The surgeon just called to confirm so it looks like this is it, it’s going to happen! I’m heading in on Sunday and surgery will be on Monday. If you’re the praying/finger crossing/vibe sending sort, please pray/cross your fingers/send vibes that:

- Thymus comes out cleanly with no [...]

A friend and I were standing in the children’s section of a local book shop. As we chatted, her daughter raided the dress-up box and was piling on costumes and accessories. Every time the little girl ran over I told her that she looked gorgeous and that one more string of beads or another tiara [...]

So Laurence has garnered a few more fans. How was this news met in our apartment?
Laurence’s reaction was “I’d definitely give lessons!”
My reaction was to roll my eyes but still happily accept the bottles of Snapple he brought home.
The Waiting Game

A bunch of people have asked what I’m doing right now and my pat answer is: Waiting.
I’m not writing much, not planning anything, I’m just waiting. Waiting for surgery, waiting to find out if I happen to have a thymoma, waiting to determine if I need further medical treatments, waiting to see if the surgery [...]

Recently I was flipping channels and Gossip Girl came on. Chuck Bass appeared in some sort of plum velour track suit with a popped collared shirt and an ascot tied neatly at his neck – on a basketball court. Unable to help myself I exclaimed “Oooh, Chuck Bass!”
Larry: Who’s Chuck Bass?
Beth: That guy. You know, [...]

I didn’t want to leave you hanging all weekend. Yesterday’s lyric was indeed a line from “You Can’t Stop the Beat” from Hairspray. Now that will be in my head all day.

Yes, you were all absolutely correct – yesterday’s line was from “What I Did For Love” from A Chorus Line!
How about today’s lyric?
“Let’s all stroke together, like the Princeton crew.”
Name That Showtune III

So a flurry of “what are you thinking?!” emails convinced me that in fact people were waiting for my Eurovision commentary. Who am I to deny them? Look to the right and you’ll see that I Twittered it this year and it was much easier. I’ll do it again on Thursday, so if you’re keeping [...]

You guys crack me up! For the record, it’s perfectly fine to send your showtune answers in email – as a great many of you have chosen to do – but I won’t be answering them individually since I’m just going to post the correct answers here. And feel free to leave your answers, whatever [...]
