mingling and lions

well im sure you're just dying to hear how the singles mingle went. yes, my roommate and i did make an appearance. not for long though. we were exhausted from being hit on so much that we had to leave. ok that's not entirely true...or really true at all. we only stayed for a lil while because there were soo many people there i couldn't even think straight. evidently there was something like 1200 people crammed into hula hut. um yeah, basically if you wanted to get from one end of a room to the other you had to squeeze yourself through masses of people...similar to being at a really crowded concert and trying to be the person pushing their way to the front. so, no mingling was done but i wasn't really going with the intention of finding a soulmate so i do not count the nite as a complete failure. if it wasn't so packed i think i would have enjoyed a nice amount of people watching, if not only from the speed dating tables where there seemed to be an abundance of awkward, uncomfortable conversations going on. highlights of the evening..my roommate being hit on by a guy who came up and spoke korean to her...me being hit (not hit on) in the face by two separate consecutive swinging doors.so on to way more exciting things...my roomies and i went to the broadway performance of the lion king last nite. opening nite so there were a couple little glitches here and there with audio but overall the show was just amazing. the performers were great...the costumes and set were above and beyond...the music was really well done. my favorite part was probably the opening scene with the circle of life. a lot of the characters make their way to the stage thru the aisles - it's really cool. oh and there was this ginormous elephant with a little baby elephant behind it. oh wow i asked my roommates if we could take the baby elephant home...it was soo cute!!! well, maybe just take the costume home bc there was probably like a 30 yr old man in it or something and that might be weird to take him home... most impressive part of the show were the kid actors who played young simba and nala. they're 10 and 11 years old and the fact that they can remember so much dialogue, dance steps, and songs is amazing to me. my favorite character over all - definitely rafiki...very entertaining.

the show goes on till march 25 and you can still get tix for lots if not all of the shows. i highly recommend it especially if you have kids - they would really love it.

that's about it. the weekend is here and im so ready for it. plus the weather is supposed to be fantastic this weekend and we know how happy that makes me! have a good one!
