Cooper: Diane, last night I dreamed I was eating a large, tasteless gumdrop, and awoke to discover I was chewing on one of my foam disposable earplugs. Perhaps I should consider moderating my nighttime coffee consumption.

Theater


I was thinking tonight that "Bye Bye Birdie" might actually be my 2nd favorite show that I've been in. It's definitely in the top 5, but it could be #2. That was 14 shows ago. I wish I had a recording of that one. I do have a bunch of photos. And one short clip (in quicktime).

I was reminded of those long ago days when I saw a big lineup of people at tonight's dance rehearsal for "Seussical: The Musical". in which I'll be Yertle the Turtle and the Grinch. This will be my 33rd show. It runs the weekend of Dec. 11th.

Gaming


The first song I've gold-starred in "The Beatles: Rock Band" is "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds". 63,562 points is good for 1660th on the PS3 leaderboard. Granted, it's a song in the easiest of the 7 difficulty categories, but it's still a gold star score. And it's my first. On the other hand, after much more time with the non-Beatles songs, I've only managed to gold-star songs in the lowest and 2nd lowest tier of song difficulties. But then, I'm no spring chicken. (And I am within 4000 of the leader on Social Distortion's "I Was Wrong"; a gap I don't see getting any narrower.)

I'm talking guitar, of course. I don't think I've ever gotten a gold star score on bass. And I definitely have not on drums or vocals. I don't think I've even played drums or vocals on expert.
