Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!!!!

I woke up yesterday morning to a bit of a shock. When I looked outside my kitchen door, the groudn was white. It had only gotten cold a few days prior. It was completely unexpected. Well, I knew right away I had to take my camera into work, as seeing the heath covered with snow is magical. And I was right, it was absolutely beautiful. Kids were out with their sleds and making snowmen. Okay, it was a pretty thin layer of snow, but it was enough for anyone of any age to have fun. I took quite a few pictures and will post the best here, the rest can be found in the heath album on my yahoo picture site, so be sure to check them out.

Spamalot pt 2

I went and saw Spamalot yersterday as planned. Well, sort of. I got the the theatre to pick up my ticket for the matinee and saw a sign saying someone else was playing King Arthur instead of Tim Curry. Well, I really wanted to see him in it. So, I asked if he was still playing at the 8pm show. They said he was and they had one ticket left in a box seat, which has a restricted view. I asked if I could trade, but they said all I could do was have them try and sell off my matinee ticket. So, I went with it. I went out and used my time until I could come back after the matinee. Well, luckily they sold my ticket. I had chinese food with a friend, and off to the evening performance. I laughed my ass off. I haven't laughed that much in a long time. Tim Curry was amazing in the role, and it turned out to be his last performance. So, the cast gave him flowers and the end and all. I would say I laughed even more than watching the movie. I loved the music so much I bought the CD afterwards. The set was beautiful and the costumes and props were dead on perfect. The box I was in was next to one of the speakers, but it didn't bother me. I sat with 2 other people in the box who were really nice and even gave me a recommendation for another play.

I can't recommend this enough. It is currently playing in New York, London, Las Vegas and a US tour. If you get a chance to see this, GO. This should be mandatory for everyone. And dress up too, it adds to the experience.

Oh yea, almost forgot. They were selling a limited edition of SPAM with stinky french garlic. It is made in finland with chinese garlic. :) They were selling it at the gift shop. They were also selling SPAM sandwiches. What a riot. It all was hilarious. GO SEE IT!!

Spamalot

I am well excited. I am going to see Monty Python's Spamalot on saturday. This is the last weekend that Tim Curry is in the role of King Arthur and I have been highly recommended to go and see him in it. He started in on broadway. I only paid 20 pounds for the ticket which I thought was quite reasonable. It is in the highest level, balcony, but I will have some small binoculars to see a bit better. I will put a blog entry up after I see it to let y'all know what I think. I do love going to the theatre and don't do it too often. Sadly, I am by myself. But screw it, I would rather go alone than not at all. You never know who you might meet. . . .
