So the Fine Arts class went to NYC for the day (saturday).... and yes it was good, bad and ugly. The weather was rainy which meant my pants got wet around the bottom- and can i just say that is really annoying, specially for a girl who likes to sit with her feet under her- she can't do it very well b/c if she were to she'd end up looking like she wet her pants!!! anyway, that wasn't too bad but it didn't help the NYC vibe... ok to good now Won tickets to see the show WICKED!!! SUPER AWESOME! (by the way winning doesn't mean free- winning means 26.25 for front row seats (when normally they cost like 250-350... yeah good deal! is an understatement) so if your scared that i saw a show called wicked don't be. It is about the witches- oh no, this is not helping the case... the witches of oz (you know glinda the good witch of the north, and the wicked witch of the west (who's name is elphaba as you may not realize)) anyway, it's a story of the two meeting in school and growing up together. Elphaba was born green- it has nothing to do with her being wicked- b/c she isn't wicked.... the leader of oz (the wizzard of oz) is wicked along with his side kick... they slandered elphaba's (the wicked witch of the west) name. now... this is a very pathetic summary of the FANTASTIC broadway production... but there you have it it is not an evil show. i thoroughly enjoyed it! ok the bad- getting confused and frusterated with the dirty, ugly, nasty subway station- i tell ya what- 4 indesisive lost girls are not the ones you want to be with for a day in NYC (i was one of the 4).... it made it not too fun when we went to china town or tried to find our way around the area... rather trying of the patience was the whole experience.... indifference: then we came back to time square area and had pax wholesome foods or something to that affect.... it was tastey- and not too cheap, but it was a time crunch (so i thought) and good so i'm not complaining... then when we started heading for the ballet, i stopped at my first starbucks and ordered- you guessed it hot coco! the kids size to save money! it was pretty good... nothing fantastic about it, but whatever. Good again!- the ballet... it was quite enjoyable... very lovely theater/ performance hall idk what ya call it but it was pretty... and then the ballet was AMAZING!!! the beauty of the dances and the tallent and strength to do so was amazing... and then to stay in line with the music was very cool... and the music- that too was amazing- simply beautiful! i highly recomend the ballet- as cheesey as it may sound... to anyone... bad and good: the way home i felt as tho i were with junior highers perhaps--- some of the conversation was utterly stupid and annoying... silence would have been smarter than the things that came out of thier mouths sometimes... silence often is more profound than most of what we as depraved humans say. it's true but in those moments i noticed it more than i had in many moments prior... good part: when i eventually slept- i slept so soundly that i didn't even realize i was sleeping until i woke up... i enjoyed that very much overall my thoughts are that i would much rather go to and live in DC than NYC... DC is not that dreary nor can i imagine i would be even on a rainy day... DC also has free enjoyments, an easier subway system, a nicer subway system... and altho sadly it is less diverse and isn't known for fantastic plays, broadways, opera's, or ballets... it has beautiful parks and places to go- i don't know if that all made since- but whatever it's my xanga page and i don't care... perhaps no one will read it anyway =) |
