Liza At The Palace

The semester is through. It's time for Christmas and it's blizzarding out. I feel weird. Odd.

My gift for you...

Liza Is INDEED at the Palace

Commercial Reading & Liza

I'm currently reading Gods & Devils/Angels & Demons/Madonna & Britney. Whatever this book is called. It's like a ride through Central Park in the spring. I just read, I don't have to think, wonder or even fathom what will happen. I will be informed 5-25 pages later. It's like a vacation!

What feels odd is they're trying to save The Vatican from being obliterated. I'm sitting here and thinking, "If they don't accomplish this goal I won't be that upset."

I'm informed that I'm at a part where it really takes off! Let the roller coaster ride begin!

What's ironic is the other book you can find in my bag right now is Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs. It hasn't been touched because I am enjoying this neurological holiday during finals. Speaking of which, I am on my way to finishing a majority of it today!

Then to celebrate. Liza at the Palace!



I love this woman! Elizabeth knows her innerworkings, I just know her as my Judy's Liza. She has lead an amazing life and I am more than prepared to hear a so-so voice, but to see an amazing performance. I've been listening to her for a little while now. I have most of her concerts on CD and I know what her voice sounded like. I appreciate that to no end and I'm sure if you saw her in The Act in the 70s you'd be disappointed too.

I know what she could do years ago, I've seen plenty of old TV clips and heard even a bootleg recording of her as Roxy Hart in Chicago. I love what she says about addiction, "I have three Tony Awards, an Oscar, a Grammy. . . " She's accomplished so much at such a young age, her being an alcoholic wasn't due to lack of motivation indeed!

When she does the Palace Tribute. I will shit.

However, she is 62 and has had both hips replaced. I just found out from Elizabeth that she had some brain issues a couple of years ago and was told she'd never sing or dance again. Well, here she is boys...

I'm "Brave"

When I'm not freaking out about finals or not sleeping. I am like this:



Or this:



Oh wait, there really is no difference is there?

Oh, and one more thing. While we're on the subject...

Don't tell Mama what you saw...

Beginning of the rest of my week

How wonderful of my school to start rehearsals for Two Gentlemen of Verona before spring break is complete. So instead of having a weekend I get tech rehearsals. It's two days of annoyance and me being stoned. That's all I've been able to figure out. No amount of pot can cancel this one out. Okay, Alice take your stance and entertain me.

I have to go in about and hour or so, which isn't thrilling me. I am not going to stay for the whole dry run. I don't give a shit about this one folks. I'll be watching the show for day after day and I like when things are new to me. Plus, I like the musical better.

I swear, Liza Minnelli has done three final verses of City Lights from The Act. She keeps stopping and adding another chorus. Yet, this is why she won the Tony in 1971 isn't it?

In other news. I spent the last 48 hours being the laziest person in the entire world. I enjoyed it. I could only bring myself to playing FFXII for hour at a time. Perhaps I'll play it tonight while I skip the dry run. We shall cross that bridge when we get to it?

Honestly, what is Liza singing now? She's just wailing about needing him. Which is funny because if I could swear, there are no other characters but Liza in The Act. Oh and her backup dancers.

My friend called me out today telling me I write my blog, the same way Tennessee Williams wrote his Memoirs. Well isn't that the nicest compliment in the world. What's funny is I must've just unintentionally done it, because, well, I wasn't aware. Let's face it, I practically infused the man's soul to mine. Of course we'll have some things in common.

This Gets Me in the Holiday Season
