Perfect weekend

On friday evening, I went to CT's place to watch a movie and hang out. It was great! We chatted for a long time and I definately think the chemistry is building between us. Every time I see him, I like him more and more. I'm thinking this may be going somewhere, still too early to tell I guess. It's exciting! I really like this guy and I'm quite certain he likes me too!

On saturday, I had a Toronto adventure with mummy. We went to yorkdale, did a little shopping, had lunch in the food court (there is a new Thai place there and it is amazing!). Then we headed downtown for the matinee show of the Lord of the Rings musical. It was SOOO AWESOME! I highly recommend it to any Lord of the Rings fan! The casting and costumes were bang-on and the special effects were very impressive. I was a little skeptical about how they were going to pull this off, but they did an unbelievable job. For 27 million dollars, it ought to be a good show! There was this one part, with the balrog, where the entire theatre was windy and ashes blowing all over the place. Made you feel like you were actually in Middle Earth. Ashes were blowing in my face and we were up in the balcony. Too cool.

And they either cast really short people for all the hobbits or really tall people for everyone else because it was quite obvious that the hobbits were a lot shorter than the other characters.

All in all, the play was TOTALLY AWESOME! I laughed, I cred, I loved it. I didn't think that any play could top Mama Mia, but this one was better for sure. But if you don't know the story, you would be totally lost. Go see this show if you like Lord of the Rings! You will be totally amazed and not regret it!

After the show, we went for dinner and then headed to Ikea to pick out some stuff for my house. I didn't actually buy anything yet (except for this cool lamp I found for $20), but I have a bunch of stuff picked out so when I go back, I already know what I want to get. Only 57 more days until I move!!!! Getting close!

Who knew there was a LOTR musical?! If it played in AB, I'd definately go.

I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! :) I'll have to try to convince my mom that we should go... sometime anyway!
