Europe trip? Awesome! See y'all in London!
Just went to see the original 1978 film
La Cage aux Folles. I laughed my ASS off! It was really very funny, and helped fill in some of the gaps around the musical. :)
My bus has been absolutely failing at coming this week. Twice now I've had to phone home for a lift because the bus driver just can't be bothered turning up. And both times on evenings when I've been pushed for time. HMMM. Mum's going to do an angry phone call on my behalf tomorrow. (She gets angry easily, so I don't like to unleash her on customer service people, but I really rely on public transport, so in this case, I suppose her wrath could be useful. Oh poor bus company. ;_; )
We've nearly finished the pantomime! Just two more days/three more performances left! I can't wait, y'all. CANNOT. WAIT. Then there's
My Fair Lady, which is amusing. I'm only chorus, so it's not sapping too much of my life, and I have a fantastic skirt for the Ascot scene, and I get the rare privilege of dancing with a real man during the Embassy Waltz! There are VERY FEW men in our group, so this is genuinely shocking. I'm also not a dancer in the slightest; I guess the choreographer has never really seen me move so is working on faith. Here's hoping I don't let her down! XD And there's
Twelfth Night auditions on Wednesday next week; I'm going for all the female parts, and thinking about badgering the director to let me try out for Feste too. I can only ask, right?! XD No idea how that's likely to go, but I'll do my best and see what happens. :)
My ukulele and I are also almost competely joined at the hip. If I seem a little invisible at times, it's because talking on the internet takes away from ukulele practice time. O_O I have this INCREDIBLE callus on my left index finger, and I'm developing them on other fingers too. The veins on my knuckles are becoming extra-visible from all the string work, and I'm sure these mysterious lines on the side of my index finger are from bar chords. XD But the more malformed my hands get, the better the sound is, so I'm happy to have mutated hands. :) I'm now at a stage where I can jam along fairly successfully with the Imagination Movers, so that's made me significantly happier than it should have. XD
And now I should really send an email and get some sleep. Ukulele keeps me up at night, which is NOT good for my mental well-being. O_O
