Birthday Surprise- November 29, 2007 Here's to growing older and wiser, and maybe, just maybe, less of a wiseass.http://www.ladycrumpet.com/archives/2007/11/birthday_surprise.php Suzanne Vega - Variety Playhouse 112607- November 27, 2007 Went with a friend to last night's show. It was a seated peformance, which was just as well. It seemed like we were the youngest people there. During the encores, people stood up and then sat back down! But the audience was very attentive and generous with applause. Suzanne's voice is still a wonderful blend of silk and steel. Her band was great as well. There was a good mix of old and new songs. Sometimes the show was moody, jazzy lounge, sometimes folk, sometimes rock. Great sounds and...http://www.ladycrumpet.com/archives/2007/11/suzanne_vega_varie.php New Haircut- November 21, 2007 It's been about a week now. I've been bored for a while, and that is dangerous when it comes to hair. So far, so good.http://www.ladycrumpet.com/archives/2007/11/new_haircut.php Remembering to breathe- November 12, 2007 I'm hoping not to overextend myself as we head towards the end of the year. Despite this worthy goal, within the past week I have had plans every day since Wednesday, which included movies (Blade Runner, Darjeeling Limited), a craft show hosted in someone's home, dinners with friends, and a birthday party for a one-year-old. Today I have a reprieve, then over the next few days I have book group, a book group discussion featuring my writing teacher's books, and a haircut which unfortunately is..http://www.ladycrumpet.com/archives/2007/11/remembering_to_breat.php Peeved- November 10, 2007 What will I be doing for my birthday According to the condo association, I'll be spending the evening at our annual meeting. Rude rude rude.http://www.ladycrumpet.com/archives/2007/11/peeved.php Blade Runner: The Final Cut- November 9, 2007 I first saw Blade Runner as a midnight movie in college. I've seen it both with and without Harrison Ford's narration, with and without the unicorn imagery. I caught this last version a few nights ago. The changes that have been made are relatively subtle; the film's Wikipedia entry provides details on what went into creating the final cut. I still love the dystopian noir imagery - seeing the future cityscape of L.A. on a big screen, with the Japanese-tinged synth from Vangelis - an...http://www.ladycrumpet.com/archives/2007/11/blade_runner_the_fi.php today's links (11-7-07)- November 7, 2007 Tina Fey is the prettiest picketer on the strike line. But she's much more than that, being the brains (creatorexec producerwriteractor) behind "30 Rock." See also: Pencils Down Means Pencils Down. Actors aren't asked to give up rights to the use of their performances and likenesses. Why should writers be expected to have their work used for profit across multimedia, without due compensation Go Tina! And here is one of the littlest picketers.
