Has anyone here read or heard of A Million Little Pieces?  A bunch of folks I know read it or heard that it was good.  It's the non-fiction account of a guy's drug addiction and resulting downward spiral.  It's the most succcessful Oprah book ever... :)

Anyway, I had just added it to my list at booksfree.com (like Netflix) and then this huge smoking gun article (www.thesmokinggun.com) just broke researching the stories told in the book and finding them to be largely false.  And apparently he shopped the book around as fiction but could not find a publisher until he made some minute tweaks and called it non-fiction.

I'm sure it's a compelling story if so many have enjoyed and recommended it, but I'm taking it off my list.

Just caught up on yesterday's posts


Jose - I had heard about all that terrible violence there in Richmond.  There are times when I could cheerfully welcome back the custom of drawing and quartering criminals and the barabarians that perpetrated this terrible act would be prime canidates for that treatment  IMHO

So sayeth the life long liberal Democrat!!

More comfort foods:

Mashed potatoes with butter
Tapioca pudding with pure maple syrup (I call it poor man's flan ;))
Toast with butter dunked in hot chocolate with evaporated milk
Really good bread with butter and a diet Pepsi (I'm just weird, aren't I?)
Bagels with peanut butter and a glass of milk

;D

Funny how tomato soup and grilled cheese is on almost everyone's list!

It may have to become the official meal of the HHW!  :D

Walty and Killbot are laying next to each other on the guestroom bed.  Next to each other, but not touching because heaven forbid that anyone would think they actually like each other.  No, I'm sure it's a coincidence that they just happen to be sleeping on the same corner of the same bed in our spacious two bedroom apartment.  Geez!

I am officially caught up!

What a great group we are.

Tom, you're right, up is a preposition. I went to all that trouble and still got it wrong. Oh, well.

Thanks to all those who made good wishes to me re the Radio Wales show. I think I've mentioned it before (regarding the partial show) but I'll fill you in again. We never thought we would need to "record" the show while it was on the air (even if we thought of it we didn't have a device) because it would be at the Web site and George was going to record it anyway. Little did we know the problem at the Web site. So I didn't leave Wales or Ireland with a complete copy of the show. As soon as George e-mailed me about the problem I e-mailed Beverley and the producer (Bridget) but didn't hear back from them. George said he never heard back either. I e-mailed when I returned to the States as well but I still haven't heard anything. I do not think there will be a full copy of the show. I listened last week (January 4th) and Bev spoke on air about my visit but said nothing about the glitch. 35 minutes is better than nothing. It ended with Bev saying the switch to Sport Time was about to happen and then she played the Shirley MacLaine spot from the benefit. We talked a little more about Chita and Barbara Cook and she played In Buddy's Eyes from Follies. We talked about Sondheim (we are both big fans) and we talked about what's coming up in the season on Broadway, she played another song (I can't remember because I don't have the outline in front of me) and then we wished everyone Happy New Year and it was over. It's about 20 minutes and it would be about 10 minutes of chat and 10 minutes of music. That's the synopsis of what was missed.

The New Year's Eve postings were quite rich with wonderful postings. Thank you all for such intelligent and emotional words. It made catching up fun.

And now another shot of Dublin. The round tower (officially called the Records Tower) is all that exists of the original Dublin Castle. What is now Dublin Castle is actually from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is more like state apartments. They did find foundations and parts of walls from the original castle during construction work 20 years ago but those portions are not easily photographable (is that a word???). Still fascinating to see.

The San Francisco Chronicle review of "Lestat":

http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/01/10/DDGCQGKMFA1.DTL

I don't know when the reviewer saw the show.  I agree with much of what he says, and disagree with some, too.

Vixmom - Really, the performance itself was just a performance of the show as it always is (Howard McGillin was phenomenal as always, but then he was just as great when I saw him at a typical performance a while back), except the crowd was wild and over-the-top in reactions, in a good, celebratory way.  Then there was a little vignette where one of the cats from CATS handed off a ring (as in the PHANTOM plot) to McGillin.  They brought on lots of people who have played the lead roles and they all performed "Masquerade" together.  Lots of beautiful speeches and standing ovations.  But all of the stuff that happened after the actual show itself seemed to be being filmed by lots of "official" cameras, so I suspect it will all be available on TV or DVD and such.
