Since we’re all on an Ahrens & Flaherty kick, let me mention that their newest show Knoxville remains one of their most beautiful and powerful works. Just now I went to play/sing β€œIn His Strength” from Knoxville and had to stop because I was crying too hard to see the sheet music.

I nearly turned it off at the Stuart Little scene, but later when he told Little Lad Sondheim (portrayed as a Baby Geniuses supervillain) β€œweighty affairs will just have to wait” I could have thrown my tv out a window.

Anyone have advice on how to flirt with the librarian without coming off like Prof. Harold Hill?

And no, I will not put myself through watching this just because Republicans are mad about Bad Bunny. I promise to make Republicans mad some other way.

I’m trying REALLY hard to not be the β€œlol sportsballβ€œ guy, but hearing my neighbors freak out and bark like seals every two minutes is stressing me tf out y’all. Imagine if I acted like this during the Tony Awards.

Scream 7 went all in on generative AI because they’re hell bent on keeping me from watching it. I was already on the fence, but this puts it way over the edge for me. It’s a shame, Scream was my favorite franchise.

This morning I took a zinc supplement on an empty stomach so right now I feel like I was jumped in an alley by a thousand farts.

Just watched Linklater’s β€œBefore” trilogy for the first time and Iβ€˜m now even more terrified of being known than I already was.

What are you animals doing to these library dvds so that they always skip? How about when you’re done watching just put the disc in the case and skip the part where you rub it on a brick.

I once had my wrist in a bandage to cover a small burn I was treating, but a bandaged wrist will always look like *that* so a coworker asked if I was okay. I explained what it was and they replied β€œWhew good. You’re way too cute to **** yourself.”

β€œCharlie said, β€˜Hell,
If l am guilty,
Then God is as well.’
But God was acquitted
And Charlie committed
Until he should hang.
Still, he sang”

Hopefully we won’t have to wait much longer for revivals of Othello and Macbeth! This is what Broadway is all about: fresh, exciting stories!!
