Look To The Western Sky
I, personally, think it's crazy that N*sync's N*sync didn't ever make it to the top spot on the charts.
Today, I lost an hour of my life. In traffic. Seriously. Four miles in one hour. We listened to the whole Wicked soundtrack. The whole thing. No lie. It was completely insane. Which, by the way, always makes me sit there and compare random facts I know about the musical (having never actually seen it and not really following the songs) with the book (which I did read and ultimately, overall, liked).
For example, I think the biggest difference that I've been able to pick out is Fiyero. I freakin' love that kid. I loved him in the book. He was just the shy, quiet prince. And he was married and had kids before he had an affair with Elphaba. And Elphie was convinced in the end that he was truly dead. I think the writers of the musical just thought it would be a happier/better ending overall to have Fiyero really be the scarecrow, and they didn't even have to think of that idea themselves, because in the book Elphie was sure for a few pages that the scarecrow was Fiyero. But then she somehow knew it wasn't. I don't know.
I guess I always kind of feel like Gregory Maguire's books end kinda oddly.
I just have to point out that I've used that phrase a lot today I absolutely love number nine on MJ's list of eighteen things to do whenever. I think it's just because I love how she's just like "That is why Robert Downey Jr. and I have been so happy for so long." ;)
Also, I need to update my scrapbook with great gems such as "I told all my friends to take it." "Well, that'll give us an extra two or three." from Calculus. I love that kid. No lie, like half the quotes on my scrapbook are from him (nearly all the MA241 quotes).
I have difficulty doing anything I want to do. Why? I don't know, because I have no problem wasting time on the Internets doing absolutely nothing of any worth. I want to read. I keep a list of the movies I watch and the books I read. Secretly I've always had the goal of fifty books in a year. I haven't accomplished this, and I started trying in 2007. This year, I'm doing horrid, in that I've only read four books. I'm reading one, and I have like...three in the line up, but I just never actually do it. I suppose I'm kind of distracted by television. Which is true. But I'm not even watching Robin Hood and Merlin as much as I want to, and I haven't seen an episode of Arrested Development in a couple months.
So what am I watching? Jeopardy. Wheel of Fortune. One Tree Hill. CSI: New York [and yeah, I'm all "what the eff? I don't like crime shows." Go figure.]. Secret Life of the American Teenager [but that's off now.]. The Soup [for real]. SNL. America's Next Top Model.
There's probably more, I just can't think of them right now. I just. What? Really, I waste my free time on this stuff? I like it, though, so I guess there's that...
I really just have so much stuff to do (like writing two programs by Friday). I absolutely hate school right now.
But that's nothing new.
Peace
