Tired
I didn't sleep very well last night. I must've only gotten a few hours of sleep, but I'm too tired to really think it out. I'm a little brain dead right now.
Air
Today is the day I had planned for changing my site theme to Air. I don't know if I'll go on as planned or not though, since I feel so tired. If not today, then I plan to do it tomorrow.
I spent yesterday re-watching my Air DVDs. It's a really good series, and I really love it. The ending of the series was both sad and happy, because although one of the characters dies, she she dies happy.
Urinetown
On Friday, I went to go see the musical put on by the school drama club. This year they performed "Urinetown". I think it was the best they ever did. Better than when they did "The Sound of Music" or "Fiddler on the Roof", which were some of their better ones. I think what I liked best about this musical, was that they didn't ruin the plot by giving it an everything-is-so-perfect ending.
Basic plot (based on the school version, which was probably edited): There's a drought in town. The poor are unhappy because of rising prices, and that people who can't pay are arrested and killed by the police. So the people are led by an inspiring leader to revolt against their government for better conditions. The leader gets arrested and killed. So the people then form an angry mob, kill the government leaders (most of whom were corrupt), and create a new government led by the people. Unfortunately, although they're all happy they got rid of a corrupt government, the people can't properly govern themselves, so they all die because the necessary functions (such as the hydraulics system to ease the drought) were left unattended. The end.
Quote from the eding scene
Full Lyrics for this Scene
"Officer Lockstock [Narrator]:
Well, as you guessed, Hope [the heroine and main character] took over her father's business, instituting a series of reforms....
Of course, it wasn't long before the water turned silty, brackish and then disappeared altogether. As cruel as Caldwell B. Cladwell [corrupt governor] was, his measures effectively regulated water consumption, sparing the town the same fate as the phantom Urinetown. Hope chose to ignore the warning signs, however, preferring to bask in the people's love for as long as
it lasted."
Well, I'm going to eat now.
Bye
