Tonight, I'm working concessions for God Is a Scottish Drag Queen: A Christmas Special!  When "God" was came to Olympia the last time, the show was so funny!  I don't doubt that this'll be a great night, also!  I'm really looking forward to it! :D

Just starting to listen to the new West Side Story soundtrack. So far, so good. But they haven't started singing yet.

I believe I read that they mostly used the NY Philharmonic, with some additions by the LA Phil (Gustavo Dudamel conducts).

In response to DR John G.'s query last night about what to eat for supper, I neglected to offer this:

A pork and hash browns nativity scene!

DR Jrand71, I am happy to learn that your uncle's cats will go to the same home. I'm not sure I can call my three "bonded," but I hope, if they survive me, they end up in a new home together.

Your club sounds nice, DR Ron Pulliam.

It seems that way to me, but I don't really have much in common with any of the folks who go there.  They are all from here and grew up together and went to school together.   

I spent eight of my first nine years here, but we moved away in 1957.  I went to school through third grade and have renewed acquaintance with some of the classmates I had then.  They are nice people with their own families and friends.

I suppose if I haunted the club's bar and became a local character that I might get to know more folks.  But...no.

Do they groom one another?  Do they share their eating bowls?  Do they all get on your bed to sleep?

If so, regardless of how they may relate otherwise, I'd say they're bonded.

I have to keep telling myself that it is Friday.

When I woke up, it felt like Saturday.

Then, I began wondering if I had completely misjudged yesterday and, having done so, completely missed the birthday dinner for my cousin's fiancee, Sharon.

I can see from the bottom of my computer that it is the 3rd, and Sharon's birthday is the 3rd.

My perception of time can be fickle, at times.

Is this how you are spending your days, DR singdaw, creating fabulous things out of food?

No wonder you are so tuckered so early each evening.

I DVR'ed Annie and will get around to watching it sometime. No hurry on it, I'm enjoying reading and hearing all the reactions from everyone else.

Today is the busy one. I have to be out of here at noon or a little before to top off the gas tank (price as of yesterday was holding at $3.36 which it's been at for a few weeks), then go play a memorial service, then come back home and get ready to play a show.

TOD

Not much, these last few days and the upcoming couple of days. Mostly catching up on TV stuff. I'm looking forward to seeing how they've handled the season finale of La Brea which has been a fun mind bender.

At the awards ceremony for people who did not take their own advice, I expect to receive at least an honorable mention.

This morning I woke from the first dream in a week that I could solidly remember. It involved time travel, and I ultimately couldn't figure out what was what.

I did record "Annie", but I am highly skeptical about watching it.

I endured the Huston version. I liked the Disney version.

I saw a live production in San Francisco.  It was presumed to be pre-Broadway as a revival. John Schuck portrayed Warbucks. This version added a new song for Warbucks, which I thought added nothing to his character.  That said, it was a thrill to see the show intact as it was meant to be seen.  It had a non-revisionist cast which was perfectly rrehearsed to put the songs over very well.  This particular company did not go to Broadway so far as I know.

I loved that live version.
