525,600 minutes

Five hundred twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes are the minutes in a year. And feature in the song, Seasons of Love, in the stage musical RENT which has been made into a movie (opening 11 November 2005).

It is also one of the best songs in the musical, about living and measuring life in a year.

My human went to the Australian production of RENT in 1998 in Sydney and loved it, and should have gone to the San Francisco production while he was there, but didn't. He can't wait for the movie version. He puts on the broadway soundtrack from time to time, which I enjoy.

RENT was written (both music and lyrics) by Jonathan Larson. He died suddenly, aged 35 before opening night - dropped dead on the floor while making a cup of tea. RENT won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

RENT - The Broadway Musical

Canberra's G-Strings production of RENT - in August 2005 (which I think my human and our friend Devi may go and see)

RENT is one of the best late 20th century musicals. Like West Side Story, My Fair Lady, The King and I, and The Sound of Music before it, the movie version deserves to be a hit!

........ooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo........

We had visitors tonight. Margaret and Mary, who live in Sydney came over for dinner. My human cooked a mushroom (with fresh and porcini), asparagus and chicken risotto. While my human was cooking I was in my chair and walked over the dining table towards them to sit on a lap and got into BIG trouble. I am not happy when non-cat people come and visit! Anyway, Margaret is staying over for a few days and she has taken over my day bed and room!
