Hey hey hey. So, I�grew tired of Blogger. Yes, again. I�like the site and all it has to offer, and what have you, but I�feel like Iapos;m writing to nobody. At least here I know that my entries are put on friend pages of a few different people, so its someone, right? Right. So, Iapos;m back.

I�copy and pasted the posts I made on Blogger here, so you can catch up if you are *that* bored. And I�obviously am, since I�did it, right?�Right. There are reviews of all the different shows and concerts that Iapos;ve seen since I�left LJ (which, if I�recall correctly, would be... Xanadu, Spring Awakening, How Shakespeare Won the West, A Chorus Line, Adam Pascal Live, Rent... And I�think thatapos;s it. Go look.)

To keep "current", Iapos;ve seen two solo performances that I�need to review, so I�shall:
Carrie Fisherapos;s Wishful Drinking at the Huntington Theatre Company - what a great time. Carrie Fisher, probably best known for playing Princess Leia, is one hilarious woman. Sheapos;s lived a difficult life (ranging from that hairstyle to addictions, to crazy Hollywood parents, to people dying in her bed... You know, the usual), and sheapos;s not afraid to discuss/mock/laugh about it. Which makes this show hilarious. The first act was basically a narrative of her life up until Star Wars, which was very interesting to me, as she told her various anecdotes in a very engaging way. Act Two was a bit more scattered (which is understandable, as it wasnapos;t a real timeline-sort of thing to tell - it was the story of her mental illnesses). In all, it was a great evening at the theatre, one that made my inner Star Wars-obsessed 6th grader jump for joy.

Carrie Underwood. What can I�say about Carrie Underwood?�The girl can SING. Judging by the amount of sustained belting you hear on her album, I�expected a somewhat vocally tired singer, maybe one taking it a bit easy (which I noticed when I�saw Clay Aiken in concert a few years ago - donapos;t judge). But, um, no. Every song was sung at 150, and there was no loss of sheer power by the end of the concert. It was a real treat for someone that has been vocally trained. And yes, I�know I�sound very geeky by saying that. Whatevs. In short, a HIGHLY�enjoyable concert, I�hope to catch her again.

Thatapos;s about all I�got. Iapos;m at work, and this has taken like 2 hours to write anyway, so Iapos;m just going to stop while Iapos;m ahead. Or something like that. Go Sox
