After a two year hiatus, I have decided to come out of retirement and make two rounds of holiday candles this year. Part of this is because I haven't made them in such a long time that I had an itch to make them again, and had a design in mind that came to me a month ago that was unlike any that I had ever done. The other part was for some additional Christmas income, which everyone needs, but

For followers of radio preacher Harold Camping, doomsday is expected to arrive tomorrow, May 21, 2011. During the so-called rapture on May 21—said to be Judgment Day—Jesus Christ is predicted to return to Earth to gather the faithful into heaven, according to Camping, the founder of the independent ministry Family Radio Worldwide. In preparation for this monumental event, I found these Judgement

(Photo right: Stafford, VA)Not since the 1974 Super Outbreak have we seen such a violent tornadic outbreak in the US. In the past several days, over 160 tornadoes have touched down in multiple states in the Southeast, killing as many as 249 known people. Many are still missing or unaccounted for. It is a rarity to have such an outbreak in the DMV region, though we have had strong tornadoes in the

Yesterday several tornadoes touched down in Western, PA according to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, PA. While there have been tornadoes in Western PA before, it is not a common event. I was watching the coverage on tv yesterday, and when the classic "hook" echo popped up on the radar, I knew that WEPA was in for some bad weather. Pictured is a photo of the tornado in Hempfield.Here

Thomas DeBaggio wrote the books that I am reading currently, "When it Gets Dark" and "Losing My Mind", which focus on his struggle with Alzheimer's Disease. The novels are haunting and beautiful, and have moved me to tears at times and made me laugh at others. I had written about "When it Gets Dark" only yesterday, and through a misunderstanding, I thought that Thomas had passed

But what I had not thought about was the roadways.With the government letting employees go at 3, when the storm was just starting to hit, the situation became dire.

Only 4 hours remain in our Kickstart fundraising event! It is unbelievable to me that about one month ago we started this fund raising page on a whim. 30 days later, we have more than reached our goal, and are inches away from reaching $10,000!!! There is still time to donate to the show, if you can find it in your heart and your budget. We have been having some music rehearsals here and there,

The wig sat on the kitchen table on a wig head. The raincoat had just come back from the dry cleaners and was hanging in my closet. Karissa was almost to my house, and I stood in the dining room for a moment, unsure of what to do. I had not been to my Nana's grave since she was buried there, due to my own irrational fears, and I suddenly felt that I was wearing the wrong thing for such an

I first saw the film on an October night in the 1980's. I must have been about ten years old. I remember that my mother was next door visiting my neighbor, and that my father was at work. I was home alone, and snuck a tape into the vcr to record a movie whose title brought chills to my spine. Night of the Living Dead. I knew that I might not be able to watch the whole film, as my mother might

I have my attention focused on Hurricane Earl this week, and hope that it doesn't wreck the last weekend of summer in our area. He is a category 3 right now, is forecast to become a category 4 by tomorrow morning, and the cone of possibility could take it to our area by Friday. I will be watching it verrrrry closely.

Wow. This has been an incredibly hectic Summer! Singing in 4 different cabarets, Performing in a Fringe Festival show, teaching camp for 12 weeks, bar tending at Signature, and writing a show! Wow!No wonder the blog posts just sort of evaporated on here. Now that most of that is done, things are returning to somewhat normalcy.

My Latest cabaret will be this Saturday night at Falls Church Art Space. It is about me teaching children there at the art space, and what I have learned by watching them. Some songs that you will hear include: Go the Distance from Disney's Hercules, Out There from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Rainbow Connection, I Won't Grow Up, Any Dream Will Do, and many others!

Super Claudio Bros. is almost ready to show itself to the world on Saturday. We had our first dress rehearsal yesterday, and have another today. Tomorrow we move to the actual theatre, Saturday we open. It has been quite a whirlwind, but way worth it, and the results of every one's hard work are clear across the board. Here are some assorted photos from the dress run. Enjoy!SUPER CLAUDIO BROS.

(This photo is a candid from rehearsal the other day, with Lauren Williams and myself showing off our moustachios). The show is soooooo good, and I really hope to see you there.

So I have been busier than I have been in quite awhile of late. I have not had much spare time to post on here, and if you scroll below, you will see why. Below are some crass commercial announcements for my upcoming gigs. Between cabaret prep, Claudio rehearsal, Pirate Choreography, and several other dayjobs, life has been an action packed, never a down moment affair. The picture to the left is

The DC Fringe Festival show that I am in, Super Claudio Bros, has me very busy in rehearsal right now. (Hence the lack of posts on here).

Fifty years ago today, Alfred Hitchcock's classic film, Psycho opened on the big screen. This movie revolutionized how films were made, and has been imitated time and time again. The most shocking thing about the film, besides the fact that little violence is ever really seen, is the killing off of the main character 20 minutes into the film. This "red herring" storyline was a genius device that

His earliest films (appearances in Rebel without a Cause, and a strong turn in Giant, Easy Rider)are my favorite. I also enjoyed his more recent films, including his classic role in Speed, and the hysterical villain in George Romero's Land of the Dead. RIP, Dennis.

The Alaotra grebe, a flightless water fowl from Madagascar has been declared extinct. Very sad when a species is forced into extinction because of man. So sad that this gorgeous creature will never grace this earth again. Full story HERE.

When you are sitting at the bar and everyone whips out their flat screen smart phones, it makes your phone and you seem dumb. Especially when you have had it for years and it looks like a pair of jeans that you have had since 1998. Which "Greenie" does look like. Like my former phone, it ate my face. I had black gaff tape over the metal so it could not make it's metal contact with my cheeks,

Our dear friend and neighbor, Gillian Shelly recently had a birthday. To celebrate, we decided to throw a "Luau" at our place. Several items were purchased from Party City, and then we were in business.Chris laid out Beach towels all over everything.I put "Scene Setter" backdrops on the walls and windows. We inflated several small flamingos and monkeys, and one inflatable palm tree.The place

I went to see the second to last performance of Little Shop of Horrors at Ford's Theatre yesterday afternoon. As many of you may know, the 3 Doo Wap girls were played by my dear friends, [left to right in photo] Felicia Curry, Kara Tameika Watkins, and Eleasha Gamble. They were utterly fantastic! I was so proud of them, and you should have heard how these girls SOUNDED singing with each other.

A few weeks ago Bligh, Chris and Matt and I took a visit down to where his parents and family live in Stephen's City, VA. I have been there many times, but this was a first for me. While driving up his brother's driveway, I saw that his brother's cows were out. They were literally right next to the driveway. I naturally got the camera out and started taking pictures. We had a great time, and

I don't know about you guys, but this oil leak is really upsetting me. I think that many of us see the footage on TV and think, "Wow - that looks bad", and then go along their way without thinking about it again until you hear it mentioned again. I have to admit, I am guilty of the same thing. But I am aware that this is not just a spill that you clean up and then everything is back to normal.

Today is Pacman's 30th birthday, and to celebrate it, Google is letting you play Pacman on it's main screen all day! Just go to GOOGLE and click the button under the search bar that says "Insert Coin". I've been playing it for like the past 20 minutes! Full story HERE. Enjoy!

One of Jupiter's cloud bands has dissappeared...again. Weird things are happening everywhere, apparently. Of course, the below Tori Amos video is just a song that says the word "Jupiter" in it a bunch of times, not a video detailing the real story. The full story can be read HERE.

This is the WORST hail I have ever seen. And at baseball sized, you would probably be killed if you walked out into it. This storm season has been incredibly violent so far. It is truly shocking.

I watched the film, Avatar for the first time, and found it utterly amazing. The creativity flowing through this film was awe inspiring, and the thought that this ENTIRE WORLD was created in someone's head was truly breath taking.The metaphors in the film are so very right beneath the surface, and you can feel them from the onset. This is an alien movie in which you root for the aliens instead
