It's been some time since I last posted. I mean I didn't even notice a month passed. I suppose that's because I've been rather apathetic these few days. Today I went home with nothing to do, since I quit german (my grades, duh) and I was/ am feeling bored. Even though technically I'm supposed to spend this time getting my grades up, and being on top, but how much more on top can you get? Not that I'm really on top but I think when I had things on I had more motivation to do homework, and now it's like- can I have something to do? Actually I should really pick up tips from felicia and mug, say chinese, over twice or something. That would really make a difference. Actually though really the point is for me to plan my afternoons properly, now I've got all this spare time, because a lot of times I find myself thinking of what to do next.

I have nothing to talk about, because I have blocked all thoughts from permeating and distracting me. Usually when I have nothing to do I burst into "What is this Feeling?" out of tune, and irritate cat, who's sitting beside me, or whoever happens to be around me at that time. I like wicked and it's songs- I've almost got the lyrics down pat. Though my initial thoughts right after I saw it were that wicked was very... shallow, and its plot was weak in some places, and was a tad cliched. But of course I was converted by nat, crystal and chanel, who were squealing all about it right after and who can resist fangirling?! Although deep down I still feel wicked has a larger fanbase than phantom purely becase it is more accessible and american. [elitist!] Though when you think carefully, most musicals don't have a lot of depth. (how much depth can you fit in 3 hours?) They have great songs though, and dancing. I read the programme (yes I have it! squee) and it says the dancing in wicked was choreographed by a tap person. They weren't as technical as compared to phantom, or say, chicago, but very showy and dramatic. I mean very appropriate for wicked, what with green elphaba and all. And its props are the best of all the theater things I've seen, with the gears and trapdoor and the part in "Defying Gravity" where elphaba is raised by a harness. Before watching wicked I thought it was a rather low-profile musical (a huge understatement!) and nothing to yell about but "I have been changed for good!" ohoh and Oliver Tompsett is a much better Fiyero than Adam Garcia (who was incidentally in Cyote Ugly), as seen from the vids on youtube. Though I was sad that I didn't get to see Kerry Ellis as Elphaba ):

ohoh I can compare this for english but I am spending too much time on the computer, and might post later/ in a long time
