Tiara and Boa Day?
Dearest Veronica,
I fear that I am a bit cash poor at present. Will this boa suffice in place of my lei on "Tiara and Lei" day?
Yours in crime,
Abby

He Blew it Up
Many months ago, I donated a small amount of money to this guy who said that if he received enough donations to buy himself a G5, he’d blow up his G4 (that’s a Mac upgrade for my fellow PC people). Well, last night while I was sleeping, I got an e-mail from him. He did it!
It’s So On!!
Trapped In The Closet – The R. Kelly Sing-a-long at the Coolidge Corner Theatre on Friday, April, 29th:
We spared no expense to import from Austin, Texas, one of our favorite ideas ever. Our friend Henri, from the Alamo Drafhouse (one of the best theaters in the country, period), joins us as host for this very special event.
To the uninitiated: Every chapter of R. Kelly’s TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET soap hip-hopera ends with a cliffhanger. The last lines of Chapter 1 are, fittingly enough: "He walks up to the closet
(closet) – He’s close up to the closet (closet) – Now he’s at the closet (closet) – Now he’s opening the closet (closet, closet, closet)." Then the video fades out and you have to wait for Chapter 2 to find out what happens when he opens the closet (closet, closet, closet). Fortunately you don’t have to wait long because it’ll fade right back in with Chapter 2 and we all get to see what happens when he opens up the closet and finds R. Kelly there in a post-adultery hide-away.
To those in the know: You’ve seen the videos online. Maybe you’ve even seen them on DVD in a room with friends. But you haven’t fully experienced them until you’ve rapped along with R. Kelly in a theater full of hundreds of friends and a bevy of props hidden around the room. We’ll screen all 12 chapters with bouncing-ball sing-a-long lyrics, a bevy of other classic R. Kelly videos (everyone ready for the Bump N’ Grind?), a special on-screen "interview" with the man himself, an amazing 10 year old kiddie remake of the first chapter of Trapped, and more! By the end of the show, Sylvester won’t be the only one who’ll scream out, "Oh my god, a rubber!"
It is so on. Let me know if you can join. I want to make a night of it. 😀
KABOOM!!
Gah! Just put my headphones because they are doing loud behavior therapy with a kid in the next room, and it’s hard to write. I put in my headphones, then realized I had my system muted. Unmuted, and KABOOM!!!!! GAAAAHHHH!!!! 50 Foot Wave sure is loud! When did I turn the volume all the way up? I seriously think I might have damaged my hearing… at least temporarily. I’m like Pete Townsend! Anne will be so impressed! Where’s my amp? I need to throw this file up in the air, catch it, then SMASH! And maybe some onstage – I mean on-desk – explosions.
The song that did it was "Hot Pink, Distorted," about 10 seconds in.
