I'm back

Back from Edinburgh and London :P

As you can see, Scotland's all about it's landscape; everywhere you look you find a lake; everything is upholstered with the greenest green you'll ever see, and you practically never see the sun, which makes it a bit melancholic.

Anyway...bought myself some goodies... 4 new teas, a yellow submarine tea infuser, and a ceramic tea-drinking-travel-mug...

8 books*:

-'Scottish-English' (for the linguistic geeks)
-'A Game of Thrones' (for the HBO series fan geek - yeahhhh!)
-Charles Dickens's 'Great Expectations' (for the classical geeks)
-'Scotland a very quick history' (for the history geeks)
-'Wicked' (The novel that inspired the best musical ever - for the musical geeks)
-Victor Hugo's 'Les Misérables' (for the "I went see the mindblowing musical now I must read the book" geek)
-A beautiful 1932 hard-cover edition of 'The three Musketeers' (for the "I like old hard-cover editions" geek)
-A beautiful recent hard-cover edition of 'The complete tales and poems of Edgar Allan Poe' (for the creepy geek)


I saw in Scotland a small production of "Jesus Christ Superstar", I must admit I hated the movie, but the live musical was great.

In London I saw STOMP! Live percussion with everyday household objects....AMAZING



And of course, I went see Les Mis...."I dreamed a dream" performed by my two platonic loves from Glee...



*Books are available for borrowing

This is madness

B once posted a threat, and i quote:

"There is one condition, though. If you do find this interesting and wish to pursue reading, you absolutely must watch "Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain", by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, starring the über-lovely Audrey Tautou as Amélie.

If you haven't seen it, go and rent it. You don't have to like it. Just watch and think about it.
Deal? Great."

As she did, I do.

I want you to watch RENT the movie, based on the broadway musical by Jonathan Larson. If you haven't seen it, do. If you have, do it again.
I consider this to be my favorite movie/musical. The actors are great (Idina Menzel I LOVE YOU!!!), the lyrics are great, the music is great. This movie has it all.
For those of you not familiarized with the plot, it's about a group of friends trying to afford rent whilst fighting HIV in a 1989 NYC (a modernized version of "La Bohéme" opera).

If you're not convinced yet, watch this, the opening song from the movie and probably the most known of RENT, Seasons of love.



Goose bumps?
If you want more, this is the original Rent cast live at the Tony Awards.
Total must see.



Impossible not to cry, right?
