WatchI was deeply disturbed and shocked today to discover that the Rodgers and Hammerstein Catalog had been sold to the Dutch.
You can read about it here… http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/22/theater/22rodg.html?_r=1&ref=arts.
Americans do not value their heritage and it makes me truly sad.
Then I saw this video and there is no way I will EVER be sad again!

If those who can’t do teach, then those who can’t teach criticize.
Hell fucking yeah. Anyone who has ever said “those who can’t do teach,” has clearly never taught. It requires more talent than most occupations. Not only do you have to have a wide breadth of knowledge, you also must have the ability to communicate your knowledge in a way that doesn’t alienate your...

“You’re a married woman! You can’t be talking about another...”

I was having a pretty awful attack of sciatica last night that kept me awake till 6:30am, allowing me to watch all of BIG LOVE, Season 3. Holy crap it was good this year!!! I swear each season is better than the next. If you aren’t watching, you are freakin crazy.

Eating
jendunlap:
Eating and food has actually been the most difficult thing through all of this. Whenever I start to take a bite of something, ANYTHING - it’s like this very visceral sense and feeling, and emotions come flooding back to me. I’ve never really experienced anything like this before. I can’t eat more than a few bites before starting to cry or tear up. I guess I am grieving? The most...

I MADE A DIFFERENCE!!
So last month, there was this article about how the deficit reduction plan for NY was going to lead to major cuts in the programming for cultural institutions. I currently work at one, NY Transit Museum, and formerly worked for the Prospect Park Zoo and Wildlife Center. I was deeply concerned, particularly for the Zoos because they were going to lose ALL state funding as of next year.
When a zoo...
How about those Tony Awards!!
Oh wait… those were the Oscars? I’m sorry. The fact that Fing Hugh Jackman couldn’t stop dancing, singing, and gaying it up confused me. Am I crazy or were those the weirdest Oscars ever? It mostly felt like Hugh Jackman was torturing us all because Australia didn’t get any nominations.
Aside from the ridiculous amount of pointless singing causing the show to run THIRTY...

This week has to end soon.
If I get bossed around by one more child, insane person, or asshole this week, someone is going to die. I can’t believe my professional life right now. My masters degree might as well be a gum wrapper at this point…. Ok done venting the negativity.
Come visit me!
I’ve officially begun giving tours on Thursdays and Fridays at the New York Transit Museum! YAY!
I’m usually busy with classes in the morning, but in the afternoon, starting at 2pm, I am pretty much just wandering around the museum, yelling at children. I would love for any of you to come and wander with me!! You’ll get a tour and a seriously large hug. Seriously….

2009 Westminster Dog Show Results!
And the winner is…..
Champion Clussexx Three D Grinchy Glee, whose call name is “Stump.” This little fella (who by the way is a Sussex Spaniel) is TEN YEARS OLD!! That makes him the oldest dog to ever win Westminster. Quite an accomplishment for an old boy like him. And look at that mug!

The House approved $50 million in recovery funds for the National Endowment for the Arts on Wednesday as part of the economic stimulus bill. The legislation, called the American Recovery and Reinvestment bill, was not included in the Senate’s version.

Anna Paquin won an award? For acting?!? That would be like nominating Kevin Connelly for an acting award. Oh wait, never mind…

Good call Stokan.
Call me lame, but I got a little choked up about Heath Ledger winning the GG. It still amazes me how sad it makes me. What an absolute waste. Regardless, I am so happy he won. He absolutely deserved it.
My Whereabouts
Not sure if anyone out there cares, but maybe even just one of you may be wondering why I haven’t been posting consistently as of late.
Well, for starters, I’m working three jobs leaving me no time for thoughtful tumbling.
Also, I’m a little miserable at the moment and don’t wish to spread my misery to others. I think that’s pretty freaking nice of me.
And finally,...
