Audition: The Importance of Being Earnest
Today I auditioned for the Columbus Civic Theater’s winter production of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest. I’ve always been a fan of this play—I read it in my college drama class, the movie with Colin Firth and Reese Witherspoon is one of my favorites, and I generally love Wilde’s writing. So when I got this audition notice in my inbox, I thought, why...

Review from the London Film Festival
Savannah Film Festival
Another hot contender in the race for Best Picture is Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours , based on Aaron Ralstrom’s Between a Rock and A Hard Place, which details his harrowing hiking ordeal where he was forced to amputate part of his right arm to extricate himself from a canyon. (Yeah. Gross.) James Franco plays Ralstrom in the...

Girly Products :)
It’s really irritating when all sorts of grooming products run out at the same time, but when you’ve already planned a Sephora trip…it’s not so bad. :)
The haul:
1) Philosophy’s Gingerbread Man body scrub. Every year, I say I’m going to try this, and every year, I miss it! Not this year! Squee!
2) Philosophy’s Chocolate Bark shampoo, conditioner, body...

that is when I’ll be excited about going to the Cleveland Clinic for a visit.
I’ve only been there a few times, before NCH had their transplant program up and running. Well now that we’re “in between” lung transplant directors, I have to go make a trek to the CC to “touch base” so that if “anything comes up” I will have a transplant center,...

Minnesota Democrats: ANTI-CATHOLIC in print | Fr.... →
You know, I work in politics. I’ve worked on some campaigns. And I know that they can get…volatile. Tetchy. They can hit below the belt.
But this stuff, out of Minnesota…this is super low. And I gotta ask—if these ads attacked Jews, or Muslims, or even other Christians—what would the public be saying?

from The Barefoot Contessa at Home
I’ve never really been a panna cotta fan. Some restaurants make it so bland it’s like eating gelatin-y mush. And some make it so firm it’s not really enjoyable to eat. So I was never really tempted to make me own—plus, you needed unflavored gelatin powder, and that sounded unreasonably exotic to me.
Well, I got over it. And I am so glad...

Emily Cooks: Chicken Salad Veronique
from Barefoot Contessa at Home
I’ve always liked the look of this salad: it’s a pretty pastel-y green, thanks to all the greenness in it, with little diced chicken bits. But when a recipe calls for bone in, skin on chicken breasts, I usually say, no thanks. Ugh. More chicken to buy and mess with.
Then I changed my tune, and now I am not afraid of said chicken.
In this recipe, I was...

Seven Quick Takes Friday XXIX
1) This post brought to you by Caribou Coffee and my lunch hour. :) And the letter “F”, since it’s Friday. :)
2) Trying to decide if I want to go to the Symphony tonight or tomorrow. I’m feeling really perky today and my hair looks good…so I’m thinking tonight? It’s an all-Baroque program.
(I just love that scene!)
3) A beautiful fall day here in...
