So everyone in New York (and the rest of the US, of course) is abuzz over the Wall Street meltdown. A fraction of those are also talking about those two guys who started making out (to "comfort each other in this time of distress"?) behind the CNN reporter as he was reporting on the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy. Now, I'm not gonna post that, cos I love you guys. But for all those who need a break from all things bleak and serious, I recommend catching the Broadway musical Avenue Q. This is not your typical musical, all ye Broadway skeptics. With songs like, "What Do You Do With a B.A. in English?", "It Sucks to be Me", and "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" you'll find yourself eerily identifying with the performers—who are, incidentally, puppets. Avenue Q opened in Broadway in 2003 and has won several Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
And with that I'll leave you with a few lines from Avenue Q's "For Now":
For now we're healthy.
For now we're employed.
For now we're happy...
If not overjoyed.
And we'll accept the things we cannot avoid, for now...
