I’m Not Hindu, But Today I Believe In Karma

Actually, most religions believe in some type of karma-like principle.  Christians believe that “vengence is mine, saith the Lord”, and therefore that God will see ultimate justice upon those who wrong us. Today I received an email which served as concrete proof that we (my husband and I) are being wronged by some.   (Some [...]

I Think I’m In A Midlife Crisis

When I was 10, my Big Christmas Present was a clock radio.   I loved that thing, with its glowing green digital numbers, fake wood and light-dimming switch.   To me it represented the first real feeling of control over my personal choices.   I could listen to whatever I chose, instead of always playing [...]

Man, I Could Go For A Coke At Burger King

Anyway, they did knock me out for those tests, and they [...]

In Other Showtune News

How did I sleep through the release of Brian Stokes Mitchell’s solo album? I just found out about it a couple of days ago. Only 15 months after its release. I must say, though, based on what I’ve heard it’s not my favourite Musical Stage Star Goes Solo. Mandy Patinkin will always hold the #1 [...]

ARGH

Remember how I said I had “Defying Gravity” going through my head? Yeah, well, it’s back and it’s irritating me. The specific lines I’m stuck on are: Something has changed within me; Something is not the same I just want to scream out “DUH! If something has changed ergo something is not the same. Don’t [...]

Brain Worm

I have got “Birdhouse In Your Soul” as sung by Kristen Chenowith on Pushing Daisies STUCK in my brain.   Three days ago it was “Defying Gravity” from Wicked–as sung by Kristen Chenowith. Clearly Kristen Chenowith is possessing me.  Or controlling me.
