A musical week :)

candylandWell, back on campus after a short break. Back to the regular classes and all that fun stuff.
As the title of this entry states, I've had a very musical week. It actually started when my friend Rachel and I were talking last week, and she asked if I wanted to go see The Phantom of the Opera movie with her on Monday. Naturally, I jumped at the chance. See, my sister and I grew up on the soundtrack of that great musical, with Sarah Brightman as Christine and the indomitable Michael Crawford as the illustrious Phantom. So when I heard they'd made a movie, I thought I had died and gone to Heaven--provided they did a good job.
So at four o'clock, we huddled into the movie theatre and were swept away for two hours on the wings of a black cape (okay, bad metaphor, but you get the idea). It was wonderful. I was enthralled and enchanted. It did take a litle bit for me to get used to the voices--like I said, I've grown up listening to Michael Crawford singing Music of the Night, but I was overall impressed with Gerard Butler's Phantom and Emmy Rossum's Christine. I heart it!
Well, we got out of there at about six-thirty, and went to sit in the Food Court. After about five minutes, Rachel said there was another showing at seven--so we decided to go again :P Rachie works at the movie theatre, so we could get in for free. It was just as great the second time around. The only downside is that I've been singing 'The Point of No Return' and 'Learn to Be Lonely' to myself almost nonstop for the last several days...
I came home and told my parents about it--the ones who introduced me to that soundtrack. My father promptly called me a twit, in reference to the fact that he wants to see it too. Isn't he sweet?
And last night was the ultimate night for my sister and I--Arwen and I went to see Les Miserables. It came to our city, and we got to go. It. Was. ORGASMIC!!! I swear to God, my ears were joygasming the entire time. It was better than chocolate! When Jean Valjean (the main character) finished one song, called 'Bring Him Home,' which ends on a very high note, the applause went on for a good ninety seconds. It was magical, musical, and everything I'd hoped it would be.
So now I get to start poking around on the internet in search of a good price on the soundtrack :) What can I say, I'm having a pretty damn good week so far! But tell me--do you hear the people sing?
Luvs,
