Second, I totally goobered the lyrics on my song at the audition.  AARRGGH!! :P

What song did you sing?

The last verse and chorus of "No Time at All" from Pippin.

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, I'm casting about for some good reads. Anybody read anything outstanding lately?

I just started Lethal White, the newly released fourth Cormoran Strike book by Robert Galbraith (aka J.K. Rowling).  I'm reading it on my Kindle.

I'm on a hold list for that one, too. Love that series.

So, they probably knew the original lyrics. They still might have enjoyed your singing.

Same here. Three or four today.

Here’s what I’m confused about, sorry to be dense...

Does the message indicate that these three people fell for it and followed the so-called instructions, thus perpetrating it? Or is it a more random thing, and they might well have not actually sent the message at all?

Also, is it possible to delete messages from Messenger?

They fell for it and shared the message.

I went to my hoax message on messenger.  To the right of it was a little happy face and to the right of that little lines I clicked on.  It gave me the option to delete the message which I did.


It totally figures that these very people would have fallen for it. I shall take a little satisfaction in that. :)

And I don’t have those options on the iPad. Will check on the browser when I’m on the laptop.

I guess I was underwhelmed with the second book and stopped reading these.  The 3rd book, Career of Evil has more stars on Goodreads.  Maybe I will give it a try.

Watching Doris Day and Louis Jourdan in Julie. It's a lot of psychobabble, with Jourdan as a criminally obsessed husband. But parts of it are fun.

Did anyone watch or record the season premiere of Doctor Who?  I liked the episode and am looking forward to the season.

There were also pre-show and post-show segments that are (to me, at least) kind of lame.

Maybe they just thought you were taking the liberties of the Bing Crosby recording's re-write.   Yeah that's the ticket!  :)

It was still the era when pop covers of Broadway show tunes were the norm, right?

Here's Michael Jackson and "Morning Glow" (1973)

The "Pippin" cast  album was on Motown, IIRC.

You have to wear a wrist band, which had to be activated. I could also tie my wristband into a credit card, so I don't have to carry any cash or card, if I don't want to. That's a first.

Cool but I would still scary a credit card just in case.

Back from a really great show - so many laughs and a great audience who were totally with the show.  My allergy attack last night practically did me in but I got through the show and the two songs I was involved in, so that was good.  Some lyric flubs in the title song from The Brain and then later in another song, but the singer got through it and the audience was with him.  Our newbie did really well.  More in the notes.
