Not even two weeks from canceling the newspaper do we find out we almost missed out on one of the concerts we’d drop everything and run to. Pink Martini!
This act of musical euphoria will be taking place June 24, and tickets are going fast. I just might have to get a newspaper subscription again…
It might as well be, for all I am concerned. Tomorrow marks the last day of work before Christmas/for the year — one of my favourite days of the year.
In case you do not know if today is Christmas Day, the website http://isitchristmas.com/ can serve as a handy reference for you. Be sure to check back daily! Thanks to Ryan for the tip.
CBC showed back to back “Christmas Classics” tonight — “Frosty the Snowman”, followed by its apparent successor “Frosty Returns”. The former is a classic, having been on the air for almost 40 years, and something I remember watching Way Back When. However this sequel I have never had the privilege of watching before today. A badly drawn snow melting corporate suit as a villain? Environmental pollution concerns? That was thirty festive minutes I will never get back — sadly this show will be branded a classic by virtue of the fact that it will air every year on tv as Christmas Filler for the next 40 years, however there is nothing about it that stands out as a holiday treasure like its predecessor. Even the Spongebob Squarepants Christmas Special holds up well enough to show that new content can go down as something worth watching annually.
If I had a magic hat, it would erase “Frosty Returns” from the archives.
Now the internet is subject to my ugly mug.
Take that!
This looks like it shall be a good event!
