This week on
my Twitter feed, my usual Sunday night grumbling about The X Factor gets livened up with some grumbling about the Evening Standard Theatre Awards.
It's definiely a "wish I could hibernate" day.

"Adele's music voted most popular to fall asleep to." Funny way of phrasing "most likely to send you to sleep."

@OughtToBeClowns Play titles are always getting songs stuck in my head. Double Feature last year got me into a whole Rocky Horror loop.

I see YouTube hits continue to be the ultimate measure of success #xfactor

So, Random George isn't in Union J for his singing or his charisma. It really is 100% because of his hair, isn't it? #xfactor

"If I got through to the semis I would LITERALLY die." Careful Rylan, Barlow will hold you to that. #xfactor

Twitter's gone very quiet. I'm worried Bruno Mars might have finally caused the entire nation to lose the will to live. #xfactor

Tom Wells not winning Most Promising Playwright = the entire Evening Standard awards are now invalid.

I mean, Red Velvet's great, but it took Lolita Chakrabarti 20 years to write, so I'm not going to hold my breath for the follow-up.

Five Star's "Rain or Shine" just played in the bar at Hampstead Theatre. Now it's "Footloose." Someone's clearly dug up a Now album.
7:34 PM - 26 Nov 12
I'm sure that usher keeps doing a little dance to "Footloose," but I can never quite catch him doing it.

The ushers are practicing their audition pieces. As actors go, they make great ushers.
