Ah, bliss.

Right now I'm chilling out before I go to REVOLUTION tonight (which I'm hoping will be better than it has been in rehearsal). Listening to Iron & Wine, drinking Traditional Medicinals throat coat tea, eating celery with panut butter and Rosemary & Olive Oil Triscuits. I'll probably take a hot shower and then straighten my hair. Maybe listen to another chapter of Coraline (which by the way costs $12.95, and the British guy that narrates it? He's the AUTHOR. How amazing is that?). I don't know why I'm blogging about this. I just feel so content right now. And writing relaxes me. So I guess I'm just adding it to my mixture of relaxing things I'm participating in right now hah.

REVOLUTION is basically Vietnam 101: the musical. It has a film projection and everything. But this show really is a lot cooler, I think. I'm really hoping the audience likes it...there are some beautiful moments. I just hope they outweigh the sloppy ones. I mess up the dance moves like it's my job.

A lot of the lyrics are actually pretty poignant. I love listening to the original Beatles songs....they were so different and creative. Hey Jude completely kicks Across the Universe's ass. I love Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Picture yourself in a boat on a river

With tangerine trees and marmalade skies

Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly

A girl with kaleidescope eyes

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green

Towering over your head

Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes

And she's gone

And I love Here Comes the Sun. I know the lyrics are pretty simplistic. But put together with the music, I really like them. Okay I'm rambling at this point. Sorry.

By the way here's a pair of shoes I picked up at Amvets. They caught my eye, but I'm not really sure if I like them anymore. Ehhhh find?

The soles say made in Italy and they're vintage-y looking but...still not sure. They look almost Western to me. Opinions appreciated.

Innovation

I love creative people. I love talking to them, watching them (though not stalking) and I love seeing the crazy stuff they come up with. It may not be logical but it is fun.

The "Apple Jacket." It keeps your apple nice and cozy and doesn't let it get bruised. I usually get huge Golden Delicious apples though...they would probably be an XXL.

"Anti-Theft Lunch Bags." They are the perfect scheme for those sneaky students or co-workers that want to steal a bite of your sandwich. The plastic bags have green spots on them that look like mold...nobody will be touching your food, for

LOVE this one. These rings are called "horny cameos." It shows you how the Victorians really were, as their caption says.

A new way to recycle plastic bags....boots! So innovative.
