wicked was amazing. i had goose bumps the entire show and tears in my eyes at one point. it was just an all around awesome production. the costumes and set designs were some of the coolest things i've ever seen. everyone should go see it.
i forgot to write about going to the art institute finally. i took work off on wednesday (made up for the hours on thursday) and alisha and i went. i love art and i've lived in chicago for nearly 5 months now...so i figured it was time to go. i didn't know that so many of my favorite paintings were there. i was really excited to see some stuff by chagall and i found the painting by jules breton that willa cather wrote about in her novel with the same title, "song of the lark". they also had a lot of van gogh and rodin. i've now seen 2 of van gogh's self portraits: one at the musée d'orsay in paris and one right here in chicago. alisha also showed me the miniature rooms they have on display, which were amazingly detailed.
btw...i have no idea why i'm up this early. i woke up at 6a.m. and can't get back to sleep. i thought about downloading last night's grey's anatomy, but if i wait until 7p.m. today for the encore it'll save me $1.99 and i'm at a spot right now where two bucks is not chump change.
i think i'll start paint it black by janet fitch. actually...maybe i'll just finally pass out and sleep 'til noon.
