Les Mis ’99
The other day I went to Les Miserables the musical. I thought it was interesting. I think it is strange having a play where all the dialogue is contained in song. Actually, I find it annoying and unnatural. However, the play kept me interested and in the end I thought it was worth the bucks I shelled out. The visuals in the production, in my opinion, were stunning at times. The way the lighting and stage was used was excellent and carried the plot of the play well. I especially liked the sewer scene, where Jean Valjean was escaping with Marius. The lights were coming down through grates to give the illusion that they were actually in the sewer. If this production comes to your town, I recommend you go see it. Get cultured.
On another note: my roomate is so stupid. He stayed up all night two nights in a row for no reason. The first night I stayed up with him as well, but I had enough sense to get some sleep the next night. Last night, when he finally went to bed, he slept from 1 to 3:30 in the afternoon. I’m glad he finally got sleep. I didn’t want to have to force him to get sleep. Another guy on the floor, Brock, stayed up both nights as well. What a nut.
Tip of the day: Lift with the knees.
Quote of the day: “Whoa, I’m suffering from hottie overload!”
