Success. . .and all that comes with it

The Kitten got the female lead in her High School Fall play!

Wow, that's excellent! Congrats to her!

They're doing Cyrano de Bergerac and she's playing Roxanne.

A classic. Impressive!

She came home last night from the first read through feeling a little odd that she has so much kissing to do.

What? Excuse me what? Now hold on a second. Hold on one ding dang second. . .

(I was going to end this post with:

"But she does most of the kissing with the nice, handsome, doctors son.

Oh, well---it is a classic, after all."

But I then I thought it might be prudent to exercise some self censorship in these delicate matters.)

When the world comes together for a funny dance

Have you heard of this guy Matt? He was taking this dream trip of a lifetime around to several different countries, and he had this little funny dance that he did, so one of his friends said "do your dance" in Hanoi and I'll video tape it.

He did and they put it online. It got discovered and became a bit of an internet phenom. Then Stride Gum contacted him and said, "Hey, will sponsor you to go around the world with your funny dance". So he did!

Then, after the first trip was done, people were email him saying they wanted dance with him---so he got sent back around the world to dance with people.

Makes the heart soar.

Now if the Balloon Hat people would release that movie on video.

Gotta love the Free Music

And gotta love supporting indi artists. This is how the new music biz of the internet age works. Give away free music and provide opportunities to let people start the buzz.

Found this site here this morning where I could download three free songs from the band House of Heroes.

Another cool site like this, if you're into the free music, is NoiseTrade.com. You pay what you want or tell three friends and get these albums free. Got the new Sixpense none the Richer EP over there----yeah, can you believe it, they're back together.

Then of course, there's always the free weekly downloads at iTunes and Amazonmp3.com.

Do you know where there's more free music? Please--do tell.

(Oh yeah---and happy year day! 8-8-08! At least there will be some fireworks this time on year day--at the Olympic opening ceremonies!)
