Ah, that’s right. I’d forgotten about you moving.

Ten minutes?

@seekjustice Thankfully, no abyss. 😛  Just Thanksgiving, and crazy moving to a new house sort of stuff.

Sounds great!  I’ve got an idea for a short story that I want to try out, so I’ll pull up a blank document while you name the time.

@rochellaine Hello! I was wondering if you’d disappeared into an abyss or something. Sure, I can word war with you. I’ve only written 77 words today.

@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:

And a few scenes from the opera on…[Read more]

@valtmy

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

@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.

@valtmy

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

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

@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?

@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]

@valtmy

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

You don’t have daylight savings?

@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.

@valtmy I don’t know if you are still here, but yes, I’m here now.

@Catwing

Pretending to be someone who likes romance is super relatable. 😛
