Call me a Luddite
Nov. 1st, 2009 06:51 pmI've used iTunes for several years now, and have only just now started building playlists. Since the new syncing software for my BlackBerry doesn't copy individual files over, this was easier than copying them like I'm saving them to a flash drive like I've been doing. Andrew Lloyd-Webber, The Beatles, Gordon Lightfoot, and generic oldies all got their own playlists to go along with the albums I already had on there.
Went to Toronto yesterday to see The Boys in the Photograph, a do-over of ALW's earlier The Beautiful Game. It has to do with a football team of young Catholic and Protestant men in Belfast, just as the Troubles began in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It was quite a good show with a good cast; I hope this version is more successful than the last one. It was at Royal Alexandra Theatre on King Street. I'd never been there before, and I was surprised how small it was compared to the Pantages and Princes of Wales theatres. Small wonder it had to have three levels instead of the usual two--it was tall, but not very deep.
After the show was a trip to World's Biggest Bookstore to get a copy of The Realm of the Pharaohs, a gigantic coffee table book by Zafi Hawass, Egypt's loud-mouthed Minister of Antiquities. Unfortunately, picking it up and carrying it to the subway did a number on my right shoulder. It feels better today, but it's still a bit sore.
Following up on an earlier entry, the portrait of my character Krista has been uploaded by the artist. If you have an account, go shower her with the praise she more than deserves!
