Go out and rent the soundtrack to Monty Python's Spamalot by Eric Idle. Right now. Reserve it on the library site, and go get it. Seriously. We were talking about Finland in geography, and I said I had a song about Finland. Then it was stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
I had a dream that I wrote a play. It had Erik, Christine, Raoul, King Arthur, and Lord Chuffrey in it. It was like a Thousand and One Arabian Nights in terms of setting. But it was like Spamalot in terms of plot. I don't know how Lord Chuffrey got into it. So I had it all set up, and I got a group of people so we could perform it. We went to this library, and all of the books were spin-offs of other books. So instead of having Phantom of the Opera, they had the Angel of Death, which was all about how terrible Erik was and how he killed everyone. And Wicked would have been turned into a book of memoirs from Glinda's point of view. So it was weird. I bought two books. Then we had to run through this gym/water park where everyone was playing dodge ball with basketballs. I got hit, but it didn't hurt, so it was okay. Then we got to where we were going to perform the play, and I wrote the cast of characters on the board (there was a white board backstage). Everyone was pissed off because they thought it was a spin-off of Phantom of the Opera, but it wasn't. And we didn't perform it on a stage, it was like this house and each room was like a scene for the play. And I had set up the props and everything just right so the performers would just go with it, and I knew what they would do in each scenario, so I could set up the whole thing ahead of time. But the play never happened, because no one would listen to me, and they thought it was Phantom of the Opera based because of the characters.
We're playing Bolero in band! You know, the one by Maurice Ravel? Everyone was complaining that it was boring, but I'm so excited! And we're playing a song by John Williams called "Sound the Bells!". It's by John Williams! We have such a cool set! And we played excerpts from the Nutcracker last semester. It's so great to be in a band that plays professional grade music. I just remembered that I have theory homework. ttyl!
