The Finale: Sondheim! The Birthday Concert
At long last, someone has uploaded the full Stephen Sondheim 80th Birthday Concert in 1080p so that we can worship properly. You too can watch it at the link above.
Sondheim celebrated his 80th birthday at Lincoln Center with a truly jaw-dropping cast of Broadway legends on March 15 and 16 in 2010. Though he would go on to celebrate many more birthdays, no other event would ever be more sublime than this.

WHERE: Two Kings Casino
WITH: @joanna-murphy
Moving away from Mad Dog’s table, Gabe quickly spotted Joanna within the crowd, and for a moment, it gave him pause. He never knew what to do anymore. Did he say hello, did he not? They were cordial even on the worst day, but that didn’t erase the small twinge of tension he always felt when the two of them were in each other’s orbit. His late wife was her sister, and even before Addison’s death, there’d been that pang of something that didn’t feel quite right. But, she was still Tyler and Lochlyn’s aunt, she was still family, and that fact alone saw Gabe making his way over, “Hey, Joanna,” Gabe greeted, giving a little awkward wave. “Finally got a night off?”

Ok let’s get real. If you had to chose between the two mustache boyfriends, which one would you pick?
Getting real? Steve. Because Steve is a one woman lifetime kind of guy and I am a one guy for a lifetime kind of woman.
If I had to pick a hot affair or fwb situation it would be Javi. But if I am supposed to get real, then it's Steve all the way. :3
This is why:
Steve when sad:
Steve when you give up everything to follow him to another country:
Steve when you did something really brave but dangerous and he finds out you're okay:
Steve when he finds an orphaned baby:
Oh yeah and Steve's butt:
Is this man an absolute dumbass you'll have to tell to calm the fuck down about 5 times a day? Yes! But he's your dumbass 100%. :3
PS: I forgot Steve's absolutely smug-ass face when he gets your number. XD
PPS: I'm sorry Javi, baby. They made me choose! Otherwise I'd always go for mustache boyfriend sandwich. :3

Were: Fire & Ice Gala
While Elliott was cleared to go home, he was still outside, waiting until Joanna finished up everything she needed to do. He didn't like the tension or the mess which happened because naturally it was going to bring a fiasco.
He was glad that his son was out of town, but he also wanted to make sure Penny and Mikayla were safe, not hurt. From a distance. These days, it was harder to be the man in the shadows, not since they both lived in the same city.
"Jo!" He shouted, spotting her through the crowd. She was okay, at least that. Walking up to her, Elliott pulled her into a hug, careful not to press in the gas that could be remaining on their clothes. His eyes already hurt like a bitch, no matter how much he washed them with water. "You doing okay?"

Even Worse Girlfriends
Clark decided he was ok with Mack being a romantic interest to Christina, which is a good thing I guess, a) because I didn’t even know they were dating in the first place and b) because it’s Leisure Day so of course they’re throwing a house party!
Phew! The sink got fixed and puddle mopped up just in time!
Wait! Who’s the random in the blue shirt!? I guess we should expect crashers at one of Reggie’s parties! Oh no! Why is Alyson yawing!? The party just started!
That’s more like it! And just look at how surprisingly ripped Reggie is! That’s what happens when you use a randomizer to select body shape and fitness level..LOL! At least Joanna seems to be interested in what he’s saying because...
Brianna is giving flowers to Kyle Baldwin right in front of everyone!
Mack has had enough and is off to bed.
Clark wanted to talk to Alicia, but she’s busy dancing with Kyle. Oh, what’s this? He seems to really be hitting it off with Jess! Is there a new romance in the air?
Reggie invited Brianna to stay the night. All the other guests started to head out and it looks like Clark is on speaking terms with Christina again.
And this right here folks is the face of a Sim that just couldn’t give a “****” LOL!
I thought it was bad when Andrae didn’t help Precious out from under the bed. Brianna WATCHED it fall on Reggie and literally just climbed in and went to sleep!!! OMG! What is wrong with these Sims!!??
