I freely admit that I had a role in the creation of Senor Steeckyfeet due to a navigational mishap. I don't regret this role one bit given the comedy gold that followed.

We picked up the kitties this morning. They are stinky from a week in the kitty palace and are reacting to being home very differently. Byron is skulking around, Mia keeps hissing and growling at her brothers, and Seamus has turned into Affection!Cat and keeps crawling (stinkily) all over me and purring loudly.

there have been white witch stories in the near by canyon. Looks like someone made a blair witch style movie

I didn't mention last week cause I was still processing and holding it to myself for a bit, but Joe and I got to see The Lion King at the Detroit Opera House last Wednesday.

Hands down, the most beautiful stage production I have ever seen. Especially with that level of tech, which Disney was able to make look non-tech.

I was and am, awed by it. And want to see it again. And again.

I have a friend who was a dresser/costumer on The Lion King in London, so she saw it hundreds of times, and she still thinks it's one of the greatest shows she's ever seen.

Did you know we could do that?

Oh, how cool! I've never seen LK, but I've heard nothing but good things about it.

I was amazed by how much I loved The Lion King when I saw it here (last summer I believe). I expected to like it/hoped I wasn't spoiled by the hype. I freakin' loved it. During the opening ( Circle of Life ), I actually wept. No one was more startled than me. Flippin' brilliant.

It's amazing what happens when you hand a genius a blank check.

For a minute there, I saw real vision from nasty ol' corporate entertainment land... but then they got over it.

We saw the LA production and must have no magic in our hearts because we were kind of meh on it. Looked beautiful, though.

During the opening ( Circle of Life ), I actually wept.

Preach it.

The movie has been my all-time favorite Disney cartoon for yonks. When they showed "Circle of Life" as a trailer before "The Three Musketeers", I cried.

I saw the movie in the theater 6 times. Cried every time.

I was at Suncoast picking up my pre-reserved VHS copy and they played it while I was waiting. And I cried.

Joe was impressed I made a whole three notes in at the stage show before I broke.

Making Rafikki female was genius, IMHO, because it's hard to follow RG anyway and ours was amazing. I've never laughed so hard.

I was also impressed by the fact that out of the whole company we saw, only 5 people weren't African American.
