Went down to Portland to see Wicked a couple of weekends ago; it was quite good.
They hadn't convinced me by intermission, but the latter half managed to tie up anything I was dissatisfied with.

(Well, anything that wasn't a personal complaint. Example of personal complaint: I hate Fiyero's character in the play-verse, and I hate that they transposed some of Glinda's character development onto him.)

They managed to make the story more lighthearted and relevant to a wider audience - all while retaining most of the important (imho) messages conveyed in the book.
That and it was fun and subtexty <3.

I should note that a large portion of the book was 'too deep' for me (or something), and was also cut entirely in the play, so I did not consider it in my evaluation.

Also paid a visit to Powell's Books <3. Even though I don't read as much as I used to, I could live in that store. Seriously.

We had a good time <3. I love traveling with my family.

Had my first casino experience just this past weekend; can't say I understand what it is about gambling that sucks people in.
Pachinko machines didn't grab me when I was fifteen, slot machines didn't do it for me this time. Sitting and watching my money count down is not my idea of fun?

I am very excited about Japan~
