I say the stage show of Beauty and The Beast last night. It was....alright. I wasn't fond of all the extra songs and the Disney happy-sappy came off quite poorly on stage. I didn't think the girl playing Belle was wonderful; she could sing very well but she had this put on American accent (or maybe it was a very thick real one, hard to say) and I just never quite *believed* her as Belle. Gaston on the other had was amazing. Apparently he's the weatherman off TV3 and I loved him to bits. He had amazing presence, a great way of moving and a very powerful voice. Love love love.
I didn't sleep well last night. Maybe because of the hype from the show or maybe because I got my tiara yesterday and it made me wedding excited. My sister suggested that it's wedding stress that's been fueling my inner rage and not sugar at all and I suspect she's right. I'm currently squashing all my emotions about the wedding right down so I don't freak out and that's never healthy.
My tiara is lovely. When I have time I will take a picture of it and post it up here so you can appreciate the girly.
I am currently reading the Various by Steve Augarde which is another modern fairies type book. It's longer than it needs to be and I'm finding I can skip great paragraphs of descriptive detail. It's good though, quite amusing and full of very evocative imagery.
I am veyr much looking forward to Kapcon although I hope I don't wear myself out. It's looking like I'll have very little downtime over the weekend, without Monday to recover really so I'll have to be careful. I don't really want to get sick until after the honeymoon.

snap! i'm reading an update-of-faiy story book too. Wicked by.. Gregory Maguire. purely cos it had an interesting premise, and he seems to have done a few in the same vein, so i figure - if i like it, that's a guaranteed 3 other books to read. is Wizard of Oz from the Wicked Witch of the West's PoV. will reserve judgement til i'm a lil further in, but is okay so far. also bought a (Dymocks sale - ironically, all but 1 of my purchases wasn't on sale) graphic novel called.. Hollow Ground, i think which was interesting. plus more Tintin (despite it being less exciting that i remembered) and Where the Wild Things Are, to complete the other Sendar books i have.
have been O'Ding on coffee today and yesterday, which when i'm PMTing means v lil sleep for Zephfi, so i'll undoubtably be up all night again and have them finished by tomorrow!

Yeah I've heard mixed reviews about the Beauty and Beast show. But saw Russell Dixon on 3 news and he looked so cute and excited to be in the show! Cool!
Posted by: sok at January 20, 2006 03:10 PMHeh did you see the news the other night where Russell forgot the day... and Hillary helped him out by saying 'Friday' - except it was Thursday... heh heh. I'd hate to have a job like that. I bet I wouldn't make it through a week without accidentally swearing.
*hugs* I hope you can get a wee bit of relaxment over the weekend...
Posted by: phreq at January 20, 2006 04:45 PMBest wishes for Kapcon! Remember, there must be photographs of you *and* the Opera Ladies. And the others. And stuff. Definitely stuff :).
Yay tiara! That first morning you wake up after the wedding is likely to feel *awesome*. So low stress you'll be floaty...
