Anyone here use the Brita filter? Specifically, the faucet attachment method (not the pitcher method)? I accidentally bought a set of Brita replacement filters instead of the system I use (Pur), and now I'm stuck with them, and they're not cheap ($25). Anyone want to take them off my hands for half what I paid for them?

I'm so mortified. I just now found out that "Tit-willow" is sung by a man in Mikado. I can't sing it for the audition. I don't know Mikado. I know some of its music ("Three Little Maids," "The Sun Whose Rays") but very little about its plot. I was also thrown off because my freshman year, when I was at Mount Holyoke, we sang a compilation of G&S songs, including "Tit-willow," and I just always assumed that was a woman's song, even though we also sang other G&S songs that I knew were supposed to be sung by men, like "For...I am a Pirate Queen!/She is, hurrah for the Pirate Queen!/ And it is, it is a sight unseen to be a Pirate Queen..."

So, back to "The Sun Whose Rays" and possibly "I Cannot Tell What This Love May Be." Or maybe I could do something from Pirates...or even...The Pirate Movie. How about "Pumpin' and Blowin'"? That would be just the number to sing for an audition--a song about blow jobs.

Ah-huh, I've huffed and puffed
Just to keep love going.
I'm done, I've had enough
Of pumpin' and a-blowin'.

I discovered a site that's devoted to my favorite guilty pleasure, including the script: The Pirate Movie. Knock yourselves out.

Interesting...

Someone named Aaron Bogad (?) who is a director with DeBaun and "saw [me] at the Ragtime auditions" called my voice mail and left a message--he's directing some Shakespeare coming up, including Romeo and Juliet, The Taming of the Shrew and Julius Caesar, and wants to talk to me about them and I guess to audition.

I would kill--kill--to get to do Juliet. Kate would also be a great role, but I really want to play Juliet.

O, I have bought the mansion of a love,
But not possess'd it, and, though I am sold,
Not yet...enjoy'd.
