Note to self: when you are setting your alarm for your nap, please make sure to not automatically turn it off as soon as you get it set. If you slept through calling-home-time, your mother would have been all WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER IS HER BODY INNA DITCH SOMEWHERE NOOOOOEZ.

--actually, I exaggerate, but it still would have been along the lines of why did you forget to call? at which point I'd have to explain I was napping, which in turn would result in her fussing about my sleeping habits, and yes, Mom, your daughter is taking care of herself, she just does it in bits and pieces, kind of like patchwork.

Someday soon, I hope to have more interesting content. Someday!

In the meantime, I went and checked out the the trailer for 'Wicked' that rivendellrose posted and hey! It's not bad -- I like the new Elphaba more than the new Galinda; I like that she's not really tried to become Idina Menzel or follow her vocal patterns in the song, but did "Defying Gravity" her own way. ... at the same time, I kinda miss the really high-pitched ditziness that the original Galinda (whose actress' name I can never remember, let alone spell, though I know it's Kristin something-or-other?) had, especially during "What is This Feeling?"

I mean, really. "There's been confusion for you see MY roommate iiiiiis ... UNUSUAL and exceedingly PECULIAR and altogether quite IMPOSSIBLE to DESCRIIiiiBE ..." --I think it sounds better when it's high-pitched and in quasi-Valley Girl speech, but it's definitely not bad the other way. 8D

But, bearing hell or disaster, I will hopefully be in Seattle next September, and I WILL GO TO THIS PRODUCTION. ♥ When I was younger, I used to wonder why my dad made me download five or six different versions of the same song ("Ave Maria" and "Greensleeves" were the two he kept asking for), though now I think it makes more sense.

I'm one of those people who gets really used to music a certain way, with a certain singer -- and there are lots of times covers just sound weird, but sometimes, it can have a really nifty effect. (Like in "Down with Love," that chirachira brought for us to watch, the two different versions of "Fly Me To The Moon" -- which I'm not tremendously fond of in origin but! -- like that.) I like covers at the same time, though, and I like hearing new casts for musicals I'm fond of.

Then again, half the reason I'm excited for the RENT movie is that it's practically all of the original cast. BUT HAY, it's been nine years! Idina Menzel in particular grew in leaps and bounds with her singing ability, so I'm horribly curious to see how everyone else has developed.

...

I have no idea what I'm talking about. Maybe I should sleep more.
