My Fair Lady

We went to see my daughter's school's production of My Fair Lady last night and it was stupendous! They did such a great job, the auditorium was full of beaming, proud parents and family. The whole cast and support crew did an amazing job. Starting with the set and the stage crew, to the performers to the costume designers and the orchestra, these kids were all superb and talented. My older daughter, Asienne, was really impressed with the costumes. The apparel development class at the school created a lot of the costumes from the formal dresses, peasant clothes to the equestrian apparel were all done by students. The orchestra was the school's own, not hired professionals like I've seen other school productions do. The director is to be commended in giving everyone in the cast a chance to shine. Although the show, My Fair Lady, is essentially focused on the main character, this production was well balanced by giving each person their time under the lights. Well balanced and very entertaining evening!

Mary Quite Contrary ...

Oh, Mary, where art thou? There is a girl named Mary and she'd here, in plain sight, on this blog. Do you see her? Do you notice her? Or is she blending in like she belongs? If you can't see her and all looks as they should, then you've just experienced the premise of USA Network's new original series In Plain Sight.

This new series is about Mary, an agent who works for the Witness Protection Program and it is her responsibility to hide and protect people in plain sight so that they can still lead relatively normal lives. Some of the people she protects are criminals but some are just plain folks who were in the wrong place at the wrong time and now have to be hidden away for their own protection.

The first episode aired last night on the USA channel, but I'm sure you can still catch a rerun if you missed it. Visit the website and make a note to see the next episode. It looks to be a promising series.

Gamers Break the Vault

Do you like games, puzzles and trivia? We do, although for the girls, online role playing is more their kind of game. If you're like me, there is a new site that offers free online contests. It's free for you to join, but if you win, you get cash or prizes! What a deal, eh? You get unlimited times to play the game, all you have to do is register on the site. Right now, they have a Who Am I? game going where you get clues about a famous person, and you guess their proper name. Break The Vault like something you can easily get addicted to especially if you like word games, puzzles or trivial pursuits. The next game which starts on March 24th will be "Where in the World?" contest. You'll probably have to guess a location somewhere on the globe. Sounds like fun right? What if you also get $250 for getting the answer right? Did it just get real interesting for you? It did for me :)

Dream On

We were out shopping the other day, and the store was having a sale on flat screen TVs. The girls immediately started babbling on how we should set up a home theater in our den with a big screen tv, surround sound and home theater chairs. I told them they needed to stop dreaming. LOL!

Instead, we went and got DVDs to watch on our ol' 25 inch.
