Stolen from pauraque and malograntum: This past Saturday was Kerry’s birthday. In his honor, here’s this picture of a young John Kerry, shirtless and holding a puppy.

Let’s take this time to also admire this young and shirtless Howard Dean, carring lots of heavy firewood or something. Carry that firewood, Dean!

Man, with hotties like these on our team, how on earth could we lose? To a cheerleader, at that?

(The rest of pauraque’s entry has some great links, as well, so check it out!)

Nikki posted a particularly scrumptious picture of Matthew McConaughey to our Wall of Sex, so I decided to represent my tastes by posting the screencap of shirtless Simon from “Objects in Space.” Ko and I spent a few minutes appreciating the image, then I resigned to the fact that I would not be able to concentrate on my Jabberwock model until I rewatched the shirtless scene. I invited Ko to join me. There was much lusting and general droolage.

Me: So are you still a Mal fan?

Ko: Mal who?

Life is so good. Shirtless Simon is even better. And now I can return to my modeling projects with the renewed energy! Huzzah!

It compensates nicely for my disappointment this evening over “Lady in the Dark” auditions. I think my monologue and scene went very well, but the singing portion? I was nowhere near my best. I wasn’t actively bad, but I don’t think I’ll be impressing anyone. I just chose the wrong song for my voice that day, and I wasn’t really warmed up, and the acoustics of the room were pretty awful, and all those other excuses. Oh well, here’s hoping I’ll get the chance to redeem myself. The director said he still hadn’t decided if he would hold callbacks, so I guess I’ll wait and see.

In other news, last night I saw Aaron’s Shakespeare Cafe, and he was utterly fabulous. Usually I’m not as fond of watching Shakespeare being performed, preferring to read it directly, but I take exception for the Underground Shakespeare Company. They are utterly awesome and quite hilarious. And afterwards, I returned to the room in time to get in on Ko’s culinary action — she made enchiladas for the suite, the boys, and a couple friends, and I was afraid that the shenanigans would be over by the time I returned. Mmmmmm, my belly is still singing in gastronomic delight.

Revenge of the Playlist Meme! As I can’t edit posts after a certain period of time without them doubleposting on abeybaby, I just decided to doublepost for everyone!

  2. “We’re Not Sorry,” Urinetown — Clare, Renata,

  3. “Hello Mr. Zebra,” Tori Amos — Renata, Allison D

  4. “Happiness is a Warm Gun,” The Beatles — Renata

  5. Half a prayer, half a song; thou hast always been with me though we have been always apart. (Brenna should know, at least. Mom and Dad should know this!)

  6. “Eclipse,” Pink Floyd — Jume

  7. If you can do the Bart, then you’re bad like Michael Jackson (come on, Rebecca! I know you know this! It was on the CD you burned for me!)

  10. “Little Earthquakes,” Tori Amos — Renata, Clare

  11. “I Know,” BNL — Renata, Allison D

  12. I’m offensive, I’m a bigot, I’m a fraud, can you dig it? I’m a sexist, racist, homophobic, fat, pathetic putz. (*) (It’s been played on Air America, if that helps)

  13. “Another Brick in the Wall,” Pink Floyd — Renata, Allison D

  14. Some boys take dirty books to the john and give themselves a whack. I did the same with lithographs of thumbscrews and the rack. (*) (I’ve blogged about this song. It’s a bonus track for a new Broadway cast revival recording of one of my favourite shows. It’s from an early draft of the show.)

  15. “Jackie’s Strength,” Tori Amos — Clare

  16. Better than rain or rippling brook is a mug of beer inside this Took! (can you be more specific, Meghan? BTW, you guys are so lame for not getting this one. XD)

  24. (Translated from Romanian) I was born in a gypsy camp, in a glade in the wood. I was a rambler since childhood, like all the gypsies. But, you see, one day, I was stolen from my mom by the aliens. (*) (come to think of it, I don’t think any of you guys that read my blog nowadays could recognize it, though I know I’ve played it for Ko. Matt and Luke introduced me Senior year.)

  25. “Defying Gravity,” Wicked — Clare, Renata, Allison D

I’ll post the full answers tomorrow morning. In the meantime, keep guessing!
