Culture QotW: Play Time

nobody@vox.com(Majicke) — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 20:32:10 +1000

Star Theatre, Sydney

What's your favorite play and why?

Well I don't really have a favourite play at the moment, although I definitely prefer musicals. I did go and see two musicals (which I thoroughly enjoyed) on the weekend.

Zenophran and I went to Sydney to see The Phantom of the Opera at the Lyric Theatre in Sydney. It was a birthday present from my parents and I'd been looking forward to it for ages.

Phantom was absolutely brilliant, especially seeing it had Anthony Warlow in the lead role. I'd missed out seeing him 10 years ago in Melbourne as Rob Guest had taken over. This time, Anthony Warlow is the Phantom. He is really, really good. :) One other thing that was much improved since I last saw it was the sound quality. :) They even used surround sound and it was gooooood!!

The other show I got to see was The Rocky Horror Show. I hadn't even realised that it was on at the moment, but when we got to StarCity on friday night, we saw the posters everywhere and just had to get tickets. I have just one comment about that - you got to love a theatre with built-in cocktail glass holders in the chairs!!

Why do you blog?

Right now I'm blogging to distract me from the mountain of study I need to do.

In other news, I got a free book in the mail today. It's not my usual genre, but I'll probably give it a go. Either that or it will go straight to the bookcrossing pile..

Campfire night

nobody@vox.com(Majicke) — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 22:46:03 +1000

Burning

We had a special group night with the scouts tonight.

It is the Queen's Birthday holiday here and it is the one weekend of the year that we are allowed to buy and use fireworks.

This year they even had parachutes for sale!! The little kids had control of the sparklers and the grownups set off the fireworks for all to see.

All the sections were involved (even the joeys) and everyone had a great time cooking marshmallows around a proper campfire.

Fun and Games at the local shops

nobody@vox.com(Majicke) — Thu, 22 May 2008 18:21:01 +1000

Was down the shop getting food today, when I noticed a few people scurrying. Next thing I know, there is a bus rolling forward with no driver at the wheel and it was pretty obvious it wasn't going to stop.

When I came out of the shops, the fire-ys and cops had arrived..

Luckliy there was no one in that part of the building when the bus hit it.
