Oda has been working tech on a new show, a musical version of Saved! Have you ever wondered what it takes to get from the page to the stage? She gives a taste of what it?s like in her latest on Arts and Dafts. Click the photo on the side to see her "office", in the pit, back to the stage. Who knew? Not me.

You should know, along with not being fair, life is bizarre as well.

Oda explains it all on Arts and Dafts. The art? See the photo. The Daft? Read about her day.

There's a new toy tool at our house. Even though it's practically perfect in every way, it still has an issue or two. One of us is finding all the solutions, like what to do if its browser crashes. Read all about it on This'll Work

But he left out, in my oh so humble opinion, the key player in the movie. Not in the book, mind you, but definitely in the movie. See if you agree, read it Atonement onDVD.

Elmo and Bugs Bunny (by RGP)

Happy April! To celebrate, it's Elmo! But wait, why the Christmas stocking? And why is he hanging out with Bugs? Click the photo to get the details, or better yet, visit Arts and Dafts and let Ry explain the whole scene plus her second Elmo spotting a week later. Yes, life in NYC is everything you've imagined.

There is a line in a Rilke poem:
"Sometimes your life is a stone in you,
Sometimes a star."
This little water color sketch is my attempt to touch on that.
Will be more rich and intense in glass.

I'm happy to add that all three earned at least a 4 out of 5 star rating, no small feat with the discerning MJ. He liked Gone Baby Gone, American Gangster and The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford. We heartily agree about the latter two (haven't seen Gone Baby Gone yet) so go read his reviews, then add them to your Netflix.

You aren't using Netflix? Well, maybe that's where you should start.

The first of our new Arts Weekend Showcase pieces is called, appropriately, "Coffee" by gypsygiana. You can see more of her work on Flickr and talk about it on the Arts & Dafts forum.

This was taken yesterday by Ry (Oda on the boards). It's part of her project for the year that includes a drawing a day. You can read all about it on her blog, Arts and Dafts here on Coffeerooms. And it's all ties together with Coffeerooms Arts Forum and a Coffeerooms Flickr group. Please join us, we'll show you ours and we hope you'll show us yours.

JunoMike Jefferson reviews the Juno Soundtrack and isn't in love. I ♥ MJ and his reviews, but I have to disagree this time. Maybe it's because I saw the movie with my sweetie? What do you think... love it or hate it? Either way, don't miss what MJ has to say.

Not sure what that is? Find yourself a newish Macintosh laptop computer (older machines may not have the feature) and give it a try. Read the latest This'll Work for directions.
