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.

So while I held a vague hope that I would spend Thamksgiving basking in the glow of a happy mother with her longed for chair (albeit without arm covers) well...


I'm laughing harder at this story than the new Ghostbusters. 25 minutes into the movie and I've smiled twice. No laughs yet.

Did you expect it to be funny?

My cellphone battery is on its last legs and I can't get a new one until late January. Ugh.

Maybe I should give up the phone.

A new battery or a new phone?

And on that note (B...naturally), I'm off to rehearsal.  Tonight is our first full run-through.  We'll all get to see how it all fits together.  Pray for Rosemary's Baby!

Until later!

I hope it went well.

Went to Gelson's and got some cucumber roll, a really teeny-tiny dab of mac-and-cheese and some of their freshly made ham (three ounces) - fairly low-cal.

And listening to the Sibelius fifth, which I truly love.  These performances are all nice but the sound is still not what I love.  I also have the Bernstein and New York Phil remastered set on its way - I've heard that's very good and if it sounds as good as the Mahler set, that may be a keeper, although I played a bit of the Bernstein The Planets and I have to say it sounds pretty bad.

The big tune in the third movement of the fifth is one of my favorite pieces of music ever.

Listening to the seventh and final Sibelius symphony - I've really enjoyed this set very much.  The seventh, by the way, I would say inspired Mr. John Williams when writing the Fortress of Steel cue for Superman.

Tonight was the final dress rehearsal, the last chance to really mess up; and mess up I did.

Well, I suppose I could have given a worse performance, but not since I got sober.

At least our director could have warned us that we had a critic in the house.

Don't feel too bad, Tom.  When TAO did Cannibal: The Musical the second time, our then-president felt that we needed a review by our opening weekend, so a couple of reviewers came the week before we opened!  We absolutely were not ready, but that's the performance that was reviewed...and we suffered all the more for it.
