yay musical! (not high school)

listening to: Parts of the musical that linger in my head

saw Sweeney Todd tonight with two friends from my fiction class.
we got points for going to it and writing about it.
but let me tell you, it was waaaay worth it even if there were no points involved.

so good! having seen the movie definitely made it better. i love the dialogue and the bits of humor sprinkled about. it's a dark tale, but it's great. and the fact that all the actors played instruments and performed everything made it even better. these are talented people.

let's see, there was a piano, guitar, two cellos, violin, tuba, trumpet, flute, clarinet, triangle (ha), accordion(!), upright bass, and the occasional hit on a cymbal or xylophone-ish thing. just so awesome. $17 for balcony seats were great for this show! it would have definitely been better to be sitting closer and be able to see the actor's faces better and see their expressions, but i was totally satisfied. the music was just so cool.

now i want to watch the movie. we've got it somewhere in this house. sometime soon then i'll probably watch it.

in other news, i dislike drawing homework almost exclusively because it takes me so long to do. blech.

but that's a minor complaint. life is awesome.
sleep time.
peace.
