Yes, Thats right, I went to see rent again. I love it and dont think i'll ever get tired of it.
One super cool thing that really excited me was that Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal were playing Mark and Roger. If you arent familiar with them, they are the two original actor's from Rent's first run, and they also played these characters in the movie. They are also the ones that sing on the soundtrack so they are the voices I am use to hearing.
It was interesting because I went with Laura who has never seen it, and she didn't really like it that much. Although she admitted the First act was OK and second act was much better than the first.
Anyway I had a great time and cant wait to see it again!

I use to be an archie comics avid reader. There are far too many old comic books sitting around my childhood bedroom for me to even begin to deny it. But why would I? Archie comics are the best. Who doesn't love Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and even Reggie?
One big series long question was whether Archie Andrews should Date Betty Cooper or Veronica Lodge. I guess, being a brunette I was supposed to side with Veronica, but really I always hoped and dreamed that Archie would pick the lovable and kind Betty.
Today I just read on CNN that these hopes and dreams are going to be crushed! Archie is MARRYING Veronica. All I have to say is that Archie, you are a sell out. Of course you'd pick the rich and beautiful girl. Who cares if she's mean and shallow? Clearly not you Archie! I guess you just arent the guy I thought you were.

Weekend Fun
This weekend I was home for Marisa's wedding, which meant so were the other winsor girls! It was nice seeing them again.
The highlight of the weekend was going to the Sam Adams brewery (again) and Harpoon Brewery with Emily and Chris. First we went to the Sam Adams brewery and it was pretty good, same as before, but the experimental beer flavor was a nice white beer.
Next we went to the harpoon brewery. We couldn't get in a tour for 45 min, so what did we do? Bought a 6 pack and hung out in Chris's car's folded down back seat till our tour. I found an old LL Cool J CD that we listened to. Finally it was time to take the tour. They took us through the big metal tanks and sanitized by alcohol and flame the spout on one of the big tanks, and poured out some green beer for us to taste. Nothing like flat beer.... Once the tour was over we went to the tasting room where there were like 10 different flavors. My two favorites were the Leviathan imperial and the wheat orange beer. Delish. The guy working there also suggested mixing the raspberry beer and the lemon beer which we also tried.
Afterwards we found a cute restaurant on the water that we had lunch at and i introduced emily and chris to linenkugel (which i may have spelled wrong).
I think its safe to say fun was had by all.

Two Almost Victories
Last night We headed over to nationals park not expecting to see much, instead we saw two close wins!
The first was in the presidents race. The pittsburgh pirates had brought thier perogies to do a 3 legged race with the presidents, and with the help of oliver onion teddy almost won his first race, till the two of them tripped and fell and Abe and Hanna Jalapeno took the lead.
The second was that the nationals were behind 2-1 and the last batter gets up and hits a dinger alllllllllmost out of the field, but instead directly into the center fielders glove to end the game :(

10 pm TV
Lately we've been going to the gym at 10pm. Its nice because there are actually machines available, and it gives me time to eat and digest before exercising.
The one drawback is that nothing is on tv!!! There are 4 televisions, and one tv shows sports recaps, one shows some late night crime scene drama show (last night may have been law and order), a third shows Nancy Grace, and the fourth is static.
The sports highlights is interesting for maybe 5 minutes till they show the stuff i am interested in and then I have 25 more minutes that need to be occupied.
The crime scene shows are never interesting.
Nancy Grace, which i've NEVER watched before, somehow only reports the most depressing and violent news imaginable. Last night, for the entire time i was down there they reported on "wife and two kids killed, hubby refuses to comment"...yes, thats right, Hubby. lets lighten up this report a bit and call him hubby. I didnt watch the show, but I assume Hubby is the murderer.
Static basically is the most interesting channel.
Thank goodness for my ipod

Weekend a Day Late
This weekend Peter and I hung out with Tristan and Mike before they left us for Wisconsin.
First we went to the air show where we all got burnt, but it was a lot of fun to see all the planes. We went into one of the decoy Marine One's and talked with the pilot (another sox fan!), but one of his crew members looked no older than 16! it was crazy! I love the planes, but I really hate their use, and I wish there was a way for these engineering marvels to not be related to the armed forces :(
We then went to the nationals phillies game. All the fans were for the phillies, and I was more or less neutral. I opted for Hard Times Cafe over Ben's Chili bowl, and I decided I think i prefer hard times cafe. It started to sprinkle so I left to go up under the overhang. Just as i got under the cover it started pouring like you wouldnt believe. The teams went running off the field and the grounds crew lept into action! The tarp began to roll out....and then it began to roll back. Yes, thats right, they put the tarp on UPSIDE DOWN and had to flip it, letting the grounds get much more wet. Oh nationals, cant you do anything right?

Start Trek and the Thermals
I went with Peter, Joe, Laura, and Matt to see Star Trek in IMAX the other day and it was awesome as expected. I have a few nerdy complaints though. One is that Vulcan and the snow planet were much to large and close together. They would surely suck each other into their gravitational fields and slam into each other. Also as pete pointed out (co worker not boyfriend) they went into warp drive, then tossed kirk out of the ship and somehow he landed on the snow planet only a few feet from where they started. Other than that the movie was great!
Joe and I saw the thermals again last night. As always I liked them a lot. The problem is I'm not so fond of their new CD. Its just boring and repetitive. its not terrible or anything, I just prefer their old stuff. Plus, i'm getting old and 10:30 shows on week nights are a lot for me. Also the floor of the black cat is getting stickier. My feet stuck to the floor and it was too hard to dance around to the music, so i was forced to stand pretty still and just bob a bit.
