Ah, but spring rain is nice.
I should go to the store soon, and get some spaghetti sauce, but I'm so lazy.
~~~~~~~~
I did finally get to the store, but jeezus it's cold outside. It feels more like December than April.
And it was snowing last night.
But now I'm nice and warm in my room!
~~~~~~~~
Ah, theater, my other obsession.
Where to begin...
I guess my first experience with acting/directing, etc. was when I was in 4th grade and began making short movies to compete in something called a 'Media Fair.' Basically, a bunch of schools would get together, and students would compete their videos, and the winners would go on to the state level. It turned out I was quite good at this, and won state four times, as well as placing 3rd at National once.
When I got into Jr. High and High School, while I continued doing Media Fair, I also tried my hand at live theater, and loved it. I was in Annie Get your Gun, Guys and Dolls, The Miser, May the Farce be With You and a non-musical version of Les Mis, as well as doing a great deal of writing/directing of original material (like for Christmas charity presentations, etc.) I also was really into choir and voice (I still am).
I first saw Les Mis on my 16th birthday in New York City, and I loved it. In addition to Les Mis, I've seen...get ready for the huge list...Miss Saigon, Martin Guerre, Aida, Phantom of the Opera, Man of La Mancha, the Scarlet Pimpernel, Cats, West Side Story, 1776, The King and I, Once Upon a Mattress, Once on this Island, Jekyll and Hyde, The Sound of Music, Cabaret, Oklahoma, Godspell, Ragtime, Rent, Grease, Once on this Island and probably a whole bunch I'm forgetting.
I also love non-musical theater as well, especially Shakespeare and Eugene O'Neill.
~~~~~~~~~~
Well, it's a huge list for a 30 year old University student doing it for fun. (Not to mention I know there are a bunch of others which aren't on there and I just can't remember them! )
At my Uni, the scene kind of sucks, and Dublin is so expensive that it's cost prohibitive.
But I'm hoping to see some shows when I get back to the states this summer.
~~~~~~~~~~
My taste is anything I can get my hands on. But in southern Indiana, my choice is limited to touring productions that come to Louisville or Indianapolis. Hence all the big name ALW musicals. I'm actually not that much of a fan of ALW - very overrated.
As for NYC, just depends on my budget.
~~~~~~~~~
Argh, my head is going to explode.
There's only so much Christopher Tolkien I can handle in one day...
~~~~~~~~~
I'm currently making myself some penne for dinner, before going back to HoME X.
