...principal characters acquit themselves well with a good dose of self-awareness and ample humour, but the real star of the show is firstyear Kathleen Stetson. As the unwillingly betrothed Josephine, Stetson is simply luminous. From the melancholic torch songs of "Sorry Her Lot" and "The Hours Creep on Apace" to her puckish asides before and during "Refrain Audacious Tar", she has a positively radiant stage presence, extracting pathos in being the leashed Captain's daughter, alternately revelling in distinctly un-ladylike defiance. The chorus does well too, small choreographed numbers being infused with refinement on behalf of the women...
...into your phone line, acts as an Internet radio transmitter. Your iBook, iMac or G4 PowerMac loaded with an AirPort card can be online (or hooked together) anywhere in your home, without wires, at 56k connection speeds (AirPort also supports superspeedy cable modems or DSL).

...angels creep ever-closer to the Garden State and the subsequent unmaking of the universe, Bethany struggles to understand why God has chosen her, someone who has experienced nothing but misfortune in her life.

In real life, Apple says, she's happily dating filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights). But on this CD, her heart is a chunk of meat in a fridge: unloved, unlovable, freezer-burned. Violated once, she says romance races "right through" her. So she writes...
...services for a project of this size would cost tens of thousands of dollars. Add the time library administrators spent on the project, and the costs of printing, delivering, and stuffing each of the 6,000-plus folders with 17 separate pamphlets and cases, and the project cost could creep toward $100,000. A "Compliments of Harvard College Library" card, the kind that comes with corporate fruit baskets, adorns the top of each folder...
