Dear Movie & TV People: You know what's not hard? Recording a sneeze. Get someone to go outside & look at the sky, and record several sneezes. Real ones. Then use them. Just put 'em right in there, instead of the incredibly lame non-sneeze the actor does. Again: not hard.

The very first notes heard by a brand new symphony, composed by a living composer for the occasion! What a night. Congratulations to everyone at the @SAPhilharmonic — only you know what it took to get us here.

A freak accident; a huge loss. I just can't believe it. Shimi was a consummate professional. Her work ethic was as strong as her good nature; her honed skills were as good as it gets. Man! What an addition to San Antonio's arts scene. tinyurl.com/y6r7huyw
