time and relative dimension in space

This morning I got Unexpected!Rew which was awesome. He and his fiancée are driving up from Florida to Maine and decided to make a stop in Williamsburg to see me. YAY. :D I had to work, so we went out to breakfast beforehand and then they dropped me off at the park. I wish I got to spend more time with them. They said they might be able to drop by and see me again on their way back nearer the end of the summer.

It's looking like starting next week they're going to switch my regular days off from Saturday/Sunday to Wednesday/Saturday. On the one hand, having two days off in a row is nice; on the other hand, having the week broken down into two manageable chunks will also be nice. I think I'm okay with the switch, but we'll see how it actually plays out once I'm on that schedule.

On the grounds that I've missed, like, a month doing this meme, I'm just going to go ahead and do the last two at the same time. Under the cut to spare your flists.

( 30 days of musical theater )

I...am exhausted. I am looking forward to when my schedule becomes predictable and I get into a groove. Or whatever.


26. Sung by the character in a musical you can most relate to.

"It Won't Be Long Now", In The Heights. Could be my theme song. One day, I'm hopping that elevated train and I'm riding away!
Alternately, "Where I Want To Be" from Chess, which I already used for this meme here.

( the full list )

Moved in. Not much more to say about it at this point, except that I'm exhausted and will probably go to bed early.


24. Which makes you laugh.

"We Are The Altar Boyz", Altar Boyz. This whole show is amazing and hilarious.

( the full list )

22. From the musical you wish was (never) made into a movie.

Wish was: "Sometime, Do You Think We Could Fall In Love?", Zanna Don't! This could be such a fun, frothy, brightly-colored movie with a message. IT COULD BE AWESOME. :(

Wish was never: "Out Tonight", RENT. Probably there was a good way of making RENT into a movie. But that wasn't it. (It probably would have involved not casting most of the OBC. I love the OBC, but by the time making the movie rolled around they were all entirely too old for their parts.)

I feel the need to share this with you all.

My The Swamp Thing read has brought me to the infamous hallucinogenic plant sex scene, and all I can say is: Oh my god. I am so glad I never particularly liked yams to begin with.

Abby, you have terrible taste in men, WTF. It worries me that you don't realize this.



20. From your 'guilty pleasure' musical.

"Once Upon A Time", Brooklyn the Musical. I have no apologies to offer. I just love it in all its derivative, sappy, sentimental glory.
(I was going to put "Christmas Makes Me Cry" here because it's my favorite song from Brooklyn, but I couldn't find it on YouTube. Sorry. *sadface*)

I may potentially have a roommate. Now we just need to find a place to live. Think good thoughts for us?

I really wish this was way less last-minute than it is. :|


18. With the best lyrics.

"Hey #3/Perfect For You (Reprise), Next To Normal
So you could go crazy
Or I could go crazy
It's true
Sometimes life isn't sane
But crazy I know I can do
'Cause crazy is perfect
And fucked up is perfect
SO I will be perfect...
(Perfect...)
Perfect for you...

Happy Star Wars Day!


16. From your least favourite musical, by your favourite composer.

"A Boy Like That", West Side Story. Anita is the only interesting character, it has the least threatening gangs ever, and the love story is just as unconvincing as the source material plus Maria doesn't even die at the end.
On the plus side, this version is sung by Karen Olivo, who as we've established I love to ridiculous degrees.

Today I watched the 1988 Tony Awards. Why? I don't know. Don't ask me things like that. Maybe because this year's Tony noms are coming up tomorrow? (Speaking of: the fact that there's only two shows eligible for Best Revival Of A Musical makes me really sad. Am I alone in that?)

Anyway, the main thing I took away from the '88 Tonys is that I'm really glad I was four when the 80s ended because people in that decade had terrible, terrible fashion. WTF are those clothes. o.0


14. From the musical you haven't listened to (or seen) in a while.

"The Bride's Lament", The Drowsy Chaperone. I really should get on that, because I love this show and all its ridiculousness.

( the full list )

I AM STILL FULL OF SQUEE AND FLAIL OVER DOCTOR WHO AND ABOUT TO CONDUCT A REWATCH.

But anyway, meme!


12. You could listen to all day.

"La Vie Boheme A", RENT. TO BEING AN US FOR ONCE, INSTEAD OF A THEM!

( the full list )

My boring lack of a life continues to leave me with nothing to talk about here. [/fail]

10. From your least favourite musical.

There are several candidates tied for this one, so I picked one more or less at random: "Memory", Cats. How dare you do that to TS Eliot, ALW. How very dare you.

Yeah, so I'm an Eliot fan and not so enthused by Webber.
