Yeah, I agree.  Coming from a state where unions destroyed things to a right to work that is prospering is an interesting transition.

Every time we try to pick one we can't decide. FILs love the shows and have been to a few. We all saw Iris for FSIL birthday. I know FFIL loved the Beatles. I think they just opened up one in Santa Monica so we might check that out since it is local.

<div>I really want to see this or O next time we're in Vegas, which will hopefully be June.  My brother is playing in the WSoP (not the main event, one of the side games) and I want to go watch him/play in Vegas. </div><div>
</div><div>But question: is there any talking during the show?  Last time we were there we saw Cris Angel's Believe, and I called to ask if they could get an interpreter or captions for me.  They told me that I wouldn't need it because there wasn't any speaking in the show.  Yeah, almost the entire show involved talking.  I was pissed. </div>

Yeah, we saw KA because it was right there at MGM, so I can see it would be hard to pick. From what I understand KA has more of a story behind it.

I do want to see O too.

I haven't seen Love, but my little brother (the rockstar, lol) has seen it twice and says it's amazing.  That's high praise from him, so I'm determined to see it sometime soon(ish).

Thanks Koda.  It's nothing I can't eventually resolve, but it sure is a pain to deal with in the meantime.

H just called me, too.  He had his new hire orientation today, and -- after taking an unexcused absence from school to do it, including a zero on his first English quiz of the semester... -- found out that his employer can't <em>actually</em> accommodate his class schedule during training, like he was promised.  Ugh.  Unless his new manager can pull a miracle out of his hat, I guess it's back to job hunting again.  Lame.

That is so frustrating. I often wish employers had a little more empathy for the lives of their potential employees but I realize I might be too idealistic ;)

I had an amazing day teaching. I dealt with potentially a bad situation-a student started crying because she couldn't think of a topic for her paper so I talked with her and encouraged her. My supervisor came and watched me and said I've developed a 'teacher face' that gives me credibility, so that was nice!

<div>I will definitely try to see it! Whether or not I can even go in June depends on how soon I end up finding a job, so we'll see.  And yeah, I definitely complained.  They apologized and said that the person who told me that must have confused it with a Cirque Du Soiel show because MOST of them don't have talking.  Yeah, whatever.  I asked for my money back but they wouldn't give it to me. H had to interpret the important parts of the show for me, which meant that he couldn't fully enjoy it himself either. </div>

I agree, Ka is amazing! The shadowplay scene and the scene with the starfish and sea turtle were my favorites. And the 'machine' with the spinning wheels blew my mind. I bought the show program and DVD, I enjoyed it that much.

I really want to see Zumanity, too. While I was in Vegas, I even bought a Zumanity burlesque mask that I used in my Halloween pinup photo shoot in October.

YAY! someone that can appreciate KA! I loved the sea creatures as well.

ETA- I may have to buy the video.

Kd, beware: the DVD isn't of the show itself, it's a behind-the-scenes featurette. It's still great to see how they orchestrate everything and get to know the cast. These are some of the hardest working people on the planet. They work 6 nights a week, sometimes 2 shows per night, many of them without understudies.

Oh that would fascinate my husband. He really wanted to see what was going on back there. He's such and engineer nerd.

The guy who plays the main guy's son (the one who creates the machine) was actually afraid of the vertical stage and pullies. It took him a long time to get over his fear in order to perform, but he did it. There are other surprises but I don't wanna ruin it for you.

koda - I heard 50 Shades of Grey was good, if you need a brain break and want to read something raunchy lol.

I CANNOT get into Dragon Tattoo. I have had the books for like...3 years, maybe? Anyway, i just can't get into it.

I read something borrowed on saturday and started something blue yesterday (will finish it tonight). They arent like, masterpieces, but theyre quick reads and fairly entertaining.

It took me awhile to get into Dragon Tattoo. I seriously cannot get into Game of Thrones. It's interesting but I really just don't want to read it? It's weird, I don't understand my feelings about it!

Nebb, sometimes I read books like that to give my brain a break. I will definitely be shifting to lighter fare once I finish Dragon Tattoo.

Nebb-what are those about? Mystery?

pirategal03

Hi.  I just got here and I've only read page 3.

Life is way too short to suffer through 200 crappy pages just on the chance the book gets good after that.

I watched the first episode of Game of Thrones and all I saw was midget porn.

I mean little people porn. Whatever.

I am almost done with Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. My next book is Beyond the Western Sun. I got that one and Walk the Red Road already on my nook.
