Avenue Q in SF

Everyone I know knows that I am a theatre snob. I have always preferred watching musicals on Broadway because the touring company is just not as good but I'm going to retract that statement. Arvin and I went to see Avenue Q here in SF today. I liked it a lot more than when I saw it on Broadway. The cast was amazing! Really notable performances by the touring cast. Well, most of them got to play it on Broadway before the tour.

This is my 16th show for this year. :)

I'm off to NY in a few weeks so I'm looking forward to seeing the shows that I haven't seen.

Cheers!

Traveling again (Houston)

I seem to have a lot more time to blog whenever I am traveling. Well, guess what? I have been traveling this week. The city of destination is Houston (again).

This is my third trip to Houston this year. The first time I ever came to Houston was in August last year and I swore that I would not go here in August. But oh well... Sometimes things do not necessarily go as planned.

My mom was commenting that I'm such a jet setter now. I do enjoy traveling. As long as I don't have to do it every week or spend most of my time on the road. I think this is my fifth trip this year. Don't think I'll ever top last year but we'll see. It's only August.

Anyways, I'm going home tomorrow and I really can't wait. I'm already so sick of the heat and humidity. It's just so hateful outside during the day. Quite ironic, eh since I grew up in the Philippines. Well, you know what they say, your blood thins out after a while and I have gotten so acclimatized to the weather in Northern California. The AC unit at home kicks on when it reaches 74F indoors. ;) Yep, I have gotten spoiled. I don't know what I'll do when I go home to the Philippines. The weather is almost the same as Houston.

I wish I could blog about interesting things during this trip. Unfortunately, it has been very BORING (yes in caps!). There's just nothing going on in this town this week. No ballgames. No concerts. No theatre. No symphony. Someone suggested that I go to NASA and check it out. I considered it however, I don't think I'm that interested looking at dead spaceships.

I think I've been to Houston way too many times over the past 2 years. I'm able to go around downtown without using a GPS in the car! I still can't find my way outside downtown but oh well. That's why the rental car has a GPS. heheheh....

I really am looking forward to going home. If I was in NYC, I would've loved being able to stay for the weekend. Oh well... few more weeks and I'm off to NYC.

Lion King meets Elle Woods

This is pretty hilarious. I almost fell off my chair when I saw this. The music is from Legally Blonde the musical.



I love the soundtrack for Legally Blonde the musical. Been listening to it non-stop for the past few days. I saw it when it was still in previews in San Francisco. I might watch it on Broadway next time I'm in New York. I never expected to like it since it'a another movie musical but it was very entertaining.

Yikes! 2 Months of No Blogs

Uhoh... I have been very remiss in my blogging duties for over 2 months. No, I'm not giving up blogging. It's actually pretty exhilarating writing down my thoughts plus I can't give up now, I've been blogging for over a year!

It's not like nothing much has been going on with me and I have nothing to write about. My excuse is, I've been pretty lazy. :)
