Finally, a beautiful day! Why then am I inside writing on the computer? Because I haven't updated since we entered the second ring of hell and it was too flippin' hot in the computer room!
Thanks to the heat, I haven't been doing much beside sweating while not moving. Not much then to write about. But, I can recount going to the theater.
Well, children's theater, but theater just the same. My friend's oldest son was Gaston in a production of Beauty and The Beast (junior). He is a big ham so it was a perfect part for him. I'm happy to report that Noah is a good singer and he did an excellent job projecting both his singing and speaking parts.
There were a few other kids that you could tell were comfortable on stage. They were actually "acting," I just wish they had spoken louder. We were in the second row about 7 feet from the front of the stage and I still missed some lines. The kid who played the Beast seemed to come from the school of acting that says angry = yell your lines really quickly. But, I shouldn't be so judgmental. The kids looked like they were having fun. Even the youngest kids who played the flatware during "Be Our Guest" seemed to be having a good time. I'll save my smart mouth for the Broadway Series production that I'll be seeing in Feb.
Hopefully soon I'll be getting out to see some of the big summer flicks. Public Enemies is out this week and the countdown has begun for HP6!!!! Can't decide if I want to mess with Transformers 2 or not. Maybe I'll save it for a really hot day.
On a final note, my new favorite thing, Wired magazine, called out the Maru the cat videos as one of their favorite things! Thanks to galaxy carol for hooking me up to the best kitty in Japan. Seems he is now a national treasure, which is how it should be. There is also a great article about Facebook in this months issue, as well as an interview with the guy behind Prez O's plan to open up tons of government data and make it available to the public on-line.
