This blog belongs to Daniel, theatre enthusiast by day, asleep by night. He has broad tastes covering most aspects of life: food, friends, himself, travel, books, film, TV, theatre, celebrities, music, art … the list goes on. In a way to organise his myriad of hobbies, Daniel rants and raves in his own sector of the internet. Contrary to popular belief, Daniel does write about things other than Kristin Chenoweth. Sometimes he even writes about food here. Any other questions? Ask away. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-27008454-1’]); _gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’]); (function() { var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’; ga.async = true; ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl’ : ‘http://www’) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’; var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })();Tumblr (3.0; @ramblingdaniel)http://ramblingdaniel.tumblr.com/<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/d4Yydbg6ZVg?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>Emma Matthews performs ‘You’ll Be Taking Control Of My Army’ from <em>Partenope</em></p> </blockquote> <p>I saw Opera Australia’s <em>Partenope, </em>starring the wonderful Emma Matthews, last week and forgot to blog about how sexy it was.
