Eep! Why is Alan Cumming no longer cast in 2004’s “Phantom of the Opera”? Come on, Joel Schumacher, can’t you at least give me some motivation to see this movie? Unimpressed, random casting director. Unimpressed.
And Alan? I love you, you’re wonderful, and you will always have my undying affection, but could you please pick some movies to be in that I won’t have to force myself with clenched teeth to go to? Garfield? The Mask II? Please. For your fans.

::laughs:: I’m famous! I’m the one hunched up under the red umbrella. XD (I imagine better photos will soon be up at Drive for Democracy, hee.)
Neither rain nor snow nor slushy mess gloom of night could keep these Dean supporters from their meetup! And Zephyr Teachout is truly an inspiration. *is not worthy* Ah, more and more reasons to love Howard Dean and his campaign. These people are fabulous! And we flyered a bit in 30th Street Station, which I thought was just gravy, as for the first time, I really felt like I was contributing–even in a tiny way–to something huge that I really believe in. I totally have to do this again sometime. And frequently.
Oh dear. I’ve reached that joyous point in the paper-writing process when I decide I couldn’t care less and start putting stuff in for the sole purpose of keeping myself entertained. But at least I’ve refined this practice, so that I can make it work with the rest of the paper and make it seem like it belongs. Jolly good.
Yay! Just under an hour before the Dean Drive For Democracy comes to a close on the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum! Who feels confident enough about her paper to be there? Booyeah.
In the absence of any Dean gear in my closet, I think I shall wear my “Republicans for Voldemort” shirt. Muaha.
♥ Bill Amend. Two more days!
Whoo!!! Saddam has been caught! Let’s just hope it’s really him and not another of his body doubles. :D
I never liked the idea of the Iraq War (Osama? What? Oh, look! Something shiny!), but now that the damage has been done, at least now it’ll be a little easier to start sweeping up the pieces. So Bush, get off your high horse and let’s get the UN and some other countries in on the reconstruction efforts, especially now that we’ve seen what a bunch of crooks Halliburton is made of, overcharging the US $65 million. And because honestly, has the US ever succeeded in rebuilding a country alone?
Hey, look! Snow! Hey, look! Unfinished songwriting paper!
I feel like a crotchety old man. “It was the youth that was responsible! All those pesky teenagers with their ‘Rock and Roll’ music taking over the radio… Crazy hippies! Why, in my day, we respected our elders, and we got quality shows like ‘West Side Story’ and ‘Man of La Mancha’! Today, you get ‘Seussical’! Young hoodlums!”
::hobbles off with a cane::
So yes, I am blaming the downfall of musical theatre on the emergence of youth culture. (But Harold Prince agrees with me, so there!) My classmates are going to love this.
I think I shall call it “Dubarry was a Lady, Angel was a Drag Queen: The Evolution of the Schism between Pop Music and Musical Theatre, From Cole Porter to Jonathan Larson”. I shall call it squishy, at it will be my squishy.
I think that in many, many, many years, on the sad, sad day when Johnny Depp dies, the mean amount of acting talent in the world will go down at least 30%.
