Sweater Weather + Favorites

  So, I may have underestimated the glorious season of fall. Autumn is the bomb. And at like one pm or something, our seasons here in 'Merica changed from summer to fall! And I love fall. Fall is like the prologue to holidays. Fall is cozy, cute sweaters. Fall is hot cider (I'm too cool for Starbucks and their fake pumpkin processed latte things). Fall means I wear pants more and therefore don't have to shave my legs as often (I mean, be honest, thats every teenage girls' favorite thing about fall/winter).
   Thursday morning was the first morning I got up for school and thought I do not want to change out of my pajamas. You get that feeling too? Well, its a shivery feeling, haha. Hard to explain. But you get it right? Of course you do.

  Can I also take a moment to awknowledge some musicals I've been obsessed with lately. Of course I can. This is my post. Muahaha.
So. First one. I know I should support my art. I know. But. I am forever thankful for people who go against copyright laws and film shows. I mean, that is bad. But thank you rebels. Without you, I would never be able to see shows that have passed. I just finished Bonnie and Clyde. The music was so great. And of course Jeremy Jordan and Laura Osnes were the main reason I got interested. They were great. It was great. I don't know if I'm just PMS-ing, but I totally cried. If you don't know, Bonnie and Clyde (the musical) is about  Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, who were outlaws in the 1930's. They were real people in love, and their story is so much more complex then it seems. Those little rebels.

 Also, Dogfight, which never made it to Broadway (whaaaa- I know right?). Again, for you musical theater virgins, Dogfight is about a young Marine, Eddie, who is going to Vietnam, and Rose, a young waitress. Eddie and his marine friends, on their last night in America, have a 'dogfight', and each marine tries to bring the ugliest date to a party, for money. Eddie brings Rose. Conflict follows. For any of you who know what I'm talking about, I totally ship Klendez. Or Lerek. Or whatever you want to call Derek Klena and Lindsey Mendez's shipping name. And now they're Fiyero and Elphaba in Wicked. Which is perfect.
               
          Sweater weather gives me more time to You Tube illegally recorded shows. Score.
