Doesn't "Paperback Musical" sound like a great musical. I imagine people just singing chapters of books. Or a musical about Jane Austen's life starring some flat-chested brunette waif who wails vocally. Musicals have been on my brain because I will be in one, The Sound of Music, next month (squeals with glee). I wish I could say I was Maria, or even
that beeotch Elsa, or even
that crotchety ole Sister Berta (
raggedy beeotch), but alas I am but a lowly postulant. If you want to know what a postulant is, go to www.dictionary.com and find out. I haven't even done this myself, so you will already be a better person than I. Rehearsals and working out pretty much rule my life at this point. Oh and creating my master plan to take out David's Bridal. Think Pinky and the Brain without Pinky, poor planning, and zero follow through. At least Brain would try. So maybe it's more Pinky and less Brain. I have also created a Musicals playlist on Spotify because I am that lame. Here's the link if you would like to enjoy and I'm always open to suggestions for more musicals to add to it.
MUSICALS There are more I am wanting to add to the list but just never remember to do it. It features of few of my favorites sung by some of my favorite peoples ie. Julie Andrews, Idina Menzell, Barbara Streisand, Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, Audrey Hepburn etc. Here is my wannabe Audrey Hepburn picture circa Breakfast at Tiffanys

In other news, I have been back in my reading groove by reading on my lunch breaks. Just finished reading Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me (And Other Concerns). It was a cute and funny book but mostly airy. (Don't you like my fancy shmancy Starbucks mug of the NYC skyline? Me too, mostly because it hold 18oz of coffee and because it reminds me of my brother. )I'm about to start reading The Great Gatsby which I've heard great things about and am looking forward to the Baz Luhrmann adaptation of it via motion picture. I recently purchased Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I am a huge Jane Austen fan and a huge fan of zombies so I feel like this will be an epic read. I will keep you posted.
That's all for now. I always tell myself I will write on here more often, but let's be honest, I won't.
