The Marvelous Wonderettes
This past weekend I was in California (where I'm originally from) and I went to the theatre. Well, I am a theatre geek so what would a weekend be without theatre. I saw this show The Marvelous Wonderettes on Friday night and I can't stop thinking about it. If it weren't sold out all weekend, I would have gone again. 11 of us went and we had the greatest time. I really do hope that they record a cast album. I will definitely be the first in line. But I've made my own Marvelous Wonderette's playlist on my iPod to satisfy my obsession for the time being. This really is a superb show. One of the best I've seen in a very very long time. So if you're in the North Hollywood area, I recommend that you RUN to see this show. They've extended 3 times and are now running until late March. So get your tickets now as it's spreadin' like wild fire!

Earthquakes? In New York City?
It feels like a rolling earthquake. I thought I had gotten away from those now that I no longer live in California. Who woulda-thunk that living on a major avenue in New York City on the 5th floor (the top floor of your building) would give you the same feel of a rolling earthquake every time an extremely large semi drove by. Strange.

You know she's your best friend when....
you watch Grey's Anatomy together, in the comfort of your own homes, chatting over IM. You have your own lingo to fast forward through the commercials and when they're done, you simultaneously say play. Something gross happens and you both scream EW. This is why I love her.
Oh the joys of unemployment
You would think that since I am currently unemployed, I would have a multitude of things to blog about. Negative. I have tried to keep myself somewhat distracted so that I don't dwell on the fact that I have no job and no income. This is a great way to celebrate my birthday (which is 6 days away by the way).
On Monday night I did see Evil Dead: The Musical. Gotta love working in this industry...you get comp offers constantly! So I had a date with myself and trekked into midtown through the freezing winds and saw a very interesting piece of theatre. It was very comical and I enjoyed the campiness of the piece. BUT, the songs are not catchy and I was (I hate to say it) disappointed with the choreography. Hinton Battle is the choreographer. Most of you know him as the demon in the Once More With Feeling. The musical episode from Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I wanted, well expected, much more out of Battle.
There were some definite stand out performances. Jenna Coker was fantastic. Her comedic timing, singing, dancing, everything was just brilliant. Was totally blown away by her. Long story longer, I mean short, I would totally see this show again, with a large group and I would sit in the "splatter zone". ;)

Comment or concern?
I am at a complete loss for words. I get great ideas throughout the day and then I sit at home and try to write and nothing happens. So I apologize to you, my 4 readers for not having anything for the last couple of weeks. Hopefully a strike of genius will come and a plethora of blogs will flow from my fingertips. And of course, I will take suggestions. :)
