People with homes are so rarely cold at night that I just don’t think homes are necessary anymore.

It's too laaaaaaaate

It's too late. Topologize

One of my favorite bands has a song about this. "Nobody said you need a ghost to have your house be haunted." youtu.be/Zx_ck8gBgUs?...

I like to bet people to see if they can guess my star sign. No one has within the first several guesses lol

Anyways yeah Hamilton is good actually. Whoooo possibly could have guessed this.

And then by midway through act 2 I was definitely, actually quite emotionally invested, and then—the climax.

I definitely just stared into the space in front of me for like a good several seconds after the ovation.

And a bunch of stuff like that. But eventually I was like, "Well, I should have the amount of good time I can have and not stress over whether my experience is all it could be, in some other, better situation."

And this held through the first song, which I missed quiiiiite a lot of words in. And it held for a while, because musicals that cover huge spans of time are usually worse to me than ones that don't, and I was like "oh no yeah, this would be one of those wouldn't it."

Or, y'know, *have* been worth the ticket price.

The point being, I went into this kind of afraid that I wouldn't have a ~transcendent experience~, that I'd let down this musical and myself, and that it wouldn't be worth the ticket price.

(I did not actually throw up.)

(Fun fact! Did you know that riding in vehicles is a skill your body can have? Something it can be acclimated to? And you might know that in an emergency, it's more important to exit the area quickly than for your housemate's driving to be perfectly smooth. Hurk.)

And then! I've had a lot happening in the last week and have been sleeping pretty garbagely. And then Berkeley Didn't Have a Tsunami, (but we still drove for the hills on three minutes notice and learned that it wasn't supposed to happen for an hour and drove back for the cats).

I'd planned to watch the Disney+ version with my girlfriend first because I have shit audio processing and didn't think I'd be able to understand enough of it without being able to read it. But we didn't do it far enough in advance and then she was out of town for Thanksgiving.

Wow I really thought it was impossible for Hamilton not to be overhyped, but going into the climax, seen live, unspoiled—almost a decade late—yeah. Yeah, I get it now.

They're just little design details that would not have read well on stage but do on film, and that feel perfectly in line with the vibe of the whimsy everything else is setting up. And then they elevate it.

Most things I could say about #wicked already have been (and by people I know), except that among the thousands of incredible details that cost a ton of money to get perfect, there were two cheap things I really liked: the swirl on Elphaba's glasses and the shape of the Grimmerie.

The cover of Terry Spear's "A Billionaire Wolf For Christmas". A price sticker lists it as being $1.49 from Ollie's.

oh hey I have that one

Wow, this looks great! I love the density of the color; it looks like it would be great to touch. Hope your dog recovers well.

Hype!! And this promo art looks so goooood
