YAY! Thanks for the plug, Ptaoughmnn! Jeez, I wish the City of Ottawa were on here. . .. I'm getting a bit phreaked out about ticket sales....we've sold enough to all shows to have broken even, but I wake up every night covered in sweat, thinking of all the kids standing behind those big, velvet curtains, and they slowly part...... the lights come up, and they find themselves looking out at a crowd of thirty people..... .. . . .. . .....

If the Psillllyville Royal Dictionary did, in fact, get left behind in the mad retreat to Psillyville 2, methinks it could be recreated. If we each contribute one word per day, and put someone (not me, she says quickly) in charge of the compilation thereof, should be done in no time. We already have two words today, ept and clement in nonalphabetical order. I will post my contribution shortly.

...Must think about this....

When you're on stage the lights are in your eyes and you really can't see past the first two rows. Just put yourself in charge of seating so's you can set the stage for a great audience look.

This is so true. It is amazing how little you can see from the stage. Often you can not even hear the audience that well. Really helps if your the kind that is nervous in front of crowds.

Well down here, in Wellywood, in Middle-earth, in Wellington in the middle of New Zealand at the bottom of the earth, peeps is going nutz over elves and special effects and make-up and sculptors who sculpted all the tools and implements for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, as it is set to premiere this evening. The stars are promenading down the red carpet as we speak, and Peter Jackson has gained weight again as he always does during filming. And I don't believe I will go watch this one either Ya see, I is not a real fan of special effects that look like special effects, and my attention span is longer than that of an 18-year-old and I don't like alll the choppiness of virtual movies, and bah humbug and all that jazz............ now Jazz, there's something I could get excited about.....

I would take that class!!

I read an article today about the stupid names parents pick out for their kids. I'm not on twitter, but some crazy people named their baby Hashtag. Seriously?? Why?? Poor kid...

[Celiac Mindwarp]

A kid here a couple of years ago was named IKEA. Nice work Mum and Dad.

[JNBunnie1]

Why do people do these things to their children? That and the normal name with a weird spelling

thing... Just why???

[Celiac Mindwarp]

Hormones? Brain frog?

We saw that--and said the same thing--poor kid.

[elye]

Well, that kid's saving grace will be if he ends up a six-foot two, 250-pound linebacker on the school football team. Hashtag will work, there... . . . ..but if he's a scrawny little mathS nerd...... .. ....oh, dear... .. . . ... ...

[jerseyangel]

Em--even worse, I think the child is a girl.

[JNBunnie1]

Perhaps her parents wish for her a noble career at the Waffle House.

[jerseyangel]

Then they should have named her hashbrown.

We had a neighbor that named her daughter Precious. When her daughter was a teen, she went to court and had it changed to something like Michelle or Karen.

Okay, here's a way to highlight the gender equity pay gap:

Coffee will cost 10 per cent more for men than for women at Wellington's Victoria University Law School campus this morning.

My stepdaughter went to school with a kid whose last name was Case, so of course his mother named him Justin. But the bad part was, every time she'd take him somewhere she would announce in a VERY loud voice, "Just in case you were wondering, Justin Case is here!"

The kid is grown up now. I wonder if he even speaks to his mother anymore.
