My nephew, Herman, is headed off to California to play in the Rose Bowl parade. His high school is the first from Lexington, Ky., ever to be chosen to play in the parade. As you can imagine, he's terribly excited. They have to take a long bus ride to Atlanta before flying out. (I pity both the bus driver and the airline.

)

They are last in the parade. I don't know if that means they get cut if the parade runs over time or what. But he has to haul his French horn around for 3 1/2 miles of parade ground.

I am happy. I have Season 4 of DAMAGES from the library. When they changed stations in the US (after S3), the Canadian station decided not to carry the show anymore.

I loved the first 3 seasons.

My favorite author (Kelley Armstrong) has two enovellas that came out in the past two weeks. I am trying to decide whether to buy them or wait till they maybe go on sale at some point.

They are sort of expensive ($5 and $5.99) for enovellas. Maybe they are longer than I think.

I am trying to decide how high to set my goodreads goal for next year (how many books I think i will read). I include e-novellas and children's books that are over 70 pages. But I don't include other kids books (otherwise that would really increase my total).

Not sure whether to do 100 books again this year. Or to aim for higher. If I do 150 I don't think I would get there. I could always do 100 and then add more if I think I can do it (you can adjust your goal).

I also don't include free ebooks that i get on my kindle unless they are novels. I have lots of cookbooks and stuff like that.

It's time for the big push to win the Broadway World Best Special Theatre Event Award - only three days of voting left - please tell all your friends to vote asap - and if you haven't, really, don't make me bitch-slap you from here to eternity and hell and back, just do it. It only takes a moment, as Jerry Herman said. You just register your e-mail address and then you only have to vote in our category. We're currently being trounced by a show that had a cast of thirty, and a group that has membership in the hundreds - hard to fight that, but we must fight the good fight and get the little guy to win. We can do it if we all pull together and vote, vote, vote (that is three votes, although we'll need a lot more than that). Spread the word, word the spread, won't you?

I used to read that much. Then grad school changed my reading habits for the worse.

One last parody YouTube for 2012 -

Here's a Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend PARODY on YouTube - sung by Sheree Sano

CHATTING IS A SHOW'S BEST FRIEND - inspired by the NY Times front-page article by Ben Brantley, on standing ovations for the Encores City Center GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES which starred Megan Hilty of SMASH, a true 2012 highlight

Just trying to stay out of "trouble" - LOL!

That's horrible, DR Jrand62.

And scary. You have to be so careful shoveling snow.

Had a good work session - took a bit longer than planned, but it's all done now and it's going to be a very good show.
