>>the soloist fell down the stairs, and all you could hear was "Ouch!"thunk, "look out!" bang, "Watch it!" "Whoops".<< Reminds me of the beginning of the second (?) act of "The Fantasticks" in which, as we all troop across a darkened proscenium, we are supposed to do all those things and say all that stuff. Loads of fun. I even got to scream out a very loud "DAMMIT!". Don't think taht would go over in church, though...

Boy, this is a first for me, you know. Everyone else has adjusted (more or less) to the latest twist in the Rambi/Penni persona, but here I am confronted by "Rambi" in Penni's new Easter outfit, complete with Easter bonnet, I presume, new shoes, new stockings, and a choir robe. Gloves? A cross on a chain? Where do I look? Do I avert my eyes? Shall I pretend like it's just Penni? Do I say, "hi, Rambi"? All of a sudden I am not awake enough. I need more coffee.

and reporting that 3D has been consuming me this week. My dear penni. Please take care not to find yourself becoming too involved in 3D. One must be ever vigilant for obsessive tendencies. Some red flags to watch for: (1) spending increasingly long periods of time away from a keyboard (2) more and more extended gaps between creation of various forms of fantasy realms (3) attempting to determine people's moods through extraneous factors such as eye contact, tone of voice, and so on (4) consistently punctual paying of bills, making dinner etc. (5) lack of gut-wrenching emotional reaction to ISP outages (6) excessive sensual response to 3D stimuli, including but not limited to doe-eyed gazes, touches, kisses, and so on Also pay particular attention to any "abetting" tendencies among nuclear family members, especially the desire for offline conversation, breakfast, and so on. These things should be nipped in the proverbial bud.

Then we ALL got to go to our own Last Suppers, which was wonderfully dramatic, in small rooms with only one candle and a loaf of bread and a chalice of grape juice, which I find a moodbreaker. Grape juice is so Koolaidy. I wish they'd use cheap vinegary wine. Or that sweet Manischevitz. I I I have been to a dinner where they served what was served at the original Last Supper. And I got to hear some of what was spoken at the first Last Supper. I had a Jewish girlfriend who invited me to her family's Passover Seder. The Last Supper was surely a Passover Seder. So you shoulda had unleavened bread, and you shoulda answered a question like "Why is this night unlike other nights?".
