ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
Percussion power
Advertiser Staff and News Services
Classical percussionist Evelyn Glennie has won a Grammy for her music, is as inventive a musician as they come, and has some pretty cool tattoos. She also lost much of her hearing before turning 11. The Scotland-raised Glennie is the subject of Thomas Riedelsheimer's documentary "Touch the Sound," which wisely avoids treating its subject's deafness as an ailment and instead showcases her amazing, apparently limitless talent. At 1 and 7:30 p.m. today at Doris Duke Theatre. 532-8768.

PAMPER ME
GODDESS PAJAMA PARTY
Calling all goddesses in need of some TLC. Head to the North Shore for the Goddess Tribe Valentine Pamper Party at Darrel Wilson's Retreat Center (68-007 Aweoweo St., Waialua), 3-10 p.m. Saturday.

Men are invited to attend — as pamperers. Cost is $25 ($35 at the door). Call 386-4470 to reserve.

FINAL WORD
"You won't hear any whiny-actor crap from me. Eva Longoria was kissing me for four hours the other day: Tough, tough job."
