I'm comfortable with the fact that a four-day weekend will lead to crises on Monday morning. It's the price of turkey and pie.
What I'm not okay with is that everyone else thinks that their crises should suddenly become mine on Monday morning.

In an effort to both quell my work-related panic and be festive, I'm putting Handel's Messiah on repeat for the rest of the day. If co-workers continue to piss me off, I'm going to sing it, too. LOUDLY. WITH VIBRATO.
Oh god, I misread that last word at first.
Well I'm glad I decided not to go...

Last night's opening preview of Broadway's most expensive production ever, "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," was an epic flop as the $65 million show's high-tech gadgetry went completely awry amid a dull score and baffling script, theatergoers griped. Stunned audience members were left scratching their heads over the confusing plot—when they weren't ducking for cover from falling equipment and dangling actors at the Foxwoods Theatre on West 42nd Street, some said.
At various points, overhead stage wires dropped on the audience, scenery appeared on stage missing pieces—and the show's star was even left swaying helplessly over them midair during what was supposed to be the climatic end to the first act.

Technical issues can be fixed-- the plot and music really cannot. Shelve this disaster.Quote:

Well, sure they can. That's why they have previews after all. To get a sense of what works and make adjustments.Quote:

Aren't previews supposed to be more about "This song is running a little long" and "That scene feels repetitive"? If the actual plot is nonsensical and the music is bad, I doubt they can rewrite the whole thing.Quote:

That was my first thought. They're going to spend the next six weeks worrying about the special effects and won't have time to fix the actual play.Quote:

Well, sure, there is certainly a limit to what can be accomplished.Quote:

Never realized this.
I wish there were more roadside advertisements like this...

There's a paint sign guy in our neighborhood that is pretty awesome. He must've been on the news about a dozen times by now.Quote:
