Back from running hither and yon most of the day.  As it turned out, the hither was much more interesting and productive than the yon.  But I got a GREAT Shake Shack cheeseburger out of heading in the direction of the yon, so it wasn't a total waste.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

And on that note (pick a note...any note), I'm off to see a local production of Oliver!  I'm sure that it'll be very good.

Be back later!

Didn't go for the margarita. Am enjoying a nice gin and vermouth, however. Hopefully, it will make writing a little easier.

Good evening.  We had a very busy and good March, so I decided to close at noon today. I didn't go to Good Friday services, I rendered unto Caesar and did my taxes.  It's the one time of the year I'm really happy my take home is less than half of my old take home pay.   I'm 1000% happier, so it's not a big deal.  Luckily we had a good March so I had the cash on hand to pay taxes and put some in my IRA.   I'm glad that's over. 

I admire that you have based your work around what you enjoy doing and not the pay check.

I tried that....wasn't happy.  Life's too short

Too many people would not have had the courage to make the changes you did.

Thanks. I've been lucky that the changes I've made have worked out.  I'm just way to independent not to change.

Time to go meet Paul for Mexican food and either beer or margaritas

All three sound great!

I had a chicken chimichanga and a strawberry margarita.  It was very yummy.

Ah, thanks Jane.  As many here can attest, you have to be willing to work hard if you want to work for yourself

This is a night of work - preparing track titles for three projects, starting on the liner notes for all three, at long last.  Had some fruit.

We have no plans for Easter. We may go out for dinner at the last moment but no other plans. My sister in Minnesota works for a devoutly Catholic man so they will close early today for Good Friday.


Even though it was in the early 80's, the people on the London tour that I escorted were shocked that most of London closed down from Good Friday until Sunday.

400?!

Well, considering I have some 2800 titles in my "file" (spread across DVD, BLU and laserdisc), I suppose finding out that 400 of those are horror isn't exactly an improbability.  It's just hard to picture.  And my stuff is all in shelves, arranged by various directors, categories, etc. that are meaningful to me.  So, hard to tell.
And I thought I was anal!

Good Friday services are my favorite of the 4 days.  The music, the ritual... it's pretty great.  Somehow, "Will I" from "Rent" made it into a meditation on one of the Stations of the Cross, as did "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother".... that's how we roll :)

I have been to a beautiful Easter service but never to Good Friday.  It is interesting to read how beautiful it is.  The Easter one I went to was filled with beautiful music and in a large, beautiful, Presbyterian church in Los Angeles.  I don't remember the name of it but I do remember a bit of jaw dropping on my part.  We saw our neighbors there who I'm sure were very surprised to see my mother and me there.  It had been my idea to go and I asked my mother to take me.  I was probably around 11 and was thinking of converting to the religion I thought was my mother's.

I realized I wanted to be Jewish & then found out my mother had also chosen to be Jewish & not just because my father was.



Considering you could have been a crazy Presbyterian, I guess we should be glad that you are Jewish!

Why are none of the theater sites even mentioning that Mr. Griffiths just starred in a hit production in London of The Sunshine Boys with Danny DeVito that is supposedly coming to Broadway?

Because Mr. Griffiths will no longer be connected to the project.

On the leading man front, I am now getting responses from the ones who didn't respond yesterday, and I have to tell them the role may be filled. I hate this.
I think TCB was volunteering to help with the overflow.
