So, a greatish weekend. Friday night, I came home from work, read for a bit, played Fallout 3, remembered that Amanda was out to dinner with a friend, finished Fallout 3 (with an unsatisfying ending). I think we also finished the LOST disc. I love rewatching the series ( Read more... )

So, last night, Amanda and I auditioned for the Pajama Game with the Newton County Players. We drove to their performance space first, called Fish to find out what's going on, then went to the wrong address, then went to the right place where we were late to learn the dance. We ran in, took a stab at it, and then the Choreographer said the late ( Read more... )

So, Friday night, we went to see the Boston Pops perform their new Red Sox album. Live music! They opened with a tribute to the Romantic composer Mendhleson (sp), the wedding suite from 'A Midsummer's Night Dream and a violin concerto, soloed by the symphony master. She was really amazing and I found this piece completely mezmorizing. The second ( Read more... )

So, we're huge Kevin James fans, so it's too bad this movie kinda sucked. It's a kids movie, and completely ridiculous. But James was funny at times, I had a few laughs, and we weren't really expecting much. It was like a parody of Die Hard movies.

So, another lovely weekend. Friday, I hung out with Chris for a bit up in Reading ( Read more... )

So, a relaxing weekend if we'd ever had one. Friday night, Amanda and Emily met Laura and Liza at the BSO for a performance of Billy Joel songs from the musical Movin' Out with Michael Cavanaugh. Apparently, Laura is a big Billy Joel fan, so she was thrilled. Chris and Beals came over for Game 4 of the Celts series. We had a god time, though they ( Read more... )

So, I got a facebook message from an old college friend, E. E and I were good friends in college, until 'undergrad drama' as she called it. I think I've written about the crap with Sammy in college, how she claimed she was preggers with my baby, but she told everyone that she had cancer. For attention. And then when I learned the truth last year on ( Read more... )

So, a lot this weekend. Friday night, we went to see Spring Awakening at the Colonial Theater in Boston. It was my Christmas present to Amanda that we could finally enjoy. I picked this show because I wanted to see something new on Broadway. This show won a bunch of Tonys in 2007 and just went on tour. Great music, written by Duncan Sheik. Really ( Read more... )

So, ahhh an excellent, very warm weekend. Friday night, Amanda and I met Fish, Eric and Alanna in Milton for a local production of Seussical the Musical with a good friend of ours as the romantic lead. Chrissy was stupendous. She played Gertrude the bird and had an excellent song in Act 2 where she could be sweet and funny and sing beautifully at ( Read more... )

So, oh man, it's been a long April so far. Three show weekends, and in predictable fashion, I didn't feel too great throughout the run. At the theater, I'm fine, I'm amped, I'm ready to go. But outside, my nerves and thoughts get the better of my stomach, and I felt ill for the weeks and haven't eaten much. I've definitely lost weight and an inch ( Read more... )
