The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, Part 13 — Page 9

i always wear sunscreen too unless i'm just walking to the mailbox and back. my dad had a skin cancer scare years ago and he's fairly dark so i'm taking no chances. and like brina said, we won't end up looking like prunes.

i tried one of those lotions with tanning stuff in them but it felt all sticky. and i hate that feeling so i quit using it. is the jergens better?

---

I agree. The body lotion feels a little sticky at first, but that feeling goes away fast. I break out easily, and the face one they have gives me no problems which is REALLY nice.

---

So would I. I always win the 'Whose Casper's distant cousin?" game, not a fun scenario to be in :-X

---

Congratulations, Dancin!

I think I got a pretty good tan today. The beach I went to wasn't letting people in the water because there were bluefish, and they were biting.

---

Wow, I haven't seen Rent, the movie, in a long time. I think I watched it in March...

---

Ooh, the clips of Mendes' French production are beautiful.

I'm seeing Rent on Thursday. I'll post something.

---

I just put it on. I have a long night of unpacking ahead of me, and it's very quiet here, so the TV's keeping me company, more or less. It's been a while since I've watched this!

---

It was looooong. Relatively uneventful, but very, very long.

It's weird -- I thought watching it would be sort of masochistic, but instead I'm just kind of remembering all of the joy of the whole time period surrounding the release. I think that's because it's been so long since the last time I watched it.

---

I'm really looking forward to seeing Adam and Anthony with my mom. My mom hardly ever gets excited about anything, but she's really thrilled about this. It'll be nice to share something with her when it's not something she's doing out of obligation.

---

It holds a really special place with me too. As Emcee said, that year from the time it was first announced to when it opened was really, really exciting. I think a lot of us overpraised it then, but now it's become sort of common to undervalue it.

ETA: that's interesting, antiandrew. How did you find out about this?

When I took my mom to see RENT she thought it was OK, but it was not her cup of tea (she'd rather see South Pacific )

I think the thing that bothered her was it brought back alot of memories of my deceased uncle (her brother), who in many ways was like a combo of the characters Angel and Roger. He was a drag queen who lived in San Fransico, and had a few cabaret/rock acts out and about during the mid-80's (He was kind of like Hedwig only without the sex change). Unfortuantly he contacted HIV, and lived nearly 20 years with it until he died in '99. Apparently he saw the OBC of RENT and was in love with it; and when he would visit my family he would play the album for me (I don't remember this, but my mom brought it up while we were watching the film). It's kind of funny, now that I think about it; I was sort of RENT baby! That's probably one of the reasons why I'm so passionate about the show in general I guess. My friends think that the only reason why I like RENT is because of Adam and they call me 'Rent-head'. But truth betold everytime I see the show, or listen to the album; I feel a connection with my uncle that I never truly got to expierence. That's the power of this show; it really draws people in and you have this connection with the characters, which is really amazing to me.

---

I would probably connect most with Roger, or that's who my friends think I'm most like (I can't help it if I like being by myself; I'm an only child I get used to it! )
