Skokie Public Library hosts Senior Wii Sports night. See the Flickr set here. They look like they’re having a good time! I recently heard that Russell’s 90+ grandmother has discovered the joys of Wikipedia and Google. She could not believe that no one had bought her a computer sooner (even though quite a few family […]

For those who want a discount on books: I got an email from Borders this morning urging me to visit the newly revamped borders.com (they broke off from amazon awhile back). They’ve increased the graphics (it’s a broadband world), made use of bookshelf browse (same idea as LibraryThing only prettier), and put more of their […]

For a fairly new corp to come along and upset one of the top scoring corps… Well, check out this YouTube user for full shows from Crown, Cadets and Crusaders (placing […]

Mom saw an article in the Herald Times (yes, the parent creatures are visiting, yay!) so we dropped by and watched ensemble last night at Bloomington High School South. We walked into the stands to Clair de Lune (which […]

Tempestuousness in the Park
Last night, I saw a tech rehearsal of The Tempest, directed by Ben Aldred and produced by our very own Monroe County Civic Theater. I’m a fan of Ben’s work (Marx Bros. meet Will in Twelfth Night, 2006) and was intrigued by his concept for The Tempest. Roy (Prospero) continues to bowl me over with […]
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 […]

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 […]
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. Featuring the original rhythm section (Garibaldi + Rocco + Chester) w/Santana. What is Hip?, 1973ish? White tails and limbs akimbo.What is Hip?, […]
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 […]
