Gavroche is Fantine's brother?

Eponine's brother.

From Wikipedia: Gavroche is the eldest son of M. and Mme Thénardier. He has two sisters, Éponine and Azelma, and two unnamed younger brothers. He is also technically unnamed; the reader is told he chooses the name for himself, but is not provided with his real name. Mme. Thénardier only loves her daughters, and M. Thénardier shows no affection for any of his children. Gavroche is told by his parents to live in the street, because he would have a better life there.

Yu are correct! I screwed that up. Eponine is the daughter the Thenardier's prefer over their lofger Cosette.

I had a hard enough time remembering Gavroche's name.

I think he meant "Eponine." Gavroche is a Thenardier.

I did. But gavroche is not an older brother of Eponine; he's a younger brother. He's just a kid when he dies on the barricades.

My memory of the stage musical is that we never know Gavroche is Eponine's brother. And the Thenardier's do not show up at the wedding in the novel.

DR Ginny--your snow is headed this way (Buffalo).  We're expecting up to a foot of the stuff.  I wonder how my flight tomorrow will be affected.  Oh, well...

Yesterday, it snowed in the Olympia/Tumwater area!  Snow on Christmas!  But it didn't last long, at all.  It was already melting by the time I left my house at arount 1:00 pm.

Loved reading the various responses to "Les Miz." May try to see it this weekend, if possible.

My sister took my parents to see it yesterday with my nephew. Apparently, all of them loved it.

I have to say (well, I don't really have to, but I'm going to)...I thought that Russell Crowe was the acting and singing weak link of the show.  He was just two-dimentional in his acting and didn't really "emote" with his singing.  He wasn't as intense or driven as you would expect Javert to be.

Just my additional 2¢.

No, not her older brother, but her oldest brother.

Slow day here at work. Very sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow .

[John G.]

But I did get to listen to a few of the CDs I got for Christmas that I've uploaded to my MP3: Yeston's December Songs, Sweet Little Devil and Dear Edwina, which is as charming as Matthew said it was.

Hope to have time tonight to upload Eileen and Pipe Dream.

Except for "The Sum of Us," I can't say I've been a big fan of his work.

Good afternoon/evening.  Back from paying property taxes (don't ask) and from picking up the new vacuum cleaner I'd paid for the other day when they were out of stock.

It's so nice to see a higher price on something AFTER you've bought it.

Happy Mixed Martial Arts Caged Fighting Day to everyone (Boxing has become so passé)!

I'm sorry my doubts regarding his singing abilities are true, what a shame his acting didn't measure up.

Slow day here at work. Very sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow .

Our son, the paramedic, was sent home early today for that very reason.

Hola, Lola! is my fave!

He's so good in "Proof"!

That's a good reason.

It took me two attempts to make the last post.  Anyone finding the site sluggish?

I bought the "Les Misérables" highlights soundtrack MP3 downloads from Amazon.  Someone posted here that it was only $5.  Well, it's still only $5 from Amazon but iTunes has the exact same tracks for $15.99!  Since it seems that a complete recording isn't going to be released, I would at least rather have what is available (even without an electronic booklet ) and when the DVD is released, I'll probably make my own complete recording.

Just started watching "49th Parallel" from Powell and Pressburger. First time I can recall seeing a movie in which the composer gets an above-the-title credit. "Leslie Howard ... "and the music of Ralph Vaughn Williams in ..."

I'm having Chinese food for dinner and I'm waiting on the delivery. I'm over halfway through the Waltz from THE BIG COUNTRY.

Guess he had a really good agent.

Snowing!  Didn't take long at all to have a solid covering.

Had a wonderful visit with the Darling Daughter, then went to the editing room - where the missing folder was right there on the hard drive.  I couldn't believe it.  I looked six times at home, just to make sure I wasn't missing it.  How it could disappear and reappear is not known to me and I doubt would be known to anyone else.  Totally weird and wacky.  We put the stuff on again a second time just to be safe.

Thank you!  I thought he was Eponine's brother.

Well, one thing that I do have to do is go out and fill my bird feeder.  I've gotten in the habit the past few weeks of keeping it filled with seed.  It doesn't attract anything more exotic that thongs of sparrows (and an odd cardinal or two which the sparrows tolerate--they've driven off the bluejays that attempted to take over the joint).  These hungry birds are going through a 40 lb bag of seed a week, but I enjoy watching them.

Throngs--not thongs...

[Laura]

They don't tell us that in the musical, though. As far as the audience knows, he's just a street urchin. The other children of the Thenardiers are never mentioned.

[Dan (the Man)]

Welcome back, Dan (the  Man).  I have missed you.

Thank you, good sir.  I missed being here.
