Real Dreams Never Fade

Walt Disney Dec. 5, 1901- Dec. 15, 1966

A single idea can live on in the thoughts of millions through imagination, dedication and happiness. To dream is to inspire.

Mamma Mia- How Can I Resist You

Here is a first look at the new movie version of the Broadway musical Mamma Mia! It is so fun and exciting! The music makes you so great- I've watched this over and over. See the fun here!

Liltte Mermaid Update

There is a really good video of the Broadway bound Little Mermaid musical on theatremania.com today. It is very short, but they do show some great footage of what the show is going to look like. I love a show with good visuals- most directors don't realize how powerful and important a visual is to telling the story. Check it out here. There is also a good video of a costume photo shoot on the Disney Little Mermaid Site (and some good pictures too). The Disney video shows a lot of the costumes and make-up. View it here.

When You've Seen It All

"Spiritual Water: This product helps you stay focused, believe in yourself and believe in God." Found this while looking through the headlines today. I'm so glad someone was smart enough to bottle salvation. It is going to be so much easier for people to miss hell.

One More- For a Laugh

I call this shot pirate "booty".

Sailing for Adventure- TI

Weirdo

Just when you think Rachel is only half weird, you find out she only eats the middle of fries- not the ends. Ha!

Elf Laugh

Lisa sent this to me. Check it out here. I have not laughed so hard in a very long time.

Yo Ho!

A pirate's life is a wonderful life!

Expectations

I've always thought that if you believe in someone what their accomplishments will be only as good as your encouragements. Half of what I do as a profession is brainwashing. You convince an actor to become "real" in the moment of the show even though they are wearing someone else's clothes and standing in front of a tree that is cardboard. You convince an audience that the situation is "real" and expect them to become emotionally involved in what is going on in front of them, even though that person is really not dying or that monster is about to eat the little girl in a red cape. The funny thing is- they do. They cry, laugh and completely get wrapped up in the moment of fake reality. You expect alot out of total strangers and most of them are happy to submit. Crazy thing, this acting stuff. Crazy world. Believing is two-thirds the battle. Far too many people don't believe anymore. To expect anything less would be asking someone to be average. Pi-shaw!

One of Those Moods

I'm in one of those moods where I think if someone were to ask for another thing I would belt a good one. It is usual for people to ask for things this time of year and for those people who are close friends, I am completely happy to ablige. However, when a total stranger sends you a list wanting to know when they can pick the items up with out even asking for them- I get ticked off. I also get irritated at people who do not respect schedules, space, equipment and assitance. Just thought I woul mention that. I'm going to put a Christmas tree tonight- that makes me happy!

Society

The sad state of our society... and the Gap corporation.
