Well, my plans for this weekend were supposed to include finishing up work on the apartment and hosting a housewarming party where both sides of our families would come visit, see the new place, and get a better feel for the work we will be doing at the coffee shop. However, due to lots of snow and my dad's sudden case of the sickies, it appears that neither of our families will be able to make it to the party tomorrow (hopefully to be rescheduled) and because of our lazy attitudes and general blah-ness, the apartment is no where near finished. We haven't even finished moving our stuff over from the old building or unloaded the stuff that has been in our cars for two weeks.
(Feel better Daddy!)
However! Tonight we had the pleasure of going to see The Mikado performed by music and theatre students from SEMO and it was FANTASTIC. I knew it was supposed to be funny, but what do you expect when you hear that an opera is funny. Exactly. My hopes were not the highest for the humor side of the evening, but I figured at the very least the music would be great. We had a good friend (Aaron of Concerning Humans) playing Nanki Poo, and he was wonderful! The script was absolutely hilarious and Joshua and I have several new one liners that we will be quoting on a regular basis, such as , "Chop it off! Chop it off!" and "She has a right elbow that people come from MILES around to see . . ". It was so great. I highly encourage the viewing of this opera if you should ever get the chance, it was absolutely hysterical.
And now, I leave you with suspicious kitties. Enjoy!
Yare was working on his cat-like reflexes. He hasn't quite mastered stealthiness yet . . . Have a happy Sunday!
