The Color Purple but Stuck in OZ

I forgot to tell you all about the play I went to on Sunday. Mr. Alan has season tickets to this years Tour of Broadway in Spokane. That means we get to go to 4 Broadway Shows this year. The first we went to was "Phantom of the Opera". Sunday, was "The Color Purple". I had never seen the movie, nor heard of what it was about. So I had very low expectations.

To my surprise the play was AWESOME! I enjoyed the story, the music, and the acting! I was shocked, and so was Mr. Alan. I think we both had such low expectations, and such high expectations for Phantom, that we both enjoyed Purple much better! I was a little worried about seeing the "real" Broadway shows the weekend prior...but it didn't ruin it for me....EXCEPT THE MUSIC! I was Stuck in OZ and Wicked. During intermission, and after the play was over...all I could sing was the Wicked music. Maybe I need the Purple soundtrack!

Here was the drapes for the Wicked show in NYC. I definitely belong in Emerald City. I give full blame to the Wizard of OZ for making me like Rubys and Emeralds as much as I do.

Louie and I are also applying for next seasons Survivor! Applications are due Jan. 14th. One of the questions on the application is, "what is your favorite movie." I answered: "the Return to Oz". It was the first movie that popped into my mind, and I thought it was fitting. After watching my first full season of Survivor, I realized that I am probably not as tough as I thought I was. I could endure the physical aspect of the show...but the mental aspect of backstabbing, lying, and sneaking around would be quite tough. I have full respect for Bob who won this last season...a 57 year old high school physics teacher! Amazing...

Last night was pretty low key. Chicken Salad and breadsticks for dinner...and lots of catching up on the TV shows! Heroes had an interesting thought last night...if you were inject with "ability making solution", what ability would you receive. It has to do with what you really want, and your type of personality. Louie thinks I would get some sort of fire, heat ability...because I love the sun/heat so much. I don't know...I am thinking that ability to breathe under water might be cool...which ability would you get?

Breathing underwater was the 2nd thing I thought of for you after the fire thing.

Man it just keeps snowing...i bet you have way more than we do...I am NOT looking forward to my drive home.

I want the speedster ability...that would be fun.

How about the ability to regulate your own body temperature! Then I wouldn't be so freaking cold all the time!

I would like the ability to keep all of the people I love close to me at all times and have them actually WANT to hear about my hip!!!

The other ability would be to eat all that I want and never gain a pound...
