"You and Iiiiiiii, defyyyyying graaaavity..."

I spent the entire four-hour battery of my iPod on songs from Wicked today. Huh. One of these days, I'll totally see that show. I hope, anyway. (Although the grammatical error in the song I quoted in my subject line irritates me. C'est la vie, I suppose. Or la rhyme scheme.)

It helped me get through the 450-page package I did today, anyway. (The 450 figure is a bit disingenuous as far as the amount of work involved; about 400 of those pages were composed of four catalogues which I just dragged into my document and didn't have to mark up at all. Actually finding the things in the labyrinthine website o' brochures took a bit of work, but not a whole lot more than the usual sort of package. Of course, the print room, which has to make 15 copies of it and ship it off on Monday, hates me now, but...*)


* For the curious, that is 6,750 sheets of paper used, which equals 13.5 reams of paper, or a little less than 10% of the average pine tree.

I am trying very, very, very hard not to jump up and down and squeee, because as you may have noticed from my LJ of late, I am oh-so-slightly obsessed with Wicked. :)

One of these days, I'll totally see that show. I hope, anyway.

Er. Would that desire extend to seeing bootleg videos? And/or listening to full-length bootleg audios of the live show? Because if so, I can definitely hook you up...

Heh. Yes, I noticed. I had a brief fling with this soundtrack when Chandra introduced me to it in... early 2005? Sometime in junior year. But I hadn't listened to it for a while since then, and I never really knew more than the basic story until I looked it up on Wikipedia yesterday.

Hmmmm. Bootleg videos sound interesting, but I think I may just wait for the the full theatre experience. Thanks, though. If I change my mind, I'll know who to come to. :)
