Mom found these little ones abandoned, and thought I might want to adopt them. I did, of course! They seem to be getting along fine with the others! Such a relief!

Firestarter

FirestarterFirestarter by Stephen King

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Excellent! One of the best climaxes I've ever read in a Stephen King book. Kept me guessing, and on the edge of my seat throughout.

REVIVAL?!

According to legendary director Hal Prince, there's an Evita revival in the works.

"There's a revival of Evita in the works exactly as originally produced and directed. Larry Fuller is on board choreographing, and Tim O’Brien and Tazeena Firth’s scenery and costumes are being replicated—identically. Dan Kutner, who has been in my office for over a decade and is a director in his own right, is preparing it for an opening in Johannesburg in October 2017."

"I am determined to persuade Andrew Lloyd Webber and David Ian, its producer, to come back to Broadway. It will have been some time since the most recent revival, which didn’t serve the material well. I’m certain that our audience is ready. Evita has always been one of the most satisfying experiences of my career."

This is absolutely thrilling! For as long as I can remember, I have hoped for this news! Mr. Prince is dead on. The 2012 Broadway Revival was an unbelievable disappointment on every level. If this does come to pass, I will see it without question. A dream come true, the way it should have been the first time.

Awesome!

Heard a lot about Bianca Del Rio long before watching season six. Honestly, I didn't know what to make of her when I finally started. It didn't take long for me to fall absolutely head over heels for the insult comic with incredible makeup, and a great sense of style. She was practically perfect every time out. Everything I want in a drag queen. Haven't felt this way since Sasha awakened my curiosity to this world. Have a feeling I'm going to become obsessed! Congratulations, Bianca! I adore you!

Surprised!

Nearing the end of season six, (can't find five anywhere), and kind of shocked that BenDeLaCreme went home before Darienne Lake. Don't read me wrong, Ms. Lake definitely did her thing, and deserves her spot, just a little surprised. Love all except one of the remaining queens, and can't wait to see it all shake down. BenDeLaCreme is absolutely beautiful! Enjoyed every second she was on my screen.

So You Think You Can Binge!

Yes, I binged all back episodes of the new season. All caught up! Can't believe I watched it all in one day! Have to say, I like the twist of the All-Stars choosing their partners this year. It's going to be nice to watch the progression from week to week. On a similar note, I really like the All-Stars. Would have loved for Melanie to be among them, but oh, well. There's always next season.

I already have a couple of favorite dancers, but don't want to jinx them by talking about them before the live shows start. They all seem exceptionally talented! Definitely going to make for an amazing ride!

Awesome!

So You Think You Can Dance is back for a fourteen season! Most fans probably know this already, as it is well in. I didn't find out until yesterday, however. To say I was shocked would be the biggest understatement ever! After the disaster that was last season, (which I tried watching, and didn't even make it through the first episode), I was sure we had seen the last of this amazing show. I have never been more happy to be wrong! Adult contestants are back, and Mary Murphy has pulled up the Hot Tamale Train alongside the judging table. This is positively thrilling! Ecstatic!

Contract!

General Hospital has put out a casting call for the contract role of an African-American female in her mid to late twenties. I have mixed feelings about this. If it is a recast of a legacy character, I'm all for it. Same sentiment if she is new, but is immediately tied to core in a substantial, believable way. If, however, this is someone new without direction, or a clear path, I'm not interested. Why cast a contract role when you don't even write for the immensely talented African-American cast members already there? Quite a headscratcher.

Big One!

Tyler Christopher has joined the cast. No word yet on character, first airdate, or length of stay. With a star of his caliber, though, I would say it's a pretty safe bet that the role is substantial, and contract. Ron has enjoyed writing for Tyler in the past, and Mr. Christopher has shown that he can more than deliver when given strong material. This could be fun!

Changes…

For the last couple weeks, I've been wondering what's going to happen with the head writing situation at GH. Well, looks like I have my answer. Chris Van Etten has been promoted, and will be sharing the top seat with Shelly Altman. While I'm just venturing a guess, I think this could be a good move. Apparently, Chris is a lifelong fan, which means he knows history. That's a major plus in my book. We shall see how it goes.
