it's clear, we deserve each other

balsamandashSo as stated, this past weekend I was with my family, mostly so my mother and I could go do the Wicked lottery. Friday was kind of a busy mess, so we ended up skipping that and giving our first shot for the Saturday matinee. And won our first shot. Front-row seats.
It was awesome.
The entire thing was absolutely fantastic. Just about every single member of the cast was more perfect than I could have imagined, and they pulled off the growth of the characters amazingly -- Elphaba and Galinda in particular both nailed the feeling of being so young in the very beginning and having gone through so much by the end. Fiyero took about half of Dancing Through Life to grow on me, but once he did, I loved him. The only one I wasn't particularly thrilled by was Nessarose, which, eh, is a very minor character even if I'm ridiculously attached both to her and to the song The Wicked Witch of the East.
Other than that, everything was just goddamn fantastic, I ended act one breathless and in goosebumps, and I somehow managed not to actually break down into tears until the very end. (I got through For Good, but the two of them on the stage during the finale singing the lines from it killed me and I cried all through the bows. Thank Goodness also almost broke me, which it usually doesn't but Glinda was amazing.)
Basically it was so so good and I am so happy I finally got to see it.
So, that worked out, and then I got to run around a park hunting Pokemon with my brothers on Sunday. Then yesterday I got my best friend for my one-day-a-year. So that was good. The only thing that really marred the last few days was the fact that I was barely getting four hours a sleep a day, if that, from Thursday night until today.
But I've finally slept a decent amount, our power was out today but only for like an hour, and I need to get back on track with really doing work stuff. But probably tomorrow. Tonight I will make tacos and maybe continue to write for Lupercalia.
