putting on the ritz...indeed!

so jas & i just got home from seeing young frankenstein the musical at the paramount theater. it was wonderful. thanks to 2 of the best people ever (rob & kelly...love you guys and not just for your ticket magic) we had amazing seats and a perfect view of the stage...well at least I did, jas forgot his glasses so things were just a bit fuzzy for him.

i loved the whole show. the sets were amazing, the music was great, the humor was smart, witty and bawdy (much more than the movie). the dancing & singing were incredible. i'd happily go back a couple more times.

jason liked the show a lot but...

he's VERY attached to the characters in the movie and he felt disappointed because the actors in the musical didn't induce the same feelings in him as the actors in the movie did. i agree with him that they didn't, but i didn't expect them to. the movie is a classic, the actors in the movie were ALL pure geniuses who could top that?

jas did say he didn't feel like it was a waste of time...high praise, huh? well, maybe he's just tired. i could easily waste more time seeing it again and again...now if i could just get jas to pay for it.

a few things are for sure, i will be getting the soundtrack once it's out and i will be singing along to puttin' on the ritz! oh yeah and i love jas, even when he's tired!

a little traumatized...

so ceb & i both just finsihed reading eclipse, the 3rd book in the stephenie meyer vampire/werewolf series.

ceb was upset because she thought it was the last book in the series...luckily i was able to put her mind at ease when i told her there would be at least one more book that will probably be called breaking dawn, scheduled for release next fall.

i was traumatized by how heartbreaking the book is. jacob is my favorite character in the series and i'll just say i was not happy how things ended for him. i'm just keeping my fingers crossed that all is happy when the real end comes.

ceb & i are going to a q&a and book signing with stephenie meyer next tuesday. we are both excited about that and both hope she will give us a tiny bit of insight on what the future will bring for all the great characters in the series.

don't you just love how a good book sucks you in and when you've finished reading it makes you want to find another book that grabs you just as powerfully.

shopping for power rangers...

i took malakai for his 1st trip to pick out his birthay present with me. he did have him mom come too and we all had fun finding just the right thing.
