Gracelessness, Magic Flute, True Blood, and Movie Monday!!

I have slammed my knee into two different things today and both times it hurt so bad I wanted to either pass out or throw up. Did it happen while I was saving burning orphans from a building? Did it happen in a lab accident while I was curing cancer? Did it happen when I was serving my country in a foreign land? No...the first time I was getting into Erin's car and the second time I ran into the coffee table. I couldn't be more pathetic if I tried. Erin, my compassionate and caring roommate, laughed at me while I writhed in tears on the floor. That's love man.

I'm saddling up for a week of dress rehearsals and awesome performances of The Magic Flute!
The rehearsals have been going really well and the I think the final project will be spectacular. I can't believe it's only 5 days away! The music is all in German with English super-titles and the dialogue has been wittily re-written in English. It is funny and family friendly. Watching professionals own the stage is such an awe-inspiring experience. My mom is coming and I can't wait for her to see it. EVERYONE SHOULD SEE IT!!! That's just my humble opinion of course...but...you should probably get your tickets, like yesterday!

I've started reading the Sookie Stackhouse novels. I've watched True Blood since the beginning and figured that I should commit to reading the print behind the awesomeness. I'm pretty addicted.
It got to the point last night that I was watching True Blood on TV while I was reading the 5th Sookie Stackhouse novel. I sang along to the theme song and made up fun new harmonies. All of these things make me a nerd on soooo many levels. When Adrian came over, I geeked out all over the place. I'm heartbroken that I don't have HBO because I can't watch the new episodes until they are released on DVD. I haven't even seen all of season 4 yet! I'm working on it though. I never thought that I could get into a show set in the deep south. No offense to those who live/lived there, but the accent makes it really hard for me to take them seriously. I'm going to fault Larry the Cable Guy for my subconscious stereotype. ANYWAY!!!  I love it and I'm whipping through these books as quickly as I can. If you haven't read them, do it!

MOVIE MONDAY!!!

All of my dreams finally came true at 9:20 pm on Sunday night. I bought my $3 ticket to the discount theatre, bought my reasonably priced popcorn, and sat in my broken theatre seat to see Magic Mike. I don't know where to begin! I don't really know what the movie was about, but who really cares!? Movie makers didn't put Matthew McConaughey, Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Alex Pettyfer, and Joe Manganiello on screen half naked because they wanted to sell a really deep, intellectual plot. They put these beautiful creatures in front of me in their natural form so that I could enjoy the constant ripple of their well-toned muscles. And so I did. And I would do it again...on repeat for days. Jared said that it was funny...but like I said...the details are fuzzy for me. I'll take his word for it. I recommend it for anyone who wants to delude themselves about what middle aged men look like. Enjoy the pictures and enjoy your week. Peace!
