Blast it, M, you stole my beginning. I suppose I'll have to go with...

Yo! Everyone! Fantasticks is playing one more night, an encore performance because they sold out tonight and had to turn lots of people away! So you should go!

It's all of those possessed brooms carrying buckets in Fantasia...
(Translation from liarspeak: I don't know).

My mom is completely terrified of those possessed broomsticks. When we used to watch Fantasia when we were kids, we would have to fast-forward that scene while she closed her eyes or she would have nightmares. She saw it in a movie theatre when she was little and those brooms really freaked her out.

Fantasticks is a musical, a rather cute one, and this particular performance of it is highly recommended. There are only... seven? people in the cast, and the audience is seated on the stage, which makes for a rather intimate show with audience acknowledgment. (My foot was "watered" twice, and my dad was nearly given a haircut with hedge clippers. We strongly recommend sitting in the front row on the left-hand side, by the way.)

If you do go, you'll see my brother, who's "not really Native American." My sister will be harder to spot, as she's dressed in black and hiding either in the garage or up in the loft most of the time. Also, keep an eye on the Mime. She's fantastic.

Fantasticks has that wonderful song, "Try to Remember the kind of September when life was slow and oh, so mellow." It's a great musical.

Someone on the developing team here loves their commas. I have to go through and delete extraneous commas every time I go to proofread.

Oh well. They don't call me Commagirl for nothing.

Umm... Krebscout, could you point this out to your hubby?

I did. He chuckled resoundingly.

A chuckle can be resounding?

I checked this message board earlier on my mother's new iPod Touch. I think I need to get me one of those. They're pretty awesome.

Anyone want to buy an iPod?

Nope. I've already got one. [ = I love my gadgets.

How much and what capacity?

Post by **C is for** » Wed Mar 10, 2010 10:52 pm

Oh, sometimes it's tempting. But I'm already really plugged in as it is, and I don't need more of that. Chances are most of my future significant others will have one (leaving odds high that my permanent significant other will) and I can just play with his.

Significant other is a really weird turn of phrase.

So is turn of phrase.

Speaking of turn of phrase, one that has crept into my speech patterns is heard tell.

It's an 8 GB, 4th generation. And I have no clue how much I should be selling it for. Maybe I should check that out...
