The ballet

Today i went to see the Joffrey Ballet perform Cinderella.
I love the ballet and like all things i love some one around me manages to ruin it. =(
A small child was seated behind me kicking my chair till the point i couldn't take it anymore. i turned around n snapped at her to stop. Oblivious mom remained oblivious.


Note to self: matinee show is for old ladies and children–AVOID the matinee show at all costs.


All in all i really liked the show. The last professional ballet i saw was the nutcracker and i don't even remember how old i was. I love the theater and would really like to go as much as possible. I saw the DePaul theater school perform A Raisin in the Sun and that was fantastic, aside from the irritating audience clapping and laughing when nothing was happening.

is it possible to watch a show with only people you like in the room? if so, where?

I think i'm going to try and see Cinderella again with friends and the evening show that starts after bedtime.

watch the preview for Cinderella its lovely.

touch my swag

so its snowing...
like really snowing like blizzard of '95 snowing.
Me and my sister, Kai were up talking to Lady and Daddy about snowing and how much it sucks. The blizzard of '95 was pretty boss though. it was like 3 feet of snow.

i discovered today that i fell into a snow bank....maybe that's why i don't like the snow.
Not like anyone left me there, but the snow was high enough for me to fall in and be briefly buried. i don't remember this. i'm ok with that, it sounds scary.

what i do remember:
Lady woke us up in the middle of the night to go out in the snow. We were little, may have been before the blizzard of 95 hit hard.
Lady made a big heart in the center of the apartment's courtyard out of foot prints.
The memory is like a dream sequence in a fuzzy warm feeling kind of movie.

Kai was dancing on the porch singing this song:


i'm not sure why because she looked crazy and knew i had a camera in hand....


then we heard "gun shots" ran for cover and fell.

Playing in the snow is dangerous

GRILLED CHEESE




WTF IS THIS CRAP!!!???

if you don't know how to effectively make a grilled cheese sandwich you need to get the hell out of the kitchen.
Butter side down is messy. There are these magic tools called cheese knives and motor skills. Get some before attempting to cut cheese.

PS. my grilled cheese sandwiches are FANFREAKINTASTIC
