So inbetween unpacking from europe, packing for canada, and watching the olympics, I've been a very busy fangirl.
In a rare moment of pure geekdome, I bought myself this ipod. I'd been looking for a new ipod, as mine's kinda bit the dust, so it really worked out perfectly!
This article on Wicked has me quite annoyed. Well, specifically this bit:
"Yes, there will be a movie someday, but Stone said it probably won't be for seven to 10 more years. Yikes! Creators struggle with not wanting a movie to pull focus from the tours and Broadway shows. (Incidentally, he also said it will not star Kristin Chenoweth, who "just turned 40.")"
Wha?? A very young forty, though! Do they not understand the huge amount of people who would sell their grandmothers to see Kristin be galindafied again? Also, all this talk of a movie hurting the stage play is as ridiculous as the producers of Harry Potter worrying that no one will see their movies now the seventh book is out. Stupid powers that be! I mean, I know people who specifically have gone and seen Hairspray on stage solely because of the movie. They wouldn't have heard of it otherwise. Movies stir up interest in the play. Garrr!!!
In other Kristin news, I've uploaded her old interview with Ellen - the 'lit my own hair on fire' one if anybody wants it. Here!
I saw Wicked in Melbourne last sunday!! It was phenomenal!! It's the first time I've ever seen Wicked, and I was so nervous about whether I'd like it or not. But, wowsers, it really is fabulous. The production values are amazing!! They've really gone all out, which they don't often do when musicals come to Aus. The Australia-specific merchandise is super awesome!! I got the most hilarious tshirt with a picture of Australia and a big 'Welcome to OZ!' over it. ANZ, one of our major banks here, has been running poster ads all over Melbourne that feature Idina as Elphie with the words 'ANZ, official bank of OZ'. Ha! I nearly died when I saw a 3 storey high billboard of Idina opposite Flinders St Station!! I'm guessing they didn't have any photos of the Aussie cast, but I'm not complaining ;)
Actually, speaking of the Aussie cast (who were amazing!), check out this hiiillllarious video of Amanda & Lucy on a radio show recently. They do an 'aussie-fied' version of 'What is this feeling?' that's all to do with bogans. Oh how I laughed! If you love over-the-top Aussie accents, then this one's for you. ps - a bogan is, erm, like 'white trash' i suppose. Cultural stereotypes are kinda hard to translate!
Bwahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
