vixmom - I thought your posts last night were really interesting (at least until you told us they weren't :)  )


I am glad to hear it, I feel like I lead a very dull and mundane life compared to the rest of you lot.  I'm thankful you all tolerate me here

Was it the postman?

It would be nice if when praising the music the reviewers would mention those that made it so nice

I was chatting with one of the girls of the congregation, she is entering high school this year and she mentioned she was interested in going into forensic science as a career .  I asked how she made that choice (expecting her to site CSI or Bones) and she replied, much to my surprise, the story of the Black Dahlia!

Perhaps some of these "reviewers" would mention the orchestrations if they were actual reviewers - that word has lost all meaning.  Most of what's posted here is from bloggers who do this to get free tickets or who just do it to get people to read their stuff.  It's the same everywhere now.  You think I take ONE of our Dial 'M' raves seriously?  How can I?  They're nice to get and I'm happy to share them, but I have no illusions about them actually meaning anything other than, like most of our audiences, they enjoyed what they saw.  I think we had one review written by someone who actually does that for a living, and it was a very good review but not a rave for the play itself.

Autographed to you personally, or would you prefer just the authors' signatures?

I ended up watching the show from backstage and I said goodbye to everyone except Matthew McElligott, whom I wanted to thank for the prodigality of his book signings.

DR vixmom, I loved I, Claudius and Claudius the God when I read them in the late 1960s.  Are you enjoying it?

Ah....well.....I lost my shadow today.  Precious went to the Rainbow Bridge at 1:45 p.m.

I will miss her very much.  I always sang "You are my sunshine" to her....and it was very true.

She'll spend one last night here at home and then go on her journey.

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.

I am so sorry.  Had you mentioned that she was failing and I missed it?

According to HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, one of the best reviewed films thus far this year (DETROIT) bombed at the box-office this weekend.

Is Hollywood losing touch with its audience?

I think so.
