And, if rumors are to be believed, gay.

I'm a linen nut too! I have way too many set sets and duvet covers. It's almost embarrassing. And linen spray is the best! I'm partial to peppermint or eucalyptus. Sadly I can't do lavender because I'm allergic to it.

Oh, if you insist. From Sondheim's Saturday Night. One of his early and lesser known musicals.

It's all good. Although, if we hung out in RL, I do admit that I would try change your mind about Sondheim (and hopefully I wouldn't be too obnoxious about it). And I'll admit that I've walked out on shows that many consider genius. Confession time: I walked out on Anything Goes at intermission. I just can't…

Blasphemy, indeed! However, if you saw the 'Little Night' production with Catherine Zeta Jones as Desiree instead of her replacement, Bernadette Peters, I can sorta/kinda understand the urge to leave. I saw the production with both women and I was underwhelmed by Jones and, as much and I love the musical and know it…

I'm pretty much with you there, LaComtesse. Les Mis and Phantom were my tweenage gateway musical theatre drug of choice, but a theatre degree and many years later I've finely honed my (snobby ::wink::) tastes. But that said, Les Mis unlike that Phantom crap, holds a special little place in my heart. I don't love…

OMG, Adobe_Diva, thankyouthankyouthankyou for bringing this magic into my life!!! And wow, Jason Segal has better pipes than I thought he had.

"Not gonna lie, I sang the shit out of that song when I was a wee teen and deeply committed to musical theater/gratuitous sadness."

Agreed. I've already posted some videos of Hathaway doing some kick-ass Sondheim. You don't publicly perform Sondheim if you don't have the chops. The only thing I noticed, which I don't find bad per se, is that she's singing a little lower than her natural range. In any case, as someone commented above, that may…

I'm hoping Sal will be employed by Peggy's new firm.

I'm spending my Saturday night basking in the modern marvel that is artificially produced conditioned and cooled air. And watching season two of My Life on the D List. Good stuff!

Do you have your hair stylist do it? I get my eyebrows darkened by my hair stylist but I never thought to ask about eyelashes. Also, I'm guessing they must use a different dye for eyelashes than eyebrows/hair because that stuff smells and itches/stings a little bit.

Hmm... I never considered this before, but I'm not sure how well it would work or if it would look good on me because I have very light blonde (almost translucent) eyelashes. I do each and every work day, but I hate applying mascara because I'm just not very good at it. My thin lashes can't take much of the stuff, so…

My take away from this article: tighty-whities should become somewhat see through when wet, right?

I love fantasy and sci-fi. Thanks!

Yup, I'm in NYC. And sure, that'd be great! I read a wide range of things. Currently, I have following waiting for me on my Kindle: Under the Banner of Heaven, the new John Irving novel, Live From New York (SNL book), Team of Rivals, Vowell's Unfamiliar Fishes, Bechdel's Are You My Mother, Harkness' A Discovery of…

HA! I just read your post aloud to my husband. I also recap my reading with him, but he just pointed out that I don't share it with our cat. Poor left out kitty.

While hilarious, this post just reignited by desire to join a book club. But it always seemed so paradoxically difficult in the big city. Maybe I should just stick to online book clubs.

The His Dark Materials series, from not too far back in the day, is a superbly written young adult series. Yikes..okay, I just looked at the first book's publishing date: 1995. Okay, so I guess that's firmly back in the day.

It sounds like your wife should really talk to her father about this. She should put it out there that although you all love going on vacations with them, grandma's toxic, hateful behavior is damaging to your child and your family. I hope your wife has the kind of relationship with her father that she could say that…
