You may try to check my journal tomorrow. But you won't see anything new. Why? Because I will be flying down the slopes, at breakneck speed (or a little slower), at Steamboat Springs, Colorado. I'll be gone for 5 days (three days of skiing) - I'll be back on Tuesday. I can hardly wait to ski - I've been checking the weather forecast constantly for three days, it looks perfect. Yeh skiing!

Last night I went to see Rent with some friends. I had kind of built it up in my head, because so many people who share my tastes in musicals raved about it. It did have its moments. But the whole first Act was basically unintelligible (bad sound?). If I didn't know the plot of La Boheme, I think I would've been completely lost (as it was Jen & Stephanie were completely lost). And I'm a member of the rock 'n roll generation and used to listening to unintelligible lyrics -- I wonder what my elders would think about it. To add to the distractions, there was a bird lose in the hall and it kept flying through the spotlight, which was very amusing. The second Act was better - there was defininitely more memorable music (though I did really like "La Boheme Vie" and I think that was in the first Act). I was caught completely off-guard by the ending (I expected something different, again based on La Boheme) so I walked out in a little bit of shock, because I mentally prepared for one thing and got the complete opposite.

Ok, I need to buckle down and get some work done today and stop day dreaming about skiing.
