The Phantom of the Opera Is There...

So I successfully hit snooze for forty minutes this morning, still managed to eat a quick breakfast and take a shower and get to class on time.

I got the majority of my actuarial maths homework done, so I headed back to my room, cooked up a nice lunch, and debated taking a nap. I successfully overcame that urge and went to the gym instead (yay willpower!) and then helped Velossa with her probability homework, and went over our architecture notes a little bit.

Caitlin, Vanessa and I ended up getting tickets for The Phantom of the Opera... and tee-shirts, which are really really cool. It was a fantastic show (I almost put "phantastic" to be a tool), I'm so glad I finally got to see it. Although I thought Raoul was a little too old and aggressive and that Christine probably should've had a little more dance training. But the costumes were insane (especially the ones for Masquerade, which is one of my faaaaavorite numbers) and the set was ridiculous. The scenes where they're on the boat were very well done, and the phantom had lots of cool places to appear out of. I think that I liked how Andre was portrayed the most, very goofy and awkward.

Getting the tube back was sort've crazy, it was jam-packed full of people and I almost had to get off a stop before ours, but it luckily cleared out. (If you didn't know, I'm a bit claustrophobic, and when there are big, tight crowds I start to feel like I can't breathe any more since I'm short and tend to not have open air around my head). We were going to make brownies, but decided we were tired and might do that tomorrow instead.

Some random thoughts of the day, since today's entry is pathetically short (or normal length, depends on how you look at it...):

Munchies look like a fantastic candy. Each one has a different phrase written on it, such as, "munch me," "nibble me," "fancy me," "scuff me," etc. Caitlin had to come back and drag me and Vanessa out of the store since we were looking at them all.

Oranges are almost more effort than they're worth. Almost. But they keep me from purely eating nutella when I'm in my room. And smell nice. I like orange tictacs, I haven't had those in a very long time. I used to eat them incessantly, but then they got more expensive which was a sad, sad day :-(

The British version of Jerry Springer probably would've been more entertaining if I'd plugged the headphones in. I might've stayed on the treadmill a bit longer.
