I don't have the words to describe really. What I can say is that... I NEEDED this! A break, friends, a sister, a concert, a coffee, and a movie. ( i probably could have used sleep too, but we'll over look that for now)
It was so nice to leave Luther today and make my way home with Leah and Krista. It felt good to get away. THe weather was great, and the ride was a bit long at first, but we managed. We saw Krista off into the care of her sister and Leah and I headed to find my sister and to see one EXCELLENT concert, provided by Missy Higgins. Not only was the venue great, the beer tasty, and Missy's accent a warm reminder of those I miss, but her show was AMAZING! She's, as Leah said, probably "cooler than I'll ever be". It was definitely a nice little intimate concert with Missy Higgins. So good to have her explain some of her songs and just to hear her live again! And of course I loved listening to Aussie talk.
We said bye and happy turkey day to Leah and then headed for coffee and home. SO nice to see mom and dad, and to find some photos from the summer and earlier this fall that mom had taken. Good memories. Oh and let me not forget my phone call from Davina, with some of the most hilarious news!" He's NOT getting married. THey broke up! " -- at least that's one more I don't have to worry about.
And then.......
To Lakeville... almost an hours drive... Why?
Well, To see RENT! of course.......
All I have to say, is that I loved it, and I always did. Mad props to Jesse L. Martin and Anthony Rapp. Kudos to Rosario Dawson, I didn't feel let down. Adam Pascal... how could I not like thee? Overall? L-O-V-E-D... LOVED it! RENT is just amazing in itself. I reckon Jonathan Larson would be proud of what RENT has accomplished and how much more it can. I refuse to have anyone tell me it was a crap movie or that putting it on the big screen is selling out. I can't express myself very well, so just take it as is. Again, i needed this. And it was definitely a great day. NO doubt that I need sleep tomorrow. I said I would work Wednesday morning. :-P It's 3:30 am! I leave for work with dad in 2 and a half hours! I'm sure I can make it.
No Day But Today

Whoa, Missy Higgins is in the states right now??
I thought she was still here, what with her voice being bandied about all over the radio as I mop the floor at Hungry Jacks!
That is really cool though, I hope she gets successful over in the states, it's a pretty hard thing for that uniquely aussie brand of music to do. Yet she is definitely that talented and writes stuff that everyone can relate to.
I have never seen RENT and I don't really know what it's about, although I remember the cast from about 7 years ago came over and performed on Hey Hey it's Saturday... that's a popular saturday night show that used to run from Melbourne here. Always been quite fascinated and now that it's got good reviews from you I think I will have to check it out!
Peace to you Em, my pretty!
Luv Mel =D
Actually, I'm glad for this news. At first I was rather disappointed that our guess wasn't correct. But if it had been ... I think both of us would've gotten sick!
