Exciting for a couple of reasons. This would be my first time seeing the show, and I like to expand my cultural horizons. The productionContinue reading “Les Miserables”

Takashi
Advertisements When my friend from out of town had time for dinner one night earlier this week, I jumped at the chance since I hardly ever eat out in my own hometown. He suggested that we go to Takashi , a sushi restaurant in the downtown area. Luckily, my friend knows a good deal more thanContinue reading “Takashi”
Sunset Boulevard
Advertisements “I am big. It’s the pictures that got small.” I’m becoming more intrigued with Musicals and Plays that are tailored to adult audiences with adult themes and language. For me, it makes it all the more realistic, true to life I suppose. When I learned that this was an Andrew Lloyd Webber production, IContinue reading “Sunset Boulevard”
winding down the summer with Corinne & Nora
Advertisements As the end of August nears, Em, Janae, and I ventured back to Red Butte. This night was featuring Corinne Bailey Rae and little slice of heaven Nora Jones. We were pretty excited.

Reflections of Gilgal
Advertisements In 1990, I lived with Sue in a run down apartment building that reeked of Asian cooking, mildew, and death. It was the best place I ever had. Re-visiting this place, I noticed that not much has changed. The trees were taller, but the building was still rundown, quaint, quiet, and I’m sureContinue reading “Reflections of Gilgal”
of course they’re fake, the real one’s will kill me!
Advertisements With that mantra being hailed among the thousands of participants at this year’s Susan Komen SLC Race for the Cure, our little family was ready to give it our best. Crazy legs was so excited that her hair was electric! It took a little longer for Cbug to get into it…… Darin was stretchedContinue reading “of course they’re fake, the real one’s will kill me!”
