Reading the posts is more interesting than the show, so I missed the treadmill bit. Maybe it will be On Demand?

Is ONCE that good? I wasn't crazy about the film, so a musical of it interests me even less...

Game of Thrones is up for best musical?

I'm sure that next year we'll hear about "Game of Thrones: The Musical!"

Regarding the raccoon issue, lots of folks here have that problem with possums. A friend of mine had a recycling can crusher in his garage and a possum decided to build a "fort" and carried up dozens of crushed cans to the attic!

As for us, we just have snakes that migrate between the attic and basement, depending on the time of year. At least they're quiet!

I'm really glad we don't have snakes. I don't think I could deal with that!

I hope I win a Tony Award tonight!

I've given up on that.  I never win anything!

I win drawings and such, but this sort of award, if there is one award, I come in second. If there are three, I come in fourth.  Quite irritating actually

OK, this is petty, but we've been winning a lot of awards and great reviews for the new doc, just won one today, and the person who did the most work (moi) and had the most creative input is rarely, if ever mentioned. I worked harder on this than anything in my life and think it's my best work, so it's just a little unmotivating reading how beautifully crafted it was by someone whose main contribution was the funding. Then again, it would never have been made without the funding, so I should be grateful, but it just bugs me enough to not be completely thrilled by those kind of accolades, and it bugs me even more that I can't be completely thrilled, if that makes sense.

Makes perfect sense Edi -  congratulations on the win and shame on those who don't remember why  they won

Couldn't agree more

I'm reading posts too fast. Therefore, I read:

I think the skinny girl should eat what she wants!

I try to do lots of exercise and eat healthy (lots of fruits and veggies, no desserts/snacks/junk food).

quiet snakes migrating through the house somehow is not a comforting thought to me

I thought that was a fantastic opening number.  I wonder why they didn't switch the camera back to Berry Gordy when Neil said he had been banging Diana Ross?

I love Neil Patrick Harris.  Period.


I have absolutely no interest in seeing Matilda.  Which is sad, since I enjoyed both the book and the movie as a child.  That song was dreadful.

How's come Annie's voice was booming during her solo lines but not when she was singing with everyone else?  Prerecorded.....or was DR GEORGE really quick on the microphone buttons tonight?

the opening number was indeed big - and loud - and not that interesting due to really bad choreography - I suspect it's Rob Ashford and will be surprised if I'm wrong - but whoever it was is not good.  NPH is game for anything and fine.  I would have preferred an opening number from one of the actual shows, as in days of old.

Why is Will Chase sitting with (Jrand62's favorite) Debra Messing? Aren't he and Audra an item?

DR Cillaliz, I was happy to read that Callie's health may be okay, and I hope that continues to be the case.

Your experience with the raccoon reminded me of the night in 2008 when I discovered my apartment was infested with bedbugs. I suspect you are in for several difficult months and I wish you a huge success getting rid of them and in not losing too much money in the process.

Raccoons are easier to see

Matilda looks completely uninteresting - if it's a great show you certainly wouldn't know it by what they performed.  Worst thing about the show so far?  The canned screaming.  When you have shots of the audience and everyone is just sitting there like so much fish, and the sound is people orgasmically screaming and hollering something doesn't mesh.  It can't all be coming from the peanut gallery where the kiddies are - it's canned.
