Swiped from dianora2, Chewbacca wants to wish you a Merry Christmas. Make sure your sound is on!

If you have high-speed internet, Go see this great little piece of work written by and starring my friend Mike McCafferty. It’s very funny.

Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol will be closing this Saturday, on Christmas Eve. So, naturally, The Oakland Press just posted their review. The reviewer, Judith Cookis-Rubens, is great and usually does insightful, well written work. But it’s funny, for any show outside of Oakland county, they wait until the show’s almost over to print their review. So odd. Anyway, here it is, and it says I have a “Sharp vision”. Isn’t that a brand of TV?

This article about Scenic Designer David Korins has a couple of amazing set designs done in small theatres. (Click on the “Design Virtuosos” link, then the “David Korins” link! In fact, all of the designers there have some really cool stuff to look at, so browse around!)

Lastly, the whole family had a a great time this morning cleaning both kids bedrooms. Max, at 5, just wants his toys accessible, and doesn’t ever want to put clothes in the laundry, so his room was what you would expect. Maggie, on the other hand, is a 7 year old pack-rat, collector of knick-knacks, craft fanatic, voracious reader and budding diary writer/journalist. Therefore, every surface of her room is overflowing with STUFF. Rock collections, stuffed animals, books, more little figurines and collectible thingies than anyone should have, boxes of markers, crayons, colored pencils, and a wide, wide variety of things upon which to write, color or sketch. Sadly, about 1/3 of the ‘cleaning’ of her room meant just moving stuff to her “workshop” area in the basement, where she does some of her best creating. So, now THAT area is in need of a day-long cleaning!
