Cat Clips Dialogue Contest RESULTS

Need Content for Your Blog Today? Feel Free to Embed Any of These Videos Into Your Own Blogs!

I recently held a contest on my YouTube channel (ScoobyHubby) for subscribers to watch some footage I shot of my cats and then write dialogue for it, giving them a chance to feel what it's like to write an actual Cat Clip. I was overwhelmed with the responses, and didn't feel I could actually pick a winner out of the many entrees. So I narrowed it down to five, and am now letting all my viewers help pick the winner.

If you would like to help as well, please click on the photo above and watch the first short video. Then when you are at my YouTube channel, you will see the other four videos in the series. After watching all five, feel free to cast your vote for your favorite. And if you're not already a subscriber, please consider subscribing as well. I can always use more support. (You'd have to sign up for a YouTube account, of course...which is FREE, very easy, and only takes a minute.)

Angela’s Back and Better Than Ever!

Over the July 4th holiday weekend, I had the extreme pleasure of watching Angela Lansbury perform on Broadway in the Noel Coward classic “Blithe Spirit.” And even better, I had tickets in front row center. How I was lucky enough to get these prime seats, I don’t know, as I only called up the night before to make reservations. But it was well worth the trip into the city, as the play itself is a classic bit of comic genius, and the rest of the cast (including Rupert Everett, Christine Ebersole and Jayne Atkinson) were equally superb.

In the play, Ms. Lansbury plays a somewhat questionable medium, who somehow manages to conjure up the dead wife (Ms. Ebersole) of Mr. Everett, much to the chagrin of his current wife (Ms. Atkinson). I’m sure you can imagine what ensues from there, complete with clever, witty dialogue provided by Mr. Coward. All in all, it was a great day at the theater, and a nice reminder of what a great actress Ms. Lansbury still remains, even in her eighties. (I’d actually seen her a couple years ago on Broadway, when she was in the tennis comedy “Deuce”…but that was not a great play, and she seemed to struggle with her lines in that one.) But with Noel Coward’s hilarious storyline as a backdrop, Ms. Lansbury shined brighter than ever.

The only thing I found a little odd is that Ms. Lansbury appeared to be wearing the exact same wig she’d worn as Mrs. Lovett in the original Broadway production of “Sweeney Todd.” Even had the same accent. Not sure if there was an intentional reference or whether it was pure coincidence, but the similarities were rather obvious. Other than that, the entire show was “like butter.”

The play closes later this month, so if you’ve been thinking of going to see it, you’d better hurry. Ms. Lansbury waits for no one.
