Theater Review: Thoroughly Modern Millie
Guess what, I won again! The tickets were to the same 24th Street Theater to a showing of the play Thoroughly Modern Millie. This play was super cute, about a girl from Kansas that moves to NYC and tries to survive with all her new modern ideas about life and love. I just love the concept because I like to think of myself as alot like Millie, smalltown girl moving to the big city where life is faster and more "modern". This Runaway Productions Company does a great job at bringing these Broadway musicals to the smaller theaters. The cast was familiar as I had seen many of them in the previous show of Cabaret. The only main criticism I have this time is that there wasn't much room for the orchestra so they had them down front and the conductor kinda blocked, or obstructed, the view from the first couple of rows. Other than another job well done! Kudos!

Movin On Up...
...to the east side (well, sorta).
Well I am coming back after my unplanned blogger leave of absence over the past few weeks. No worries cousin J, I am alive! I have just been so busy that I haven't taken the time to write, but have no fear I am back. I currently am in the process of moving into an apartment that is in fact to the east of where I was living before. I am so excited about this move, it is a much more convienant location and a cute little studio apartment. Once I get everything settled and my internet up and running I will post some pictures of my space.
The past few weeks have brought some exciting things into my life, mainly being that my two day a week job has now become three days a week. May not seem like much but it has certainly been nice to keep busy, plus the extra $moola doesn't hurt! I am really enjoying this job and starting to feel very comfortable in understanding what I am doing, which gives me a little more independent work to do.
I also went to Carmel and the beach a few weekends ago and had a great time with Cousin C and family. Carmel was such a cool, quaint little beach town that was fun to explore. I will be posting pictures of that trip and tell you more as well, soon.
Sadly, soon I will no longer "officially" be a Texan as I am getting my CA driver's license and having my car registered here. I must say it is kinda sad to loose that part of my identity, but life must go on. I am actually surprised that I am sad about this because I have always been slighly indifferent about having that identity. Don't get me wrong I LOVE TEXAS, but I am not as hard core a fan as most. I guess as many say "You can take the girl out of Texas, but you can't take the Texas out of the girl!"
