Thea and I are going to Les Miserables today at the Fisher Theatre in Detroit. It promises to be a most excellent event. Thea has never seen it before, so it's pretty exciting. I got her the tickets waaaay back in January for our seventh year anniversary. I know, I know - awwwwwww, right?

Anyway, we're gonna make a day of it and stop by Ann Arbor on the way. You know, eat some Japanese food, mebbe some NYPD or Pancheros or Tios, some Bubble Island Bubble Tea, ice cream from Stucchis... hmmm, mebbe I shouldn't have eaten yesterday in order to prepare for today's utterly gluttonous gorge-fest. hehe Also, we'll visit Bonnie and Tonia (Bonnie's staying at Tonia's for a little while). Anyway, pretty exciting stuff.

I gotta work at ten thirty tomorrow, though, so I guess we're not staying out TOO late. Oh well, I have trouble staying up much past midnight anyway (which is fine since 17 ALWAYS wakes me up in the morning well before nine...). He starts scratching the windows and the walls all around the bed, beginning usually around 7:30, until one of us gets up and feeds him. If, after a good half an hour, that STILL hasn't risen us out of bed, he begins meowing about 1/4 inch away from our faces. If our persistence to sleep is still holding, he then begins attacking our telephones (which we us as alarm clocks and which he knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, are the magic noise making devices which never fail to stir us out of bed) and repeating the whole process over again. At any rate, it makes me think the Pavlov really wasn't onto anything breakthrough with his conditional reflex dog study. I mean, it's like totally obvious, but, maybe I can only say that because I already know the theory... I wonder.

Les Miz should be good research for your upcoming ballet performance. Be sure to pay attention to the pioroettes and etc. I just love how you linked all that food to your blog entry, but not really fair considering I'm 2,000 miles away!

Hi Paul. Have fun in Detroit, the best city in the universe (I mean that with all my heart...Detroit IS the best city in the universe). I've never been to Fisher's Theatre. Let me know how it is. I'm jealous that you get to go to Detroit. Oh well...perchance one day I shall return to that magical land of milk and honey...
My cat meows centimeters away from my face in the morning, as well. Sometimes, she doesn't meow, she'll just touch her nose to mine until I wake up. Subsequently, this scares the absolute CRAP out of me and I nearly wet the bed. Anyway, have a splendid time.

my cat is a perfect little lamb. she rarely (if ever) wakes me up. she may have other annoying habits but waking me up is fortunately not one of them. that's probably because she's lazy (just like her mama).

My cat will do it at all times of the night. Last night while in a deadly fight during FF11 where I totally lasted till the Final Four she sat outside the window and meowed at 1 in the morning. She wakes me up every morning...from outside. She is like a dog only not as cool!

Paul,

Can I say that I LOVE Pancheros? Not only do I love it oh so much, but I am so super excited that a Pancheros AND a Noodles and Company (another fine place to get nourishment) are being built RIGHT in front of our most amazing place of work. So, dear Paul, please don't fire me any time soon, because I plan on making the most of these delicious restaurants.
