I Love The Wrong Company

I enjoy associating with The Wrong Company. They are the rulers of the Catholic Benedictine College Universe, my countrymen.

Kthnxbai.

Ladies and gentlemen, my iPhone seems like a tiny toy after my first experience with the iPad. Yea, verily. :-P

When I hear this, I'm seeing - in my mind's eye - a captial film chronicling the journeys of Paul and the beginnings of the early Church or a montage of screen and stage portrayals of Queen Elizabeth I. Yes, I am a strange, yet poetic, one.

"Even the most devout overwhelmingly do not abstain until marriage," Cahn and Carbone write. (From here: http://ping.fm/HcrqI)

This is feeble-minded rubbish, since I am apparently an anomaly according to them (yes, folks, I waited! And it wasn't difficult! *gasp*!), as are many other girls and guys I know. The entire Christian community is not a sex-crazed pagan fest. That's Los Angeles.

Biopic about the Bronte's are in the works, according to this. If so, my prayers have finally been answered. http://ping.fm/WxTDf

Toured UNCC campus today w/ Hubby. It has a Starbucks, I mean, c'mon. ;) <3

More Anglo/Beatlephilia

In my search to learn more on the new BBC4 docu-film, Lennon Naked, I stumbled on Anglotopia.net, which is essentially what I had wanted to create for myself. Given that my time and resources are somewhat limited, I'll settle for my blog. :) In the meantime, visit the site and swoon away!

As for Lennon, I'm still trying to find out if it aired in Britain yet and if I should expect to see it on BBCAmerica anytime soon (I'm guessing probably later this summer?). If we're getting Doctor Who over here, hopefully other stuff will come along. It's moments like these when I wished I lived in Britain to save the hassle of transatlantic tv watching. On a side note, I'm looking forward to seeing Nowhere Boy this October 8th and I just learned of the release date! I'll know what I'll be doing that weekend. ;)

As you can imagine, I went into damned near ecstasy last fall when the Beatles albums were re-released in mono and stereo, along with The Beatles Rockband game. I recommend both to anyone, anytime, anywhere. Living the 60's in the 2000's never felt so good. :-D

Opera-tastic.

I heard about this in Monday's paper and I've been reading anything and everything I can get my little arts-starved hands on. Click and read. I'm hoping this makes its way from the West coast to our area, but we'll have to see. All I know is I want to be impressed by something modern that doesn't have the word "Gaga" in it. The reviews (of which I'll post more later this evening or tomorrow) seem promising.

In local news, this coming weekend's performances of Otello at Opera Carolina is going to run for a WHOLE TWO DAYS! :-D Diggity! How tenderly I remember the long forgotten halycon days of two week runs. Ahhhh....

Would that I had the spare $25 per seat for two or maybe three, I may persuade myself and others to attend. I wish the cast the best, but I also wish OC would get a boost. 8(

Your Saturday Update

Not a whole lot going on here at the home ranch, just working on clearing away to-do web items, reading, groceries, etc. I did find a few things I wanted to mention:

www.pawsweb.org

They sent an ad to me in the mail yesterday, asking for a donation, which I'll eventually give. I had never heard of Pawsweb before now, so I'm glad there are organizations devoted specifically to animals that are exploited within the performing arts.

I've never gone to the circus my entire life because I was taught early on what they do to animals to get them to perform. I'm suspicious of the new "Cavalia" show here in Charlotte because of this, though I may be wrong there, depending on how the horses are trained. So don't go to the circus, folks. Kthxbai.
