I should do some vacation-trip reporting now, perhaps. Okay, so I had this post that I started while waiting around in the airport on the way to Cali, but it's kinda in a state of messy unfinishedness, so I'm going to start over and copy-paste the relevant bits (or just go from scratch).

Welllllllllll ... Lys saw Phantom of the Opera finally [avec ses parents]. Yay! She loved it sooooooo much. She'd never got to see it before, except for a silent-movie version of it that gave her some vague concept of what was going on (but she could not at all recall the ending, so what good it did i cannot say). She sang one of the songs in ( Read more... )
