In which I should be sleeping.
Nov. 8th, 2007 12:09 amYeess, well, it's a tad embarrassing to yawn through an entire afternoon training session. People tend to take it the wrong way and all. Ah, well...
But hey, I couldn't let the Ugly Betty/Wicked mash-up/crossover go without comment. Unfortunately, that comment ranges between 'WTF?!' and 'ick'. Shame, really, because thematically they work. And pro-shots of any of the Wicked casts are few and far between these days (not sure I've seen any of the LA cast before, did wonder why it all looked unfamiliar!). But the whole ep left me cold, the songs didn't work in context, and the stage-crashing was just... odd. And tiresome...
And why are there no cheap seats left now for the London production, dammit!
On a completely unrelated note, the thought of there only being two more days of training before we're actually supposed to start work is a tad terrifying. The prospect of any more arguments breaking out about fact-checking is also quite scary (we notched up two on various subjects by lunchtime, but hell, I'm staying out of it. I don't even pretend to know that much). Possibly more scary is the thought of there not actually *being* any work for us to do (although that was a nice jam-packed Queen's speech, so we live in hope) as Christmas is coming pretty damn soon...
But hey, walking home past all those buildings is still an amazing novelty. I keep walking into people (hopefully not the nice parliament policeman with their submachine guns) trying to catch another glimpse of a floodlit Westminster Abbey - which may well be the prettiest building in the world, ever. Can't really think of another contender when the light is right. And it's probably a mark of having lived just outside the City my entire life that I've never been inside *toodles off to check the website for opening hours*.
Must.. sleep.... now...
