Non-chocolate candies.  I shall mention "Fruit Tingles" much loved by Princess Mary of Denmark. Some of the Hainsies have partaken of these tingles. I suspect all my other favourites would be unknown to North Americans. (DR Jose may have some knowledge but I think he was too involved in chocolate tasting when he was here).

I love Swedish Fish, but I made myself so sick on them once.
Yes, it appears I documented it too. http://singingnymph.livejournal.com/202366.html

Benny & I were going to get together & sing Beatles songs as an ongoing jam thing, but I ended up moving home to Fresburg before we ever could. That has nothing to do with his band, but they're really good & I hope I get to go.

And now I must already get ready for work.  

Which somehow entailed awakening me to announce "It's dark out!" - I agreed, and suggested he wake me up when it was morning. NO sun - NOT morning! (I'll take that "hour" we "saved" back now, thak-you.)

And frost on the windshield - one more insult!

And elmore is on Pacific time, and not here to keep me company.

I think I'll sulk.

Tuesday morning greetings!  Here I am at work and won't return home until tomorrow evening.  I'll drive to Columbus after work tonight and be there (in Westerville, actually) for an all-day workshop tomorrow).  The workshop's about online social tools - blogs, RSS, wikis, podcasting, instant messaging, etc.  I'll probably be the oldest one in the class  ::)

My sentiments, exactly, although I do like caramels, jelly beans, candy corn (mixed with dry roasted peanuts - yum!), Starburst, and Brach's Butterscotch hard candy.  I also like coffee flavored hard candies, like Brach's Special Treasures, which come in 4 flavors - Irish Creme, Swiss Mocha, Amaretto, and French Vanilla.

Good morning, all!  I'm will not be around much the next couple of days until I finish the enormous pile of underscoring.  It isn't difficult work, but it's frustrated by the general lack of awareness at LACC about the musical side of a new production.  I have no workspace, no intern/student/assistant to run the mundane work of taping, fetching, or photocopying (why the hell doesn't there seem to be an accessible photocopier in the theatre dept?) and as aresult, I wander from pillar to post looking for a corner to set up shop andf work.  I love the students, my friends in the show and the band, but I've yet to be officially introduced to any of the faculty.

I should have stayed in the "music dept." all night and worked but I had to be out at the end of rehearsal and all I could do was schlep everything back to my hosts, work, crash, get up and do some more and inb another hour I'll schlep all this crap back down to LACC and wander around looking fgor a work space before I can continue to work.  This is most unseemly, unprofessional, and counterproductive, especially since my goal is to get around 90% of these bits into the band parts tonight and the entire show numbered!  I am not unhappy; I am fruistrated.

I feel your pain, and I'm so sorry. I cannot imagine putting on a original musical and not having a convenient work space for anyone involved with the music. It really is unthinkable.

I've been operating under the delusion that I would be auditioning for OLIVER! this coming Sunday. However, I had it pointed out to me yesterday that the auditions are actually next Monday and Tuesday, so this gives me another day of preparation. Imagine my surprise if I had shown up at the theater, and it was dark!

I have two hours of DVR programming from last Thursday and Monday to watch.

I also recorded quite a bit of TCM last night. They were showing the pre-Code films that just came out in a boxed set of DVDs (the first version of WATERLOO BRIDGE, RED HEADED WOMAN, and BABY FACE) plus a documentary featuring actresses talking about those pre-Code days.

I didn't buy the DVD set, thinking I could get it used later if I liked the films. I have never seen any of them before. I will be checking them out over the course of the next week.

DR Elmore - I was going to suggest the college library, until I checked their hours.  They close early!

I probably should have been given a temporary staff pass or something to permit me to stay inthe builfing after hours - if such things exist - but I  should have been more emphatic on my own demands four months ago!  I'm certainly having a good time, but I need a bona fide work space of my own - preferably not far from rehearsals - as a music prep dept.  If this were a major production, I'd have farmed out the incidentals to an assistant or an unemployed friend, and the copyists would be dealing with the librarian work as I turn in numbers.  They would have set up the numbering on the show which I finally did with the MD yesterday when a lot of easy cues that could have been notated as lead sheets severasl weeks ago were finally notated by me.  

One question today - hinging on how quickly and accessibly we get to a photocopier -is if we copy the 9x12 sheets of manuscript, will we locate a paper cutter to cut the 11x17 sheets of paper down to size?  It's gonna be a day of cutting and taping, buit only after the writing's done. Oy!

Much of what I'd want to watch tonight is reruns. (nip/tuck is a new episode.)

I think, however, that I will rewatch the season premiere of VERONICA MARS that's showing tonight so I can see if the producer/writers/director placed any clues as to the rapist's identity in this first episode.

DerBrucer:  Not to disagree with MattH, but my kids loved A Wrinkle in Time two years ago, when they were 8 and 6.  From the mouths of babes (and/or my kids), here are books they've loved recently (they're now 10 and 8 ):

Dragon Rider
Eragon
Eldest (sequel to Eragon)
The Golden Hour
The Bartemeus (sp?) Trilogy
