Ms. Triss

I kid you not that is the name of a real person that existed. Apparently my french teacher had a teacher in 7th grade named Ms. Triss...and she kinda hated her I guess.

It's sort of halloween here. The faculty are bringing their kids around. They're pretty cute. I'm dressed up as a hippie today. A clean and pretty hippie though.

I'm confused. I don't know what to do. Only I can figure it out though. I just wanted to let you know I'm confused.

OK

Since it's halloween-ish, I think I shall talk about the Phantom of the Opera. Did you know Andrew Lloyd Weber has written a sequel? Yeah...he did. Guess where the setting is? Perhaps another Opera House? Some neat castle in Europe? Nope. Not even close. The Phantom will be pining away for Christine at...Coney Island. Yes. Coney Island.

Apparently ALW didn't like the ending of the original phantom...so he's been working on a sequel for over 15 years.

One of the statements made on NPR was: "Based on past Lloyd Webber stagings (like the roller-skating Starlight Express), it further seems logical to speculate that there will be a grand production number in which everyone on the stage is driving around in bumper cars. (That prediction is 49 percent serious, plus or minus 2 percent.)"

Wow. I'm not a freak about musicals or anything but...wow. Desperate much?

More Halloweeness. So apparently Target (for a very short time) was selling an alien costume. Not just any ordinary alien costume though...an illegal alien costume. The costume consisted of an alien mask with an orange jumpsuit that said "illegal alien" on the front and a nifty little green card. Target got a little criticism for that....so they pulled it from their site.

FUN FACT: A green card would actually make the alien legal. So....?

That's all I got.
