I think the radio is trying to make me cry.
I mean, first there was this piece on the BBC early this morning that I woke up just long enough to hear about broadway musicals and about how nobody is going to want to see an original musical anymore because of the economy and they would rather see Shrek because they have that on video at home! And then they went on to say that if it were made today, Sweeney Todd would never have made it because it was too dark and complex and good. ;_;
Also, they played two tiny, tiny little snippets of [title of show], which I have been rather curious about, so my ears are like, "Play more, play more!"
And then, this morning proper when I am actually awake, they have a piece in which they discuss the fact that people are lately not buying books very much, except for kids. Although actually that makes sense and it is kind of sweet, and they have said that this is strictly a money thing and that library participation rates point to the fact that people are still reading, so I guess that is entirely understandable and not something to be upset over.
I am feeling much, much, much better today. Still slightly crazy, but much better. I have watched a great deal of anime in the last couple days, and I will talk about it later. I simply have these two observations about the Campbell Family of Victorian Romance Emma:
1. You know, Monica is kind of awesome.
2. Viscount Campbell ... Why?!
Now, I need to go finish up my room. My getting sick allowed it to slide back a little, but this cannot be allowed. It must be cleaned. I leave you with this article:
"Wildlife Experts Ponder Gender of Santa's Reindeer"
But other aspects of the Christmas story support the all-girl sleigh team theory, Blue-McLendon said.
For example, would a boy reindeer really sport a shiny red nose that almost glows?
"Females like accessories," said Blue-McLendon, who in 2003 led the school's cloning of a white-tailed deer. "I think that fits because females like bling. We like shiny stuff."
As for the reindeer games, forget the rough antler-smashing stuff. Blue-McLendon suggests a female Rudolph would be more up for "games of wit."
And as for the name, Rudolph could certainly still work.
"Why not?" Blue-McLendon said. "I know women named Charlie."

(Bryan Fuller's next show, perhaps?)
