@seekjustice Are you here?  Want to word war or chat or something?

@seekjustice That is SO COOL you got to see Les Mis!!!

A better Gavroche than Daniel Huttlestone?  That is hard to imagine…

@Rochellaine

I’ll have a look at it when I get home then 🙂

My favourite actors were the ones that played Valjean, Marius and Gavroche. They were really good. The bloke playing Valjean was really young, he was actually almost turned down in the auditions for being too young, but he was a fantastic singer and I think he did the part extremely…[Read more]

@seekjustice I found a website that has a recording of the entire opera (which I’m listening to right now 😉 ):

And the libretto here:

@valtmy

Interesting. 🙂 It’s funny all the weird places inspiration comes from 😛

@seekjustice

It’s a musical which sort of partially inspired QOD. I watched it back when I was staying in London. It is not a deep show by any means and the plot and character development is not there but I listen to some of the soundtrack when I do my writing for QOD. 😛

@valtmy

I have so many plot scraps running around in my head, and Les Mis just added about a hundred more. I may have asked before, but what’s 42nd Street about?

Yep.

@seekjustice

I get the feeling. Always get that after watching a good show. Got it for QOD after watching 42nd Street. 😛

Sooner or later? That’s a crucial phrase you inserted there. 😛

@valtmy

I really want to start on SFI’s third draft.

But I am strong. I will finish Wattle Fire…sooner or later.

@seekjustice

Hi good to know you enjoyed yourself at Les Mis. 🙂

So how inspired are you now for SFI/Wattle Fire? 😛

@Rochellaine

I actually looked it up last time you mentioned it, but I couldn’t find any recordings on YouTube. And I hadn’t heard of it before. Was it good?

I loved it! I only just got back from it actually. And yeah, it was brilliant. The actors were really good. The only thing was that it was occasionally odd listening to an Australian cast…[Read more]

@rochellaine Cool!  I have not heard of that.  Was it fun?

Have you seen Jesus at Sight and Sound Theatre?

@seekjustice I’m reading up on this page and see you saying something about seeing Les Miserables live???!!  That’s so cool!! 😀  Did you like it?

@seekjustice I know you don’t like operas, but have you heard of the opera Silent Night?  My family went to see it tonight, and it made me think of you because it’s about the Christmas Treaty of 1914.

@valtmy @bluejay

I’m here now, and will be for a little bit, as we just arrived home and I am wide awake. 😛  Anyone want to word war?

@seekjustice

Oh dear. In that case hopefully it’ll be a bad production and you wouldn’t feel inspired at all!

(Just kidding. Please enjoy yourself). 😛

@valtmy

I’m afraid if I end up too much more inspired for SFI I might abandon Wattle Fire to the dust and I really don’t want to do that.

I’m not sure why it started. I know my grandfather, who was a dairy farmer hated it, because it meant getting up in the dark to milk the cows, whereas before daylight savings it would be almost light or light…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Well, hopefully you’ll leave the show feeling even more inspired! 😀

Nope, no daylight savings here. I think it is an obsolete concept. It started out as a way to conserve energy right? (More daylight, less energy used for lighting). But I think people will be wasting energy regardless nowadays.

@valtmy

I’ve never seen it live before, so hopefully it’s a good production!

You don’t have daylight savings?

@seekjustice

All right. Talk to you another time. 🙂

How exciting! I know you listen to the soundtrack but is it your first time watching the musical live? 😀

Ah, yes. Daylight savings. That explains why the time stamps on this forum are different. The whole concept of it escapes me though. 😛

@valtmy

I probably won’t be on the internet much today and I’ve got dancing…and I probably won’t be on tomorrow either because…

…I am going to see Les Miserables!

We’ve just gone into daylight savings, which meant we moved our clocks forward, thus making it three hours instead of two. It’ll be back to two in March.
