The Lion King and Other Stuff
Geb and I went to see The Lion King at the Paramount last night with my cousin and some of her Americorps people (because group discounts rock). It was pretty amazing and I was intrigued by how they did the costuming. Most of it actually stuck a little too close to the movie for me (the voices were almost identical as were most of the inflections), but I guess they expected people to want that.

It had a fantastic little meta moment, though. When Simba is about to sing "Can't Wait to be King," the curtain falls briefly and Zazu gets stuck on the house side of it by himself. He looks up at it and says, "This wasn't in the cartoon..."

At the end of the song, he gets stuck on house side again, examines the drapery and says, "It looks like a shower curtain from Target..." I have to say, it was my favorite part.


Today I helped Geb organize resumes, headshots, and cover letters to send out to agents and casting directors so that he can try to get some commercial work between shows. Then I worked on typing up a couple of my new stories, because I still insist on writing most of them longhand. No one's sure why.
