How would you spend $9.07 at the iTunes store? I’ve gotten a few music suggestions from various people recently but I love options. Suggestions welcome. Thanks Mom and Dad, the iTunes card was well spent (almost). A Kohls card (also a birthday gift from the parent creatures) was also well spent this morning- plus a […]

Treading Water
Last night found me balanced on the bathtub ledge trying to determine whether or not we have a water-saving shower head installed.

I’m 2
Today marks the completion of two years’ work at IU Libraries. Go me. Time can be such a mind frag. Has anyone ever heard that a bird dumping on you is a sign of good luck? I’ve haven’t. Poor Libba! A vid of Eileen tearing it up- because it’s Friday and I feel like what […]

The Indiana Daily Student ran a review of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf on Tuesday and I completely forgot to post it. You can find it here. I was playing around in my LibraryThing account and discovered a cool widget that I will have to put on the blog. Until I do, be it known […]
I had an appointment with my doctor this morning to stock up on allergy-related prescriptions. I am NOT going to suffer this year. The opening weekend of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf went very well. We had a good sized-house opening night and received great feedback from folks after the shows. There is a review […]
Happy birthday, Tower of Power. I was delighted to find some vids on YouTube of the band in its early days. For comparison:Knock Yourself Out, 1973. Check out Lenny’s suit!Knock Yourself Out, 2006.

Sorry to those I have been neglecting! Russell’s job is keeping me busy. Yes, I know, I’m not sure how he cons me into it either. People seem to think that we have co-founded Starrynight Productions. Folks, I have my own career to worry about. That is all Russell. He has done all of the […]
