Mother's Day Surprise

Friday, May 11, 2012~

Jason planned a Mother's Day surprise for me this evening. First he took me to my favorite Thai place, Chiang Mai. (I just so happened to have a Groupon there so that was nice too.) It's got a nice ambiance for date night conversation and the food is really good!

After that we strolled down to The Capitol Theater (which use to be the Royalty. It's one of Clearwater's few historic buildings not taken over by the $cientology cult). Earlier Jason had purchased tickets to see Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It was a great surprise. He even thought to pick up snacks for the show.

I was pretty young when that movie came out so I hadn't seen it in the theater. Somehow it's funnier when you watch it with a bunch of strangers. There was also a guy who reminded me of the brother in Something About Mary, a special needs fellow. He was unintentionally saying the funniest things loud enough for the whole theater to hear. It was kind of awesome.

Musical Theater

Friday, April 13th~

Juju's Easter egg is hatching a pretty awesome turtle. Going hard all day...but got to see our cute newborn buddy, Micah, and ended the evening laughing with friends so it's all good. Just a couple more days until we see Wicked! Now I just have to figure out how to get to Newsies. I so hope that show ends up going on tour.

Hunger Games Outing

March 23rd~


Gotta love how bad the phone camera is in dim lighting! Bad angle too...

So this is us at The Hunger Games movie tonight. I'm not going to review it because people who have read the books seemed to feel very differently from those who haven't and I don't know which camp you are in. I enjoyed being there on opening day and we were in fun company. Wish we could've gone out afterwards for more discussion, but the in-laws were at the house and I didn't want to keep them up late.

Fail

Thursday, March 22nd~

So I went back to my alma mater tonight to see a production. I geek out for musical theater so I'll get it where I can. Alumni discount, please! When I was in college, it seemed like we had amazing productions. That could be because I was involved and knew the other people involved. The production tonight... I've seen high school plays that were on par with it. The vocals were great but the acting and stage design and pacing made it a very confusing play. If I were not familiar with the book it's based on, I would have been totally lost. So that was a little disappointing. I seldom go on campus, but when I do, it just makes me miss my old buddies. There are a lot of "ghosts" for me there.
