tarotgalWell, after a very, very bad night (up until 4am, and then waking up every hour after that) I took another sick day at work, which sucks because I had just submitted my timesheet yesterday and now I'll have to submit a correction *sigh* But I'm glad I did because last night was so rough and I finally got a good, solid few hours of sleep this morning. And I'm feeling a bit better. Almost 24 hours without nausea. Hopefully the worst is behind me *knocks on virtual wood*
I also made it through Spamalot tonight. It was a Christmas present to my dad for us all to go and see it together as a family. My sister's sick, too, so it was a big effort for his girls to go tonight, but we all made it through and it was fantastic. I absolutely loved it. I was raised on Monty Python and know the movie by heart, practically. When I went to Scotland I actually got to go to the main castle they used when filming and I got to bang two halves of coconuts together while pretending to ride a horse through the cobblestone pathway on the castle grounds. So naturally I loved the musical. They did a great job of taking all the good parts from the movie and keeping the feel of the piece while still turning it into a working musical and adding lots of fun numbers as well. Well done!
But every time King Arthur spoke, I kept thinking that his voice sounded familiar. Come to find out from the playbill during intermission that he was on Highlander. And as soon as I got home I looked him up (Michael Siberry) and it turns out he plays Martin Hyde, one of my FAVORITE bad guys on an episode of Highlander *facepalm* Of course! I should have figured it out, really. But how cool to see him in person! Certainly more likeable as King Arthur and not trying to kill my Connor MacLeod and my Duncan MacLeod and drive their little students crazy by pinning muders on them *G*
So, in all, a wonderful night, a good long day of MUCH NEEDED rest, and I'm still coughing but not as bad. I'm definitely hoping to tackle work tomorrow and make it through all right.
Note: OMG I can use my doubley-appropriate facepalm icon here! Squee!
