Is That the King of Pop?
My life has just been crazy lately. First, we moved. There are still boxes all over the place but they are exponentially fewer in number than they have been. We're still getting used to our new place. It's kind of old and strange things sometimes happen. Like the hot water will just stop running at random. And speaking of water, does anybody know what to do about a refrigerator that's leaking? The top shelf is continuously covered in water and I'm not sure what to do about it. That's never happened to me before.
The week after we moved, with practically everything still packed in boxes we went out of town for Thanksgiving. It was nice to get away, not so nice to come back to a disaster area. And lots of homework.
Tomorrow should be my last day of school for awhile. I'll have my associate degree but for all intents and purposes I really should be done with my masters by now. But all things happen for a reason and I'm glad for the decisions that I've made but it would be really great if I was completely done with school by now. C'est la vie. I still have a ton of work to finish up for my classes tomorrow - including a five page persuasive paper on the fact that female genital mutilation is violence against women due to gender inequality in patriarchal societies. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? Hmmmm...
On the bright side: I saw the stage production of Beauty and the Beast this weekend. I figured it would just be kind of cute like the cartoon and I wasn't paying anyways. IT WAS AMAZING. If you ever have the opportunity to see it. Go. Run. Just go. The music (especially the music added for the stage) was beautiful. And there was a lot more character development than in the cartoon. I think it's ranked up there in my top favorite musicals along with The Secret Garden and Big River. I suggest seeing those as well. Stunning.
I also watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory over the weekend, finally. (Now you know why I'm still working on all my homework for my final classes tomorrow). Question: Does anybody else think Willie Wonka as played by Johnny Depp resembles Michael Jackson? I promise, I'm not smoking anything. Seriously. Dark hair, pasty white skin, ambiguous gender and sexuality, Neverland - I mean Candyland - where kids come to visit, serious issues with his father. Really, it could be Michael Jackson. Just sayin'.
