally had an orgasm, and my doctor said it was the wrong kind.

Don't speak.

I once stole a pornographic book that was printed in braille. I used to rub the dirty parts.

Hey, don't knock masturbation! It's sex with someone I love.

Good morning, all! I slept late after several weird dreams, of which I now remember bits of one with Judy Kaye and Rebecca Luker, and another about my fear of heights and a movie set.

I have to deal with a difficult Paint Your Wagon number today, and the hard work for Encores! is finished.  Before the orchestra reading on Feb. 27, I have to assemble this new book for the Tuba-Bass player and copy the missing 16 or so bars in "Hand Me Down That Can o' Beans."  I suspect there will be sme cosmetic work after Feb. 27 as well.

TCB, is your new Wolfgang Puck oven one of the pressure ovens? Do let us know how you like it. I've long hoped someone would invent a speedy oven that is not a microwave. That said, I'm having trouble getting my head around the concept of a pressure oven. But I'm still struggling with the 3-D printing concept, too. (WHAT?? 3-D printing? How can that be?)

Magnesium threonate is the best form for migraines, IMO. But in the throes of a migraine I'd think that any form of magnesium would do. My osteopath now has no more headaches due to mag threonate. We are both using Life Extension's Neuro Mag. Pricey, but I use the cheaper forms daily and keep Neuro Mag when I feel a headache coming on.

Not sure.  When the casting was announced, there's a rumor (unsubstantiated) they were heard doing a duet:

Tune of I’m Flying

[Brian:]  I’m Brian
[Allison:]  Brian, Brian, Brian!
[Brian:]  See my kid, sing out loud
Look at me, feeling proud,
[Allison:]  He’s Brian

No lyin'
- (Brian, Brian, Brian!)
See my kid flyin’ high
Watching her, it’s so satisfyin’

[Allison:]
Dad, you are the best Dad there can be
I know you will be so proud of me

[Brian:]
I’m Brian 
- (Brian, Brian, Brian!)
Raise a glass, drink a toast
You will soon hear me boast

Ratings glory-bound, hope they fix the sound
There will be no glitches, it’s their second time around

[Both:]  Says Brian.

Magnesium threonate is the best form for migraines, IMO. But in the throes of a migraine I'd think that any form of magnesium would do. My osteopath now has no more headaches due to mag threonate. We are both using Life Extension's Neuro Mag. Pricey, but I use the cheaper forms daily and keep Neuro Mag when I feel a headache coming on.

Next time I need magnesium, which will be awhile, I will try the threonate.  I hadn't heard of this.  I get most of my migraines at night so popping one wouldn't be easy to do.

I have been sitting here refreshing my screen like crazy waiting for my niece's swimming results.  She did great. And thankfully she swam 8 races and was not disqualified. They are extremely picky at the meet she is at. So far in the relays 4 out of the 6 teams (not hers) have been disqualified.

How very disappointing for the teams that were disqualified.  Congrats to your niece.

This pool is known to disqualify a lot.  Sadly the #1 team from my niece's pool got disqualified. They would have come in first (not that they get medals or anything).

Why are they disqualified?  Is it something the children or the coach do wrong or for something they can't really help?

Sunday evening greetings!  Today was a Lima day for us and I woke up at 4:30am, an hour earlier than necessary.  Needless to say, I had to have a nap when we got home.  Slept for 2 hours in my recliner and feel much better.

FJL, would anyone really want to claim to be the father of Peter Pan? At least of that Peter Pan?
TCB, is your new Wolfgang Puck oven one of the pressure ovens? Do let us know how you like it. I've long hoped someone would invent a speedy oven that is not a microwave. That said, I'm having trouble getting my head around the concept of a pressure oven. But I'm still struggling with the 3-D printing concept, too. (WHAT?? 3-D printing? How can that be?)


Yes, Jeanne, this is one of the pressure ovens.  You don't use the pressure part for all of your cooking, but I assume that the pressure is why you can cook a 10 lb. turkey in 45 minutes.  I will let you know how I like it.

Researching the ingredients on the homeopathic Zicam I could only find the reason it says "no zinc".  Apparently spraying zinc in your nose is not healthy for it and the original Zicam with zinc was pulled.

There are many reasons the swimmer can be disqualified.  Each stroke has its own rules. You can only touch the wall with one hand in back and front, and two hands in breast and fly.  The turns are a big thing.  For relays it is the turns or if you go in before the swimmer before you touches the wall.

The biggest thing is backstroke. You cannot turn to look for the wall. And the turns have to be done a certain way.

Concert was wonderful. Perlman doesn't announce what he's going to play until he plays it. So there was no program.

He performed Beethoven's Violin Concert No. 8, which was playful and joyous; Grieg's Violin Concerto No. 3, highly melodic; and a Ravel Sonata plus some Fritz Krizler pieces. Highly enjoyable.

It's weird - one of my cast members today reported that Cathy Rigby, doing some flying in Seussical (why is anyone's guess), had a wire break or malfunction, falling eight feet to the ground face first.  According to my cast member, several teeth broke and there were bruised ribs and such.  But the weird part is that there hasn't been one thing about this anywhere on the Internet, so either it's being kept a big, big secret or it didn't happen.

Here's the description of this show:

Quote
Confessions of an Ex-Unicorn, a Cabaret

Come get caught up on the gory details of the romance gossip you've missed out on!

On Sunday, February 8, Alexis Moore Eytinge performs a charming and humorous cabaret of show tunes, dating adventures and the realities of becoming an adult. Yvette Starkey will be accompanying her at the piano, Amy Roesler on bass with Rachel Ann Becker and Kate Rosalie Brauneis on back up.

Ever have that co-worker who comes to your desk and starts spilling too much information about their date last night? Add some lively show tunes and you know what you’re in for! Song titles include: “Taylor, the Latte Boy”, “Miss Byrd”, “I Could Be Jewish For You,” “Lovesick” and “Arthur in the Afternoon”.

Audience members will be treated to comic discussions of how our sex education system does not prepare us for romantic relationships, how to share your feelings appropriately — a skill we all need for our everyday lives, not just dating — how emotions get backed up and can get in the way of the big “O” and an exploration of how our culture perpetuates unhealthy relationships.

Adult Content, All Ages until 8pm $5-10 sliding scale

Well, I'm back from seeing Alexis' one-woman cabaret show, "Confessions of an Ex-Unicorn."  It was a delightfully delightful show about her relationships...and she got pretty personal! ;)
