Feeling much better today, though still full of phlegm ;-p

I slept 14 hours last night and spent most of the early part of the day on the couch. Around 2pm I showered and got dressed and drove to Columbus. I met my sister at her apartment because she wanted to hear the "clicking noise" that was apparently what the urgent care docs had heard Thursday night that led them to think pneumonia. She couldn't find it, so I guess I am getting better. Or she just sucks with a stethoscope ;-p Also, I am not a cat.

We met my dad at Akai Hana for dinner. YUM JAPANESE FOOD. Their sushi is pretty good, but maybe I'm just loyal to Sake, but they really do have some of the best sushi I've tried. I also had a salmon teriyaki appetizer and a shrimp tempura appetizer. YUM. I had to dine and dash and leave my dad with the bill, though ^^;; Because I was late to see....


SPAMALOT!! This show is part of a four-show-package deal I bought myself for my birthday. I got to my seat about 2 minutes before the show started. EXCELLENT seat, row D, left center. I was hoping it would be THE seat, but as soon as I saw it wasn't an aisle seat I knew it wouldn't be. I was seat D121 and THE seat was D101. SO CLOSE!!

The show was just as good as when I saw it last year. The cast was fantastic. I much much MUCH preferred the current Lady of the Lake to the one we saw last year. The one last year sang from her throat too much. The one tonight was excellent.

I was surprised by how short the show was; with intermission it was just about two hours. I guess I'm more used to Wicked's 2 hour and 45 minute running time. ^_^

Speaking of Wicked, only [livejournal.com profile] thepookey and [livejournal.com profile] kerinda wanted to go with me in January, right? Because tickets go on sale IN THE NEXT WEEK, so I need to know who's going!!

When would you be going? I've never seen it, but I really want to.

I'd be available to go on a Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday matinee, or Sunday evening show (the Sunday shows are cheaper). I prefer to sit as close as possible, which is pricey, but I think Marie wanted to sit further back to save some cash, so if you wanted to go that option you could go with us, if we could figure out good date.

The show runs from Jan 9-Feb 3, but I can't do Jan 13.

I can do Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening. I usually work 8-4:30p on Sundays.

Where is the show playing? I've never seen it, and I'd love to go.

Spamalot is AWESOME. My friend Steve and I made a special trip to NYC to see it on Broadway. And Alan Tudyk was playing Lancelot!!! I LOVE ALAN TUDYK. To the point where I was so in shock during the last 1/4 of Serenity that I didn't even see the rest of the movie.
But anyway. Spamalot. Good. Show.

I AM OFFICIALLY JEALOUS!! I'm so mad I didn't get a chance to see the original broadway cast, Hank Azaria OR Alan Tudyk, David Hyde Pierce, TIM CURRY! You are so lucky ^_^

It was a pretty awesome trip. We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria, too. Best bed EVAH!
I'm a huge Monty Python freak, so Spamalot on Broadway was a must. Wish I'd been able to do the same for Rent.
