Chapatti - It's so nice to have a great local theater - and even nicer since I've discovered the secret of "Rush Seating". With rush seating tickets, one goes to the box office on the day of the show or within an hour of showtime, and asks whether there are any "rush seats" available for the performance. Makes sure to add the word discounted in there somewhere, and before you know it, you'll be holding a $10-$20 ticket in hand and walking into the theater. The seats have been great, and the plays have been wonderful. Last Sunday, Nancy L. and I saw Chapatti at the Northlight. It was during Preview week, and after the performance there was a discussion with the playwright, Christian O'Reilly, for anyone who wanted to stay. The play was charming, disturbing for a few minutes in the middle, and then uplifting. John Mahoney and Penny Slusher were fabulous. Not for everyone with the disturbing bit in the middle, and you'll have to ask me about that, but otherwise, delightful.
Typewriter Girl by Alison Atlee - It turned out to be a romance novel, but a nice one, without too much fake tension between the lead characters. John has a charming welsh brogue and is somewhat innocent where women are concerned, and the typewriter girl, Betsey, is an english rose, less innocent due to circumstances, but nevertheless extremely lucky and quite plucky with the way she runs her life. As with all romance novels, misunderstandings abound and bumps in the road are encountered, but all get resolved as the story and romance move forward. If you like the genre, then this is a sweet read.
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
