Performing tonight, for one night only...

Hey all,


Glad I've got some people stopping by to read at my own little corner of the web.

I just saw Mamma Mia! with my girlfriend.  She said I had to take her so that she wouldn't be embarrassed about going.  She's a costuming and theater student and she's not fond of the play, but she was wildly interested in the movie, so we went.  I was quite interested in it as well, being a lover of a good rock opera.

For those not in the know, Mama Mia! is a musical written around the songs of pop supergroup ABBA.  It's about a girl getting married who invites three men to her wedding to find out which one of them is her father.  The movie features an ensemble cast including Meryl Streep, Stellan Skarsgard, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Christine Baranski, and Julie Walters (Mrs. Weasley...YAY!).

For people who enjoy musicals, any of the people listed, ABBA, rock operas, Greece, or movies like Thelma and Louise or The Banger Sisters, I'd give this one a try.  The only downside is having ABBA in your head all day long if you don't enjoy ABBA music.  I do enjoy it, so it isn't a downside for me, but you WILL find yourself humming or singing ABBA songs to yourself.  Try to go with it.

I've been told that blog entries are better shorter than longer, so I'll end this one early.  If you like or don't mind the longer ones, let me know.  I could talk forever!

But for now...

Mama Mia, here I go again...ANTIMATTER, how could I resist ya?
