Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome



Playing around with the new Stranger Things title generator while listening to the original cast recording of Cabaret on YouTube. And by original, I mean the 1966 version, thank you very much. Liza Minelli did credit to the show later on, I suppose, but I loved the original cast the very most. When I was a toddler, I used to dance around the house and sing all of Sally Bowles' numbers. They thought I didn't understand all of her double-entendres, but I did. Even way back then, I had a head for sin.

Tonight we bought my daughter a car. It's the first car I've ever bought that I don't actually get to drive! That is a very weird feeling.

Exhausted. Car paperwork always takes so long. Let's go see what's on Netflix.

I had no idea there was a version of Cabaret prior to the Liza Minellie - Joel Gray one. I'll have to check it out!

I've not listened to the original version in ages; thank you for linking! I really like Minelli and can't remember the original anymore, so it'll be interesting to compare the two.

I'll bet your daughter's thrilled to bits! :D

Have you watched all of Stranger Things, yet? Shog and I have three eps to go. I'm enjoying it; Shog is too, but he keeps finding nitpicking reviews of it. *rolls eyes* What do you think of the series?

We finished Stranger Things a few weeks ago, and we thought it was terrific. The last episode didn't quite stick the landing for the series, you know what I mean? But there is a second season in the works, so it makes sense they would try to leave a few questions unanswered. In related news, it's always heartening to see Winona Ryder gainfully employed. It's a true sign of a functional society.

Haven't watched Stranger Things yet, but it comes highly recommended from an author/friend of ours. It's on our list.
