Barbie turned 50!

Some people cheered and recalled fond memories of growing up with her dolls, her car, her dream house, her water park, her horse, her friends, none of whom had clothes and who had magic marker on their faces because a little brother drew all over them.
Some people cheered because they’re collectors and you could hear [...]

My friend James lost his mom this Saturday.

She had been sick for a long time, but they thought she had more time than this.  She got to be at home, peaceful, in her own bed, with her family around her just like she wanted, but of course my heart goes out to him and his family.
Too many of my friends have lost [...]

We’ll Miss You Gidget, The Taco Bell Dog

You’ve heard of LOLCats and LOLDogs: now giving you LOLCelebs!

Okay, who’s complaining that I haven’t shown a real celeb yet, just fictional characters?  Well, here you go:

They have so many good ones, I hate to stop!  But let’s leave it at this:

Someone I work with passed away suddenly.

Told his wife he was going outside to bring in his trash cans, had a sudden, massive coronary, and was gone before his wife could reach him.
We’re all shell shocked here.  You tell someone on Friday to have a good weekend, see you on Monday…. and that’s it.   It’s so unreal.  I feel like he’s [...]

Next question: when you think flaky playwright, who do you think of?

Right again, me!
I’ve been bumped up to the part of Penny in the play You Can’t Take It With You. I mentioned this show a couple of posts ago; John and I are in it with the 2nd and Vine Street Players at the Eagle Theatre in Hammonton, NJ.   Now that I’m playing Penny, it’s [...]

Remember how you thought you had great taste?

When you were a kid and a teen, and made snide faces at your parents’ shows and music?  Or you do it now?  Like my post where we got all snotty about kids’ cartoons because we had Bug Bunny, Daffy Duck, and so many great shows.
Then we remembered we watched Sigmund and the Seamonsters, not [...]

When you think drunk actress, whose name pops into your head?

That’s right, mine!
I just got the part of Gay Wellington in the play You Can’t Take It With You. It’s with the 2nd and Vine Street Players at the Eagle Theatre in Hammonton, NJ. My character is described as:
An actress who Mrs. Sycamore (one of the leads) meets on a bus and invites home [...]

All Ears.Net: menus update

All Ears.Net received a very nice compliment from Touring Plans.com.  What makes it even better is they didn’t say they were going to write this or even contact AEN or Deb Wills that they did it:

I joined Weight Watchers today.

I had to do something.  I’ve put on so much weight and for a year and a half, if not longer, I said I would lose it.  Instead, I keep putting on more.  So many of my clothes don’t fit and the few that do look terrible because of the weight and fat/inches.
I needed to [...]
