So here it is, my new layout that I stole from somebody's website. Hope you like it. I will obviously be tweaking it, beause right now it's kind of crappy. But ENJOY the pretty pictures of po-tay-toes. Because we all need mucho various potato products in our lives.

I went back to the Movable Type default. Cascading style sheets make my brain hurt. But I kept my masthead!!

On the eve of the State Of The Union...

Here's an old PBS special by Bill Moyers centered on the Iran-Contra scandal. It outlines the history behind the mindset and policies that created the "Above The Law" mentality we've all come to know and love.

(Give it a chance to load--it's 90 minutes long)

So I'm having a problem.

I'm beginning to physically resemble Rosie O'Donnell.

And don't think I'm exaggerating here, because I confronted The Husband with my observation, and he was all like, Yeah, you kinda do.

I go to the gym and workout. My weight stays the same but my clothes don't fit. Am I retaining water? Am I gaining muscle? Am I sneaking Frappuccinos in my sleep? It's starting to piss me off!!!

I'm off to get a Cafe Mocha at Tim Hortons! Maybe that will calm me down.

This is easilly the greatest thing ever

Audience members will answer the call to star in the Keanu Reeves role for Point Break LIVE!, a stage adaptation of the 1991 film.

James Hook directs the new non-Equity Manhattan run of the work - previously seen in Seattle, Minneapolis and Brooklyn - starting Jan. 25 at the La Tea Theater. The limited engagement plays through Feb. 24.

Point Break LIVE! follows the story in the Hollywood film that "revolves around Johnny Utah, former college football star turned FBI Agent who must go undercover to infiltrate a gang of bankrobbing surfers."

What is unique about the stage take is that the role of Utah (played by Reeves in the film) is played by an audience member (selected at random each night) who is thrust upon the stage (guided by a PA - who also serves as stunt double) and given his/her lines on cue-cards. "Keanu Reeves roles demand a special kind of acting," explains director Hook, on the show's conceit. "Essentially, in every scene, you have to look like you've just been dropped into a room and you have no idea what's going on."

The cast features Topher Mikels (as Bodhi), Thomas Blake (Roach), George Spielvogel (Angelo Pappas), Ben Robertson (Ben Harp), Izzy Abeyta (Tyler Ann Endicott), Scout Durwood (Kathryn Bigelow), Amber Hubert (PA), Mike Kash (Cameraman), Jonathan Evan Stern, Adam Morris and Conor Tansy.

According to production notes, the play "features copious amounts of fake blood, extended fight choreography, and an indoor monsoon." The work premiered at Seattle's Little Theatre and subsequently toured throughout the Pacific Northwest before playing runs in Minneapolis and Brooklyn.

Tickets to Point Break LIVE! at the La Tea Theatre, in the Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center at 107 Suffolk Street (between Delancey and Rivington St.) are available by calling (212) 352-3101.

God, do I wish I could go. I would make an AWESOME Keanu.

This is why Bohemian Rhapsody is the Grestest.Song.Ever.
