But that would be bitchy, even for me.

I'm sort of tempted, every time someone says to me, "My goodness, I'm so awed/impressed/unnerved by your ability to post new fics so quickly!"* to respond with, "What, like it's hard?"**

Which is to say, I went with my sister and Anna Leah to see Legally Blonde: The Musical at the Historic Tennessee Theatre last night. I left work early yesterday, and in order to get to my car I have to pass the theater's side entrance. So I happened to be walking past just when some of the male dancers were coming out of the theater to go into town. I recognized them by their Puma track suits and their flamboyant demeanor and their yelling inappropriately in downtown Knoxville. And the fact that they were coming out the stage door. It helped ramp up my excitement to see them, which was cool, because I am not usually given to excitement.

Then we went to the show, which was of course not as good as the production I saw on Broadway, but I think the touring company was pretty all right. I've watched the production that aired on MTV approximately one billion times, which means it's pretty hard for me to divorce Elle from Laura Bell Bundy these days, but I still managed to come around to almost all the actors*** by the end of the show.

Anyway, it was really fun and my sister and Anna Leah both loved it, which made it even more fun. I was so sad when it was over! That is my favorite musical ever and I don't care how lame that makes me.

In a little bit here I will be headed back downtown with Anna Leah and [personal profile] ophelias_heart this time for dinner and then Kevin Bacon's Naked Behind on the big screen. I will ogle him on Tyler's behalf, and cheer when the cop comes on the screen, since he gives me a mere two degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon by virtue of having taught an acting class once taken by [personal profile] writingpathways' roommate. Plus, Friday the 13th is one of my favorite summer camp movies, so I'm pretty excited to see it on the big screen.

After that is the ghost tour of the theater where they're showing the movie. It's a busy weekend! Tomorrow is the last day before nano. I don't think I'm going to make my goal of getting through Christmas vacation in my Glee series before then. Oh, well. I need a break from that series and I think I'm breaking at a pretty good place. Everybody's relaxed and post coital and they can live without me for awhile.
