Revelation from a dream

I've never heard people say "kill two birds with one shot" or "kill two birds with one throw". So maybe "killing two birds with one stone" might just mean thrift: you get back the same stone (which might be a particularly good one for slingshot use) and use it again for the second bird.

Apologies to my feathered friends. Now back to sleep.

High School Musical

I'm watching High School Musical for the first time (since there's no Glee until the fall). Here are my impressions:

• Kelsi is totally hot for Gabriella and wouldn't mind Troy joining in.
• The hip-hop intellectual looks like callmeinfrench.
• The music seems to be Disney-standard tripe, elevated by good performances.
• The writing? Christ have mercy.
• Dancing made it fun -- the best musical about high-school students since West Side Story, and Grease, and... okay, this is faint praise, but ultimately the proof of my satisfaction is that I'll be watching High School Musical 2 sometime soon.  ...-ish.
