Went to see Les Miserable in the city last night. It was really good.

The music was incredible. We had seats on the right side about 6 rows back. It was really nice because we can see everyone's faces and everything. I've always liked musicals, so this was a real treat.

So, out of all the musicals that I've seen so far, I'd say that my favorite is Miss Saigon, still. The story in Miss Saigon touched me so much more, and it made me think so much more. It made me realize that there are things in the world that just cannot be worked out with a happy ending. In Miss Saigon, whatever decision Chris makes will hurt someone, and Kim had to sacrafice herself for her son's future. Its so sad, and it touches me so much because I've heard and seen scenarios like this, I just refuse to believe it...

Les Miserable was good, too. It just didn't touch me as deeply as Miss Saigon did. I'm not quite catching the "deep" meaning behind the story yet. It just seems like a tale to me. I didn't feel the deep connection to the characters, and I didn't feel the connection to all the story lines that were going on. Maybe it'll take a while for the story lines to sink in... we'll see

Other musical I've seen: Sunset Boulevard, Joseph and the Amazing Technolocolor Dreamcoat, Phantom of the Opera, The Music Man, and Rent.

Finally, we made it back from Vegas alive. We were there for Stephen's bachelor party. It was great! We had a great time.

So, I got to try a climbing wall for the first time. It was really cool! I really enjoyed it. I was so scared to look down when I was near the top that my hands started to sweat and I had to keep telling myself that I need to be more brave. It was so much fun. If you ever get an oppertunity to try it, I'd recommend it! Its lots of fun.
