QotD: Holidays: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

What's your favorite thing about the holidays? Least favorite?

I LOVE THE LIGHTS AND THE DECOR! It gives me a happy feeling whenever I pass by houses and buildings all lit up in the evening. I also love how cooler it is during this time of the year.

Least favorite has got to be the crowd in the malls. Then again in the PI malls are normally crowded no matter what time of the year.

I found a pic of when I was small!

What's the longest you've ever waited in line?

An hour and a half just to buy tickets for a local film and The Time Traveller's Wife. The longest wait of my life!

[Les Miserables] 10th anniversary - On My Own

If you knew me when I was younger, you'd never think of me as someone who liked musicals. And yes, honestly, I can't stand most of them. But when you mature a little, you become more tolerant and open to new types of music. Les Miserables was the first musical I listened to on CD in it's entirety. I couldn't help but fall in love with it. Soon after I began listening to Phantom, then Miss Saigon, then a slew of other "popular" musicals. I then saw my first musical live and was hooked. Who would have thought I'd be someone who'd obsess over a particular musical enough to see it over 20 times (ahem, Rent).

The Les Miserables 10th anniversary concert was shown on PBS back in 1995. They called it the "dream cast" and IMO it blew away London and New York studio recordings. I immediately bought the VHS (no DVDs back then :P) and CD when it was released and wore them out. Not sure how I lost them, probably in my various moves, breakups, and life itself, but a few months ago someone posted a clip from Les Mis and I realized I hadn't listened to it in years! So I YouTubed the performances and totally regretted not holding on to my original copies. I acquired the CD recording a few weeks ago and now have the 2008 DVD re-release on my Amazon wishlist.

On My Own is one of the more well known songs from Les Mis so I thought I'd share this clip. I have been lucky enough to see Lea Salonga live more than once doing reprise roles as Kim in Miss Saigon and in Flower Drum Song on Broadway. But the first time I saw her was as Eponine in Les Mis in a touring cast that came to Hawai`i. She played the role perfectly.

If you could be fluent in any language (that you don't currently read or speak), which one would it be?

German. I love how it sounds.

Would you prefer fame or respect? Why?

respect! it's harder to come by and definitely more valuable.

What's your favorite memory from the summer of '09?

Summer '09 came and went and I did not do anything! I did not take PTO, I did not even go to the beach!

You must think I'm really boring now.

But I am not. I promise.

Do You Wanna Date My Avatar?

The Guild - Do You Wanna Date My Avatar

Do you watch The Guild? No? Well, you should. I think you'll appreciate it regardless of whether you play WoW or not. It's really short epis (each less than 5 mins long) so it won't take much of your time. So go watch it. Also, isn't Felicia Day extra hot in this video? Yeah, I have a crush on her. Got a problem with that?

Okay, maybe I was the only one that thought this video was hilarious. :P
