I Got Palin'd! Or, My Letter from Tina Fey


So yeah, I get home from work today and there's a letter with big smackin' OFFICE OF THE THE GOVERNOR OF ALASKA. Swear to God. Turns out I must be on a mailing list for cruises or something... (the drawing is courtesy of my husband).


Oh, the irony...

No Day But Today - Well, Actually, 4 Days in September (Rent)

Rent closed Sunday, but somebody smart filmed the actually Broadway version (not the movie that came out in theatres, but the actually White Way on a stage musical).

To see where it's playing in your area, go here:

There's a limited 4 day engagement (Wed. Sept. 24-Sun. Sept. 28), so catch it while you can! We're going September 24th, 7 p.m., Pacific Standard Time.

I blogged about its closing back in January when I first heard the news, but my husband wins the prize for funniest reaction to being told Rent was going to be on Broadway no more:

"I guess that's One Hundred Fifty One Thousand Two Hundred Minutes 'til closing."

*giggle*

Here's a great look back on Rent by the NY Times:

Sara Krulwich, staff photographer for The NY Times, took these shots at the final dress rehearsal back in 1996. Taye Diggs, Anthony Rapp, Jesse L. Martin, Idina Menzel, Adam Pascal, and all of them look so young!

New California Personalized Plates

After spending way too many minutes of my life wracking my brain over a suitable personalized license plate, here it is:

The California DMV actually has a site where you can put in your personalization to see if it's already taken. Of course, all my first choices were - damn you, California, for having so many people!

I'll take a proper picture once I get the plates!  :-)
