Okay, so, I know I haven't posted in awhile. But that's because pretty much nothing unusual has happened in the last two months or so. Seriously. But that's okay, because it means nothing awful or crazy happened. But not much awesomeness either. Anyway, last night my dad took us to see "Scrooge, the Musical" at this litte theater in Alexandria. It was....um....interesting.

Scrooge is obviously based on A Christmas Carol. But let me just say that some things are best left in their traditional form...why must we make said story into a musical? The only time that worked was for the Muppets, and that because, well, they're the Muppets. So, for two and a half hours, we watched them try to make Christmas Carol into something new and different, adding boring and unexceptional songs into the mix. The funniest parts included,

1)Scrooge fallin over while trying to take off his shoes, only to pretend that he had meant to.
2)A girl missing the last note in her song, only to be laughed at by the boy she was singing to. Seriously, they just stood there and laughed as they got engaged or whatever.
3)A completely random scene where the toy story window comes to life and the toys dance around for no reason at all

The actor playing scrooge was pretty good...but that didn't make the play itself less painful. Anyway, maybe I'm spoiled by seeing so many actually good plays in my life...but this was not awesome.
