1. The Tony Awards. Granted, there won't be another one for about a year. But you can wait. Here are 5 reasons to watch the Tony's:
A. They cut people off if their speeches run over. I'm not just talking about cutting them off with music. They cut them off with commercials! They just don't waste our time with somebody you never heard of thanking a million people you've never heard of.
B. These people are classy. You ever get the impression that the Oscars are a sloppy mess? Well you might if you watched the Tony's. I've always thought the Tony's were classier than the Oscars. Seems more organized and the people seem more composed.
C. The musical presentations. It's so much fun to see clips of shows for me. Especially this year, because I hadn't seen any of the productions. It just makes me want to go back to NYC and see all the shows I've missed.
D. I actually know people there. Whereas I know NOBODY at the Oscars. I can say I know a few people at the Tony's. Whether it's people I've worked with or just met briefly. Sure, not everybody can say this. But it doesn't take much effort. Theatre performers (including Bway) are mostly very down to earth and aren't making 20 million dollars a year like Hollywood performers. They appreciate their fans immensely.
E. You can't really predict the Tony's. So everything is a surprise. Well, they're not as predictable as the Oscar's anyways. Mainly because everybody you're watching with hasn't see any of the shows or they've only seen one or two. This element of surpise seems to keep things interesting.
2. Rescuing an animal. Yes, I've officially rescued a dog. It really does make you feel good. This particular dog was a stray and she had a hurt leg. She was very malnourished and underweight. I took her to the vet where they boarded her for a few days and looked at her leg. Apparently, the leg had broken and mended itself. So the leg is fine, it just didn't mend properly so she walks kinda funny. Fixing it is an option. However, it would be mighty expensive and she seems fine and has adjusted to walking on three legs. So she is back to health and as sweet as ever. She is a black mutt with a medium build. So if anybody is interested out there let me know because this is just her foster home for now. I would keep her but I move around to much so it would be difficult.
