WOW. Wicked = SOAMAZINGLYAWESOME. Everyone must fly to New York this very minute and see it, or else this friendship is over.

Mum and I took the train to NYC yesterday morning and spent the day shopping and generally taking in the city. Then we went to dinner at Sardi's and saw Wicked, which was wicked awesome. Even though it has absolutely nothing in common with the book, which was quite vexing at some points, but I learned to cope, and all was dandy. And let the record continue to show that Idina Menzel is beyond fabulous.

So now I'm back in Philly, waiting for my storage boxes to arrive. Mmm, modern conveniences! Is it really really nerdy that the thing I'm most eager to get back is my bookends? And they're not even cool bookends, they're just basic, functional, bent pieces of metal. But they will make my room orderly and nice, and for that I am grateful. Mmm, bookends. I so need a life.
