...was a palpable sense that you, as a vocalist, were—CATFOOD
It was so perfect, I just had to laugh.

Why no, I do not pay YouTube and yes, the advertising can break in at awkward times

But when I came home after chorus last night I happened upon a Richard Marx episode of Stories To Tell, on YouTube, from about five months ago. It's here:

The guests are JC Chasez and Lance Bass, and it is lovely! Really interesting, from both of them, from different perspectives on the early days of Nsync to how Lance really felt about being unable to come out to JC's work on the Frankenstein musical (Playing With Fire), all kinds of stuff. And Richard Marx genuinely likes them both and they like him. It is just a delight to listen to. And it is almost an hour and a half long.

Marx mentioned Candide—okay, Candide? anybody? What did JC do with that?

I came upon these yesterday, and I must share!

You're welcome.

Yesterday evening was completely hijacked by an adorable YouTube series on cats, with a Bengal kitten being introduced to the two resident cats, one a small tiger and the other another Bengal leopard-type cat. Quite fascinating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_mgXHAMDZI

This morning I discovered to my joy that there is a Fanlore section on Cramp. It's by no means comprehensive, but it is there.

This evening's chorus had CAKE! It was a big birthday for someone. It's good to have unexpected cake.

Anybody want to join the iconversation? It's worth a read anyway, there are some *excellent* icons in there!

Ok, a couple of videos.

Tears, for this one. Don't watch it if you're not in a good place to deal with sadness. But if you are, it is beautiful. http://denali.littlethings.com/denali-dog-love-story/

And one for big grins, a little girl dancing. http://www.littlethings.com/johanna-dances-respect/

Woo hoo! That bizarre semi-improv pilot Lance was in a few years ago is now up on YouTube HERE. That bit is Lance's appearance - the rest is there too, but for obvious reasons less interesting. His skin looks like whipped butter.

kira_j just found a video which you must watch, because yes.

Oh, JC.

While watching this, I found myself muttering a little commentary along the lines of.... prrrrrrrrrr, iz nice, preeeeeeeen, prrrrrrr, hmph. Whatever. Iz fudz? Hmph. Prrrrrrrrrrrrr, bliss, bliss, whatever. Fudz? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Wot??? Preeeeeeeen.

Anyway. Totally adorable owl.
