Greetings from my new lap-top. I went to Glasgow in hope of finding dried chilies and interesting greens, and the rain was so vile I never made it past PCWorld and Braehead.
I fear you don’t stand a chance of reading anything more interesting here till I’ve set up all my bookmarks, learned how to use Vista (I know, I know…) and played with all the lovely new features of the latest programms.
Now, will there be Stickies or do I have to download the slightly dodgy version that makes XP freeze?
Last night, while we were planning worship for Michaelmas, someone told me about Wordle. How very addictive it is. And for someone like me, who likes words and cares about what goes with what, you can imagine how long it took me, amidst random permutations, to get Angels and God where I wanted them, with the lucky placement of Live, presence and seek. I wonder what would happen if I wordled a sermon…
Due to the unexpected response to the last post, I offer you another starter for conversation. (and something more theological soon, promise…)
What are your best memories of a stage musical? We’re looking for specific moments, here. If we like this game, will play it again with plain drama later (we used to call those ‘straight plays’. Do you suppose that still works??)
You can choose up to three moments. As usual, I’ll start off in the comments.
I feel fairly confident when offering the readers of this blog serious poetry, tentative or challenging theology, even recipes and silly cat stories. But this, this feels risky.
Is there anyone out there who has the generosity of heart to admit to liking musicals?
Musicals have re-entered my life (after a childhood in reach of Broadway) due to the timing of my Sunday commute between churches — just in time for Elaine Paige, who annoys me beyond measure, but who sometimes offers gems.
And today; well, today…
Just go listen. Click on the link , then on ‘listen again’ and scroll 54 minutes in. John Barrowman has stolen one of EP’s own songs to superb effect.
The link should work for a week. The half hour of the show that follows has a far better admiration to flinching ratio than usual, with three stellar ballads.
wonderful exchange
