Because of the wonderfu-oh. Out of tags. Saw a stage production of Wizard of Oz with the folks last night. Then, because every other place was closed at eleven at night, we dined at Pizza Hut. The Riesling was an excellent pairing with pepperoni. (Tekulo is lying. That is a horrible pairing) The play was good. The actors had talent, the stage props were well done and they used an outtake from the movie, a number called Jitterbug which was pretty fantastic. As I get older, though, I really have to keep in mind that the original story was a satire. (Edit: wrong about this. Sorry. More info in the comments) It's really a strange story compared to the fairy tales I'm used to (and this one is different than a fairy tale, but has similarities and could be called one because it's pretty fantastical and deals with romanticism in terms of the overall story). The story is about a young, brave heroine that can't really do anything for herself, who ends up a murderer by the most dubious of means while she demands someone else do her bidding and expects that service to be for free because she had to walk like five miles to see him because catching a cab or hitching a ride never occured to her also she stole a dead person's shoes and wouldn't give them to their next of kin. Also the good witch is actually a manipulative schemer who takes advantage of opportunity to have an innocent lost girl do her dirty work for her by offing her competition. Good is a very grim thing, apparently. The wicked witch seemed kinda innocent to me. She had like five million chances to off all of the characters and never took advantage of any of them and instead gave them a fun musical number because of her guilty conscience, which is more than Glinda has. She just wanted her dead sister's shoes. Like, come on, you killed her family and her nature is clearly benevolent. Give her the shoes. Did I mention I like Wicked? Because I do. GET OFF MY EMERALD CITY! NOBODY SEES THE BILLY! NOT NOBODY NOT NO HOW! ~Tekulo<3
