Still Better Than The Book
Dallas, 11:45 PM: Wicked keeps its ranking of second in my musical list, but the production tonight was slightly different than I was expecting it to be. I guess it wouldn’t make sense for everything to be identical to the first time that I saw it, but there were some noticeable differences between the two. The biggest probably was that at the end, there was quite a bit of dialogue that wasn’t there and actually changed how it ended (not plot wise though, it was still the exact opposite ending of the book). I don’t really want to say whether it was better or worse, but I think I prefer the way I saw it the first time.
Tomorrow we’re having another “pool party” with Brandon, his mom, and Crystal coming over. Aside from that, my day is pretty empty. Since I’ll actually have stuff to do on Saturday, my goal tomorrow will be to make sure all of the house technology is back in working order. The only big thing I have left is to fix the TV streaming to my dad’s laptop (which, in a perfect world, is just a software installation away), but the HTPC upstairs is also giving me difficulties that I’d like to solve. The big server upgrade + Xbox 360 effort seems to be complete though, so I can be happy that at least one part of my plan worked as intended.
