1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.

2. Page yourself over the intercom. Don’t disguise your voice.

3. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.

4. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it “IN”.

5. Put decaf in the coffee makes for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their
        addictions, switch to espresso.

6. In the memo field of all your checks, write “for smuggling diamonds”

7. Finish all your sentences with “in accordance with the prophecy…”

8. Don’t
   use any punctuation.

9. As often as possible skip rather than walk.

10. Order a diet water whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face

11. Specify that your drive-through order is “to-go”.

12. Sing along at the opera.

13. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don’t rhyme

14. Put mosquito netting around your work area and play tropical sounds all day.

15. Five days in advance, tell your friends your can’t attend their party because you’re not in the mood

16. Have your co-workers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Bottom.

17. When the money comes out of the ATM, scream, “I won, I won!”

18. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling, “run for your lives, they’re loose!!”

19. Tell your children over dinner, “due to economy crisis, we are going to let one of you go.”

20. And the final way to keep a healthy level of insanity…pass this on. A smile is good therapy!

Today on ABC, I saw a sensational theater performance by Leonard Bernstein and a few famous other..it was spectacular that I barely moved from my seat and was glued to the couch. So here you go a synopsis of what Cancide is about…

Broadway and operetta unite in the New York Philharmonics performance of
the satirical, effervescent musical Candide by Leonard Bernstein - the
conduct
or and composer who was so intimately associated with the New York
Philharmonic. Equally drawn from the classical and musical theater worlds, the
cast includes Broadway’s Kristin Chenoweth as Cunegonde, Patti LuPone in a star
turn as The Old Lady, Paul Groves as Candide, Sir Thomas Allen as
Pangloss/Martin, Jeff Blumenkrantz as Maximilian and Janine LaManna as
Paquette.

Leonard Bernstein’s Candide is staged by Broadway actor-director
Lonny Price, whose recent work includes the San Francisco Symphony’s Emmy
Award-winning production of Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd in 2000. Leonard
Bernstein’s Candide features Bernstein protégé Marin Alsop conducting the
New York Philharmonic, with the participation of The Westminster Symphonic
Choir.

A must watch for theater enthusiast…

Beauty

Your lips, your eyes, your soul
Are like a work of art,
The most creative thing of all
Is your beautiful heart.

If you were a painting,
No colours could express
The beauty deep inside you,
A rainbow, nothing less.

If you were a sculpture
The clay could hardly make
Your figure of an angel
Without one mistake.

If you were a euphony
No choir could really sing
All the beautiful music
Your eyes could possibly bring.

So here I am, an artist,
With inspiration beyond belief
But to capture such rare beauty,
I’d have to be a thief.
