In the ink
Yesterday, there was ink all over the highway in Peabody, Massachusetts. A truck overturned on a highway ramp north of Boston, releasing hundreds of gallons of industrial ink. The spill was so bad the ink couldn’t be cleaned up, and 500 feet of the road had to be removed and paved over. Some of the ink even found its way here, to this blog post. Stay away from the white space below this text, or it may start to leak.

The cool, collected Lía Pamina
At last! Lía Pamina has collected her songs into an audio playlist that I can embed. You’ll also find the collection on Lia’s music page on Facebook. Lía has her own sweet and lovely sound that works so perfectly with the soft 60’s songs she favors, and with the newer tunes she does, too.

Superize me
If only I’d read the warning label for my Superman costume, I’d have known it wouldn’t make me invulnerable or give me the ability to fly, and I could have avoided a few bullet holes and broken bones.
The sound of spring
I’ve heard the first sound of spring. Birds, you think? No, Sumpy the sump pump kicked in last night, sparing us a tragedy like the one that Denro suffered a year ago.
K3-D
Let’s see what’s been doing lately in tiny Belgium, home to the owners of giant Budweiser, and where there hasn’t been a government in nearly a year. Hmm… it seems the political protests there are a bit different than they are in, say, Wisconsin.

One thing’s the same, however, and that’s consumer frustration over getting the runaround when calling customer service. A group of Belgian pranksters on TV calling itself Basta dishes out some payback.

The ladies have a new musical coming up, and it’ll be a first for Josje, who joined Karen Damen and Kristel Verbeke after Kathleen Aerts left the group.
WHY, KATHLEEN? WHY??
I don’t know why Studio 100 doesn’t call the new K3 musical “Alices in Wonderland,” but with three Alices on stage it makes sense to have 3-D effects on stage.
LONDON – Josie makes her musical debut soon for K3 in Alice in Wonderland. “It is the first time I’m going to do a full musical with K3, indeed,” said Karen about the musical, which will contain 3-D elements. In Alice in Wonderland 3-D scenery is used, which is a first. “It’s really the first time this has happened,” said Karen to Show News. “Probably there will be many to follow after us, but we can always say later: we were first.” The musical will play next summer at the World Forum Theater in The Hague.
Here’s one of K3’s more ambitious stage productions, with the girls combining a gospel church theme with 50’s “Happy Days” nostalgia. With so many little kids in the audience it doesn’t get as big a reaction as I think it deserved. Check out the wild backdrop.
