when jack o'neill was in the olympics skating for the gold...
So, many things happened today.
- I saw Spring Awakening with my parents. Finally. I've been waiting quite a while to see this show (stupid not having any money thing...) and I love the music and I wrote a review of it already [mostly just because apparently Tartick can't write by himself] and when my mom called and told me she had an extra ticket, I did a little dance. It was a little awkward to be sitting next to my parents with, you know, sex and masturbation going on right in front of us, but not as awkward as it was for the teenagers with their squwaking grandma, so I think it worked out kind of okay. I loved it of course, and it kind of changed my life a tiny bit, so... yes.
It's funny, because at times? I could totally tell the music was by Duncan Sheik. Certain moments when I was listening to it I just kind of went, "Yep. Yep. I can hear that." Pretty rad. The music is wonderful and the acting was great and the story is heart breaking and hilarious and if you haven't seen it, you totally should.
Funniest things I heard during/after the show:
Very Old Woman [like, wheelchair-old]: ::laughing during "Bitch of Living":: Oh my, they're talking about touching themselves!
MiddleAged Woman: Well, it was certainly a different play. Well, musical. I mean, the music was fantastic but I think the naked breasts were overkill.
- I came home and had an extended conversation with moonsheen that boils down to this: Oh man, we love Jack O'Neill. The rest of SG-1? Eh. But Jack should totally just be around all the time to be awesome. We even wrote a song! After talking about how great it would be if the entire science department went on strike singing "Blame Canada," we penned "What Would Jack O'Neill Do?"
The answer is, apparently, that he'd make a plan and he'd follow through. Among other things.
- I wrote the scene in my SP where Allison first confronts Alan about his strange behavior and encourages him to visit with the therapist the school's hired. It was... kind of unsettling to have him totally lose his cool. Even more unsettling was the scene where he went off on Doug and Dan about how he's a seperate entity from Danny and he wished people would leave him alone sometimes. How he survived for two years without Danny and he doesn't understand why people think he can't do it again if he has to. Which, of course, Danny overheard. And then there was a very stilted argument. And I'm seriously having issues writing this story. It makes me really uncomfortable.
I'll get over it. I kind of have to if I actually want to graduate on time.
- My mom gave me twenty bucks! Yay for grocery money!
- Also, apparently there was a football game of some magnitude today? I don't know, Alex and I watched The One Joe Flanigan Wrote While Stoned instead of, you know, real teevee.
- Addendum: Jokes about John Sheppard being high all the time will never get old.
