"Everywhere I look, baby, all I see is me!"
1. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUNSPAWN!! Have a GREAT day, hon. ♥
2. WTF MOSQUITOES. How long are your lifespans, SERIOUSLY.
3. Okay so I'm not a narcoleptic after all. Guess you guys were all right on that count. :P Five hours of sleep last night - I was REALLY good and went to bed at 2.30am yesterday - worked out pretty well for me. Did not prevent some epic sleepiness at work, but those usually coincided with, you know, the mid-morning and mid-afternoon moments when it would probably happen anyway. I'm so enamoured of this 'getting enough rest' thing that I'm actually going to go to bed again! Before 2.30am! Why, soon I'll be sleeping at 10pm! (Although first I would have to leave work by 10pm in order for that to happen, hmmm.)
4. I have not been remiss in my Julia/Broadway love. REST ASSURED. I've been listening to Scott Alan's Keys, as everyone has been, and man oh man. I love West (mainly because Julia sings it and it's a pretty tune - the lyrics are really NOT so hot), but I think song-wise, I actually prefer a couple of others like Lisa Brescia's And There It Is and Megan Hilty's The Dance. Oh, and Blessing, of course, which is gorgeous - well-written, well-sung, and a fantastic sentiment to boot.
5. IN THAT VEIN. Guess what I'm going for in January? :D Scott will be having a CD release party at Birdland on Jan 12 - I've already booked a table for weazel_luv, my sister and myself. XD I'm not counting on Julia being there (the guests haven't been announced yet, for one thing, and for another, I refuse to set myself up for a disappointment), but if he gets HALF the people on his CD to turn up, it'd be awesome - hai, Norm? Heidi? Sutton? And Lisa and Megan? YES PLZ I WANT SOME OF THAT SINGING AWESOME. So yeah, I'm excited. :D Thanks, irnbruise, for helping with the booking! :D
6. OH HAY. New Julia google alert! I love that she bawled Seth out over the car thing, mwahaha. Way to not read your own emails, Seth. I got inordinately excited about the fact-drop that she played Bianca in Kiss Me Kate in her first professional production because OMG the thought of Julia singing Too Darn Hot is, well, TOO DARN HOT. Except I keep getting the movie mixed up with the stage production - Ann Miller sang (and danced a ridiculous tap number to) Too Darn Hot in the 1953 film, but it isn't actually sung by Bianca onstage. BOO. GOT ALL EXCITED FOR NOTHING. Not that I'd actually ever be able to HEAR Julia sing Too Darn Hot, since this was millions of years ago - but well, the idea was nice while it lasted.
7. 30 ROCK, ZOMG!! I've decided to use my mealtimes productively by finishing up Season 1 of the show (so that I'll have a chance of catching up to Season 3 sometime in this millennium) when I haven't got new episodes of The Colbert Report to keep my food company - and EEK. Fighting Irish was a HILARIOUS episode. MOLLY SHANNON! I love Molly Shannon. I also loooove Tina Fey (I LOVE that moment when she sighs and says she needs to go and talk to her food, LMAO) and Alec Baldwin. (Who was randomly awesome as a slightly decidely evil lion in Madagascar 2, btw. Can you imagine the amount of flail that will ensue in my head when more news on his next movie starts leaking out?) Am really bummed that the box set for Season 2 isn't on the shelves here yet, or I'd just get that and save on download time. ARGH.
8. Now I'm watching Ann Miller sing and dance. Fuckity. I hate that she never danced WITH Gene Kelly. (They were in On The Town together, so he choreographed for her, a bit, but they never danced together. Instead he danced with Debbie Reynolds and Vera-Ellen until their toes bled - literally.) I think she's the only female tap dancer who could match him step for step and tap for tap. She's AMAZING. (High praise, from me, for I have fandorked Gene - and Fred Astaire, though to a lesser extent - for A LONG TIME.)
9. How's this for cheesy-awesome Broadway dance number? :D I think Madeline Ashton needs to be on Broadway RIGHT NOW.
- I looooove how this HUGE splashy production number goes from jazzy Broadway and sizzling tap to DISCO (it starts to go south at about 2:48!), LMAO. It's so bad it's AWESOME!
- Meryl does Marilyn! and belts! ♥ And awww, dumpy!Goldie and totallynerdy!Bruce Willis!
- FAVOURITE dance moment: 2:05! So sassy!
- Oh, Death Becomes Her, ILU. You so awesomely cheesy. I need to watch you again, stat.
10. Okay, how did I get distracted typing this for an HOUR?! AUGH. BED NOOOOW.
11. ETA as my iPod syncs - yoga yesterday broke me. *weeps* I can't straighten my arms without them hurting. WTF. I don't even remember what it is I DID to get them that way!
