I’m sitting here at work, listening to Michelle Branch, silently mouthing/“belting” “Breathe,” wondering if there is anything in life that brings a greater sense of fulfillment and satisfaction than silently “belting” a Michelle Branch song.
On that note – where the hell did she go??? Why is she no longer on the radar? Seriously – if there ever was a true voice for the 21st century angsty 20-something, it’s Michelle Branch. She feels my pain. She experiences my woe. And she does so with some seriously fierce hair.
On the rare and miraculous chance that Michelle Branch reads this blog, please know:
You have changed my life for the better, and I need you to come back on the scene.
I will not go into a ridiculously long and detailed review (as I normally do), but last night I finally had the opportunity to see In the Heights. You know, I’ve only been trying to get to it for a year…
Any and all hype you’ve heard regarding the show is deserved. In the Heights is poignant, funny and hopeful. One of the most interesting aspects of the show to me was the exploration of the effects of gentrification on the people whom it displaces – gentrification is, of course, a favorite topic of mine. Despite a very specific setting in a very specific culture, the show’s overarching themes transcend. I was completely captivated and moved; I think this is a show everyone should be required to see. And I'm head over heels for Robin de Jesús.
I’m sort of alarmed by the lack of comments for my last entry, subject: Sienna Miller. I think the talent and beauty that is Sienna Miller should warrant a few, if not several comments.
OH! And the preview for the movie musical Nine is online – watch it below! I have never seen this show and do not know the music, but I am SO LOOKING forward to it. It has a ridiculous cast, and the trailer is utterly gorgeous. Penélope Cruz rocks my socks off and just needs her second Oscar handed to her now. Girl is FIERCE!
The weekend is here…the weather is beautiful…I am going to Blockheads tonight…sigh…
Seriously, does it get better than that?
Give me some comments, folks, and until my next entry or Michelle Branch’s return to the top of the pop charts, om, chanti, chanti, chanti, namaste.
