All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go

Top Ten Things To Do During the Writer's Guild Strike of 2007

10. Watch Baywatch reruns on TV Land. Long live the Hoff!
9. In keeping with the Star Trek-Boston Legal connection, try to convince Majel Barrett Roddenberry to create some new storylines to keep William Shatner's cash flow going.
8. Catch up on some Holiday Catalog reading.
7. Convince yourself that reality TV outside of anything starring Gordon Ramsey is really interesting.
6. Start laminating Houston Symphony trading cards to enhance their eBay value.
5. Have some fun with your friends' heads on JibJab.
4. Go through the HS Wavelength Blog Archives, and see how fun it is to read this blog, translated into pirate-speak. Arrr!
3. Fer Pete's sake, go outside and get some fresh air!! Run! Bike! Walk your dog!
2. Now that you're not sitting ON the couch, fish under the cushions and take all your newfound wealth to the Houston Symphony Store and buy Symphomaniac merchandise for all your loved ones for Christmas.


and the number one thing to do during the Writer's Guild Strike of 2007 is:

1. Get your sorry self to the Houston Symphony this Friday, Saturday, or Sunday to see how many percussion instruments Evelyn Glennie needs to drown out a symphony orchestra!!! Oh, and the Prokoviev is pretty good, too.

LOVE this blog.

Oh.
the trading cards.
How can I get some?!

A friend on mine has a few violists.. including you and Wayne.
Any suggestions on how I can get my grubby fingers on these cool items?

JK!! :-) I think they "feature" a different musician every week- it's all a game of chance!

The primo ones are the autographed ones.....
