Raised on a diet of broken biscuits

By day: academic library monkey. By night: person who makes things and reads when she should be studying.

I use this place as a trivial kind of commonplace book, to collect things which interest/edify/amuse or attract me, along with some journalish musings.

Journey’s End Boys go Jersey Boys.  Easter Bonnet 2007.

So… who sings which part?  Hint: Stark Sands… falsetto.  ;-)

[I posted this last night but I had to fix the audio.]

I woke up this morning with Stark’s falsetto part in my head, and it stayed there all morning at work. Most hilarious and persistent earworm ever.
