I need to go nap but...

...I just had the nicest experience! I took the train back to my apartment and as I was walking through the Times Square station I heard (good) singing. Around the corner there was a pianist at a grand piano and three singers, a man and two women--they were singing "The Trollie Song" and I started humming the song along with them. After that they announced who they were (a group from Equity Cares--Broadway Fights AIDS) and an older man said something to them and one of the women said how he knew every show they'd sung, and if he knew the next one he'd get a prize. They launched into "Lullaby of Broadway" and I was (very quietly) singing along and mentally going through the ship choreography we had for that song. They asked the man if he knew the show--he said yes but he wanted to give someone else a chance. So they asked us, and I pointed to the sign above the piano--"42 St./Times Square." They applauded and called me up to the piano and asked me my name and what was the last Broadway show I'd seen. I said "In My Life" and they said "What about before that?" "Little Women." "Who starred in that?" "Sutton Foster!" "Oh, she's good!" one of the women said. And they gave me my prize--the Hairspray CD, which I didn't have!! How nice is that? Great music, great singers, a free CD of a show I don't have!! One of those wonderful quintessentially New York experiences.

Similar to the way my mind confuses "unclear" and "nuclear", I just saw "incest" instead of "nicest".

I was about to say, "Congratulations!"

I really loved FI when they started getting all supernatural around season 2 or 3. In one episode, Mr. Roark battled the devil! I loved that shit. Roddy McDowell played the devil and he was awesome. Then there was this ep where Maren Jensen (Athena on Battlestar Galactica) played a ventriloquist's dummy brought to life, trying to steal the ventriloquist's soul or something. Good times.

I got an ABC Afterschool Special from Netflix the other day.

Funny, in the Piolet, which I watched last night, they eluded to Mr. Roarke, himself, being the devil. By the Second episode they softened him up quite a bit.
OH MAN- I'm waiting for them to release the "Weekend Specials". Do you remember Anthony Michael Hall in Poe's "The Gold Bug"?
