So a student's mom called me today, realizing she owed me some money for an extra lesson I did. I checked my planner; so it was. A sign from God, I've decided. So rather than doing something rational or, you know, productive, I BOUGHT CANDIDE ON DVD.::falls ( Read more... )

I like buying cool things with cool people in them. It makes me oh so gleeful. Like for days. Usually cheap and gleeful, since my happiness is bought so easily, but gleeful nonetheless.

I GOT YOUR POSTCARD! The gay sex bit made me laugh so hard. I'm gonna buy a postcard on campus tomorrow because they have pretty ones with scenery of the Holy City (w00t!) and send it to you. (Unless I find one that has pie on it). Thank you much, it made me SO HAPPY!

Buying stuff with cool people in them makes me happy in the pants for WEEKS on end. It's odd how that can make you feel infinitely better. By the way, if you thought Chenoweth was bent before, in Candide, she just... well. She just. ::shakes head:: I don't know if you know it, but it's a wonderfully dark comic operetta. You'd like it.

OH YAY POSTCARD! That makes me happy, like, "Wow! Jillie got a postcard from me! How cool that that happened!" Cause sometimes I forget that I sent them.

I would so like a picture of pie the Holy City.

I know what you mean, I still talk about getting my Bway: The American Musical dvd.
I've heard of Candide (I took two opera classes in high school) but not that version!

ALLISON AND MARTIN!

I'm re-watching season 6 right now, just waiting for the parts where CJ and Annabeth walk together. It kills me. Height difference'd.

I indulged in some Cheno. I shouldn't have money-wise, but I did anyway, and I'm just gonna forget about it and enjoy. I can't wait for it to get here.

Haha, I loved how she went, "what are you, 4'10?" Cheno has this song, "I'm Only 4'11, But I'm Going to Heaven" she said she sang when she was wee (although she has odd definitions of 'wee'). Ah, SOuthern Baptists.

I need to go get some West Wing icons. Do you know of any good ones? (Do you have any that you posted? I love your icons.)

I'll definitely try. I'll need to get someone who actually knows how to do it, like... nerd guys from my class? But if I can figure it out, I'll definitely send one to you!

Are you on YIM tonight? I need to finish up something and take a shower, but after that I'm on.

I am not familiar with Candide... Am I to be shamed? Please enlighten me.

I can enlighten you!

Candide is a picaresque novel by Voltaire. Candide is the operetta by Leonard Bernstein [with additional lyrics by some other people like Stephen Sondheim]. the version that Jillie bought on DVD is from PBS's "Great Performances" and is a semi staged concert version with the New York Philharmonic. it stars some guy as Candide, Kristin Chenoweth as Cunegonde [and she sings a crazy aria "Glitter and Be Gay"], and the fantabulous Patti LuPone as the Old Lady. it's really funny and amazing and things. =D

Well said. Particularly, it stars some guy as Candide, Kristin Chenoweth as Cunegonde, and the fantabulous Patti LuPone as the Old Lady.

Cause that's all that matters, yo.

(Don't you just love We Are Women? It kills me every time Cheno says "thighs".)
