Chicago is bringing the following to the theatre in 2009:

Mary Poppins
Xanadu

There is nobody that I would be able to find to go with me, I'm sure.

Sorry for the spam today. Here's my quick, mini review of the new Duran Duran CD, Red Carpet Massacre...

1) The Valley - good (sounds like DD)
2) RCM - I like the beat, but having a hard time with the stupid lyrics. typical Simon and his stupid lyrics. Haha.
3) Nite Runner. I really like this song. Sounds like a stripper song.
4) Falling Down. Great song, but already kindof sick of it. Especially since it's my ring-tone, too.
5) Box Full O'Honey - not my favorite.
6) Skin Divers - Probably my favorite song on the album. The beat is so cool.
7) Tempted - I would say this is my second favorite song. It reminds me of the 80's Duran Duran.
8) Tricked Out - No lyrics; all instrumental. I feel like I should be in the movie, "16 Candles" jumping around with one of those big Madonna bows in my hair. It's just a fun song!!
9) Zoom In - Not a deep opinion. Don't love it, don't hate it. I'm never in the car long enough to get to these tracks anyway.
10) She's Too Much - I like this song. A little on the slower side.
11) Dirty Great Monster - My least favorite song. I know that Simon is not really known for his lyrical skills, but this is just such a stupid song. It sounds like a song you would smoke dope to.
12) Last Man Standing - Same as #9. No real opinion.

Okay, all this being said, I looked at the liner notes, and JT and Timberland helped out with #3 and #4. You can definitely hear their influence in those songs.

Overall I rate the CD a B-/C+. Since I'm listening to it on my computer at work with one headphone, it's hard to give it a higher grade. These songs might sound better on an actual CD player.

However, after "Astronaut" I had such high hopes for them, but unfortunately they just didn't live up to it. I'm glad I didn't go out of my way for concert tickets, because I wouldn't HAVE to see any of their new songs in concert. Of course, I'm always happy to go see their old-school stuff.

Our company is doing a drive to send care packages to family members that are serving overseas. I am on the committee, and being Miss "Give me whatever job is leftover," I have been put in charge of writing up little notes to each of the soldiers.

I have no imagination and never know what to write. Anybody have any ideas what I can put in the note? Obviously I'll put the "Thanks for serving..." and probably a blurb about our company, but after that I'm at a loss for words.

Suggestions? I really want to emphasize how proud we are of them.

Thanks!!

The 80's RULED!!
