It's a dream when you seem to be walking into the sun

Today has heavily featured my physical health being terrible, but I am cheered by the ongoing attempts of my spam e-mail to become James Joyce:

For a drink sovereign avuncular to be benedictus, step by step silk. Very chaste this everywhere contortionist. In front of licentiate, interment. What clerical topping may upholsterer at work aboard. Off directorate may I the northwester subdue? What morality persimmon by car anarchist were quartered. Away begonia out. How old head.

Needs more verbs to be Dylan Thomas. I also like this interview with John Kander about Cabaret.

That's a fabulous interview. I was obsessed with the movie version when it came out, but I did NOT know that Judi Dench played Sally Bowles when the show opened in London. How I would like to have been there, thumbing my nose at the reviewers.

I hope you feel more the thing soon. *hug*

That's a fabulous interview.

"During try-outs in Boston, Prince decided that what had been a three-act show would become two acts. 'At which point, Fred Ebb, who was nothing if not dramatic, collapsed and said the show was ruined. It would never work now,' Kander remembers. 'In our hotel room, Fred was lying on the bed and Joel Grey . . . was lying on one side of him and I was on the other, holding his hands, saying it's not over, it's going to be fine.'"

Agreed. I've seen pictures of her, but never heard a cast recording. I bet she was spectacular.

I hope you feel more the thing soon.

Thank you.
