It's been almost OVER A WEEK!
Ellesse what have you been doing?!?!
WHAT HAVEN'T I BEEN DOING??
As imagined life shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. Last weekend was the California trip, last Saturday night around 11pm friends and I headed down to Las Vegas to stay at a friends place that night. We got up early Sunday morning and completed the journey to Los Angeles. I met up with my roommate Chelsea & friends and we headed to the The Getty Museum of Art. 
This museum is amazing, the architecture alone for this building is amazing. A white modern complex on top of the Hollywood hills of L.A. Featuring beautiful artwork from the decades. 
Sacred Hymns and manuscripts from the medieval period, sculptures from the 1600's, impressionist paintings...the works. They had an exhibition on Bernini while we were there and I just can never get over the beauty of that place. After the Getty we had a plugging dinner @ The Cheesecake factory- we were enjoying a delicious dinner when we realized time was slipping by a little faster than we thought. We ended up shoving the remaining cheesecake (mine was Pumpkin) in our faces and running for the car. By the time we found it in the parking garage- I was reading and willing to barf. Then we were off to see WICKED, which I had seen the year before in L.A. @ the Pantages Theatre, which is just a beautiful theatre. 
It doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside it is completely decked out in Art Deco majesty. 
Wicked is such a great show, I think I liked it even better this time. The Glinda was very good- so funny. 
The show is also going to be coming to Salt Lake City next summer, I'm excited to see it. After the play, we drove to Santa Monica pier and sat/ran along the beach @ night. It was beautiful seeing the lights from the pier and the Marry-go-round reflecting on the night's tide. I wrote my name in the sand, and was reacquainted with the ocean once more. 
That night we stayed @ my friend Spencer's Families home just outside of L.A. and the next morning we were off to Disneyland. We didn't get to spend too much time there. We had to leave and be back on the road to Utah by 5pm but we got to hit all the greats. Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Indiana, Splash...the new Toy Story Midway ride in California Adventure, it was wonderful.
Speaking of Salt Lake City. I'll most likely be there this weekend. Facing East is considering going on a little road trip up to Salt Lake City to take one of our cast members to Temple Square and show him around, rehearse in the Salt Lake Cemetery, perhaps go see Noises Off @ PTC, and then heading home Sunday afternoon. Facing East continues to go well. We have to be 'Off off Book' today, and I am currently listening to my lines.
Looking at my face now and looking at that painting....doesn't look too spectacular. I have so much memorizing to do, I do believe I will be doing it for the rest of my life. But I'm looking forward to another escape this weekend....as if Disneyland wasn't enough.
I do hope this little weekend escape won't bring with it the awful present that Disneyland left me with....though it is mostly my fault.
My friends asked me for certain gifts from Disneyland:
1. Soil from Disneyland
2. Water from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride
Well, we're on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, and I'm thinking about what was said about the ride draining, filtering, and refilling the water daily....and we fill up the water bottle and I'm looking at it....
and it's cold....and clear....and looks beautiful...
So I take a sip. IT WAS DELICIOUS!
Everything was fine come the ride home, I had the water bottle nestled safely in my bag....though when we arrived in Cedar City 1:30am....I had a sore throat. I am only now recovering from what we call Disney aids. It's been the worst head cold of my life! Coughing, congestion/runny nose, dizziness....it's been just the worst!
Luckily it's on the down slope and I think I'm getting over it.
Halloween is fast approaching. I am either going as a Leper or The Queen of Hearts....I think it's going to be the Leper.
"No.....Lepers."
love to all as usual.
I'm out-
It could be worse
But its all sweet
It could be snapped from the jaws of defeat
Like a light lit upon a beach
Wear your heart on your sleeve
Oh You want to stop before you begin
You want to sink when you know you could swim
You want to stop just before you begin
Never give in, Never give in
Screaming out from the crests of waves
Nothing matters
Except life and the love you make
Nothing matters
Except life and the love you make
Nothing matters
Except life and the love you make
Except life and the love you make
Screaming out from the crests of waves" -Coldplay
