A bit of randomness for you - 50th!

My last post was supposed to be a bit longer. It was supposed to be a sarcastic letter to someone who (I felt) kind of needed a slap in the face, but because I kept putting it off day after day for almost a week, I think my anger diminished enough to where I didn't need to post it. Personally, I think it was a great letter, but I don't want to dwell on it because I have a feeling I might end up rewriting it, which I don't want to do and would defeat the purpose of not posting it.

Random fact: I have listened to Bare: A Pop Opera about 3 times just TODAY. I've been listening to it for a couple days beforehand, too. Yes, the show the music, and the singing (Matt Doyle, omg) are all amazing, but damn, that's a lot of times to listen to a show! 

So, this weekend was very quiet and on the border of boring. It wasn't entirely boring. I saw a couple of great movies and a couple weird movies with Blythe, had dinner with Blythe (most of the weekend was Blythe and Jody dinner and movie nights), went to a high school choir concert, and went to see my float for Thoth. Speaking of Thoth. I am riding in the Mardi Gras parade Thoth uptown on Sunday February 22. I will be on float D. It has a big fleur-de-lis on it. You won't miss it. I will be on the driver's side, on top, second to last person.  I'll be wearing a mask, so you won't really know it's me, so you really have to get my attention. I missed a few people last year (but they somehow did get my brother's and dad's attention). Call my name or get my attention somehow, and you will be showered with beads and other Mardi Gras paraphernalia by me, my dad, my brother (who are standing on either side of me), and maybe even friends of my family.

Btw, This is post 50! Happy 50th, blog!!

This is Michael Arden (as Peter) and John Hill (as Jason) singing "Bare" from Bare: A Pop Opera on Seth Rudetsky's Broadway Chatterbox. This was back when Bare was off-Broadway. It's not the greatest performance, but hott damn are they still good.

This is "Tunnel of Love" from Side Show the Musical with Emily Skinner as Daisy Hilton (on left), Alice Ripley as Violet Hilton (on right),  Hugh Panaro as Buddy Foster and Jeff McCarthy as Terry Connor. The belting in this song (and in the show in general) is f-ing amazing! Alice Ripley is fierce! ([TOS], anyone?) Listen. Obsess. Love.

BAM!!
