Yesterday, I went to Barnes & Nobles, and I was just walking around looking at books. Honestly, I had no idea what I was looking at. I wasn't actually looking for anything. Just walking around the store. At one point I found this book about the psychology about Harry Potter that somehow had something to do with Aristotle. Idk, but it really intrigued me. The I came upon the required reading tables set up for those high school students. Something about just looking at the covers reminded me of the (rare) times I enjoyed the required readings at school. I even bought one! I would have bought more, but I was being money-conscious. Once I read the 2 books I bought, Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None and Kristin Chenoweth's A Little Bit Wicked (I have this weird fascination for Kristin. Idk what it is, so don't ask.), I am going back to buy more. I think I might end up finishing these books in about 3 more days, which is crazy for me since it usually took twice as long for me to read 3 chapters of a book (probably because I had this thing about schools shoving reading down my throat, which made them so much more worse than they actually were [with the exception of Lord Jim]).
So, today I started reading Kristin Chenoweth's autobiography "A Little Bit Wicked." I'm so engrossed in this book. Seriously, I haven't enjoyed a book like this since the Harry Potter series. I literally laugh out loud at this girl. I even feel sad when she does, but most of the time I'm laughing because I feel that this book is Kristin. Yes, it's an autobiography, but the way it is written is (I assume) just as if Kristin were telling the story to me personally. Oh, the beauty of a book. After this, I'm moving onto And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. I have high hopes for this since I loved Murder On The Orient Express, which I read in high school.
Ok. Here's a little bit of a rant. I started Little Shop of Horrors at BMHS. We sound great, and we will have a great show. We are kind of clique-ish, which sucks, but hey, that's life. Also, I don't like that the show was precast. In my opinion, it's not the greatest precast. It kind of sucks being in the ensemble of a show where you know you could do some justice being the lead, but they don't know that because they didn't audition and in the words of Rachel: "[They] don't appreciate me." But I have to go with the optimistic, yet realistic world view that says: "Hey, that's life, but maybe one day you can show them what they missed out on." :)

This is Kate Pazakis singing a parody of "Defying Gravity." Youtube, she's a great belter, like crazy! In a video called "Kate Pazakis UNZIPPED," she belts a high B flat (the B flat above the staff [for all you non-musical folk, that's REALLY high])!!
Sutton Foster made an appearance at this year's Broadway Bares. This her little skit. Kind of dirty, but so funny! Just watch.
This is Hunter Foster, Kerry Butler, and the Broadway revival cast of Little Shop of Horrors performing my favorite song from the show, "Downtown (Skid Row)." I just love Kerry Butler and Hunter Foster's belting! <3>
BAM!!
