I hope Jullia comes to Broadway. I haven't seen Wicked, but I'd go to see her.

I'm going to bed and hope I sleep this off. Good night!

If Julia does come to Broadway, and I somehow end up going to NY with my Aunt again next year, I don't know how I'd convince her to see Rent again (this would be her third time) with No Matt! and Wicked again, with Julia. She really liked Wicked, but I'm sure she would wonder why I keep wanting to see the same musicals. :P

Oh, and interesting. They talk about the girl who faked being sick to the Rent cast in a quite a lot of articles. It wasn't just the cast she faked, but she did it to her friends also.

"Catherine Skidmore, a 26-year-old theater electrician and designer, bought a plane ticket from her home in New York to Chicago when she learned that a friend she’d made through a theatrical e-mail list she hosts had gone into a coma.

"I started getting e-mails saying she was sick and in surgery. There was no reason to doubt it," Skidmore said.

She went as far as to elicit cards and flowers from cast members of the Broadway musical Rent, her sick friend’s favorite show. Eventually, inconsistencies and dramatic fluctuations in the friend’s purported illness led Skidmore to investigate. A few phone calls to hospitals and parents unmasked the truth: The coma, pacemaker surgery and multiple brushes with death had all been made up."

I open up part eight to see THAT PICTURE? Thanks, Katt. :P

I saw Rent tonight in New York for the first time. It really was an incredible experience, and I'd debated before whether or not to hold off on seeing it until I had seen some other shows. Part of that was decided by the fact that it's Monday so the choices are limited, but I am so, so glad that we went. I like the movie, but it was frustrating to me that movies by default just don't do a very good job of conveying how intensely moving something can be on stage. People that I took to see the movie didn't seem to be as affected by the movie as I wished that they'd be, my aunt included, but she was floored by seeing the show tonight. It just makes me so happy that she now *gets* why I love it so much (and it was nice to get to see it again myself). I really enjoyed the cast--I'd go into more specifics, but it's already been so well-reviewed by other people and I've only seen the show once before on tour (with Constantine as Roger, eesh), so I don't have much in terms of standsrds of comparison. Plus, I'm tired.

It really is a teeny, tiny world, though... I was in line and glanced behind me and saw one of my acquaintances from school, who I didn't know was even coming to NYC, in line directly behind us. It was a completely bizarre coincidence.

I was wondering when you were going to comment on the picture Ash. :P

Did you get Ava? That's who I got as Maureen (for the second time), although I wanted to see Haven badly. Here's hoping that she moves up to Maureen next year and I somehow get to go see her, because every single review I've seen of Haven loved her.

And EW Constantine.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the show.

Caren Lyn Manuel was Maureen, and I really liked her.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 12:50am

I've heard such amazing things about her. That's so cool.

[Katt]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 12:54am

You know what's weird? That Ava is listed as the second understudy for Mimi in the Rent playbill. I know she's played Mimi before, but you think that they would only use her as a last resort.

She did a fantastic job, and I'm usually not crazy about Maureen. She had great comedic timing during Over the Moon, and didn't play it for senseless laughs (which bugs me). Vocally, she was perfect. She reminded me quite a bit of Idina, actually.

Katt her last stop which is the stop before Toronto. The Toronto shows start Oct. 6.

I am going to kill my roommate. Seriously. She's so ****ing inconsiderate.

Good morning..I'm not in the best mood today .

[Katt]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 8:11am

I just read the most depressing book, ever. 350 pages and not a single happy thing happened.

[xM3L24x]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 8:15am

Sounds like my life.. wow that what depressing. I'm in such a horrible mood. :-/

[Amber_C2003]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 8:21am

I can come out and play today! I'm feeling loads better, and I have a runny nose (which I will take any day over a sore throat). Let's pray it stays this way :)

The book is called The Jungle. These immigrants come from Luthania hopeful to start a new life in america. Instead (SPOILERS!!!), the day after their wedding, they have to be at work. If they are a minute late, they lose a week's pay. 10 minutes late, they lose their job. It details all of these DISGUSTING things that happen, the dangers of the job, rotten meat being packaged away, men falling into bins of hot oil, dying, and being packaged as lard, agents selling a 15 year old house as new and not telling the family all the costs so that it's impossible to pay. If you are behind for one month's rent, they take the house away and sell it within a week. The guy's wife get's raped, then he goes and beats up the guy who did it, and gets thrown in jail.

The judge has no sympathy for them, and the entire family loses their jobs because the guy the husband beats up sees to that. One of the people in the family leaves and never comes back. His wife dies giving birth, and the son dies. His other son had died because he drowned in a mud puddle. The wife's cousin becomes a prostitute and gets addicted to morphine and vows to do it for the rest of her life.

Oh, one of the sons (he died because he fell asleep in a factory and got eaten by rats) was forced to work in a factory at age 14. He witnessed a boy next to him that had his ears fall off because they were frozen. He didn't want to go to work anymore, but was beaten by his father with a stick each morning so that he would go.

The entire book is like that. It's horrible.

I've heard about that book last year while learning about that period of time. It sounds terrible!

[Amber_C2003]

Egad, The Jungle...thankfully we only had to read excerpts. As much as I appreciate Sinclair's honesty in showing what really happened, it's just a bit more than I can handle.

Good morning everyone!

Katt, I read that book last year. I liked it, but at some times, it was just TOO much.

I am so tired of schoooool.

I'm really annoyed by my Art History class. Our midterm is tomorrow and we have this website where they post the slides online in a powerpoint slideshow and they post the list of slides in order - that way all I have to do is print it and everything is nice and in order. However, the slides from our two lectures last week weren't posted online until Sunday, and we have a list of slides, but the actual slides don't correspond. They're not in a ready to print format, so I'm sitting here resizing all of them to avoid using up an entire ink cartridge. Also, there are more slides on the list than the actual slides, so I'm googling the titles, but some of these are such obscure and older pieces that nothing even comes up! It's just really annoying since I want to and should be actually studying, but instead I'm stuck here doing what should have been someone else's job.

Phew. Ok. Rant over now. Carry on.

Good morning everyone!

Last night, I had a dream that my brother, my mom, and I were in a hotel. We were walking around and we found Adam, Anthony, and Tracie sitting on the floor. We said hello, and then we all hugged. Adam's hug was the best.
