yoga & broadway

yesterday i officially joined the gym! and i went to my first yoga class there, with a friend from work. the class was pretty good. not as spiritually therapeutic as the class i used to go to in berkeley, but a good workout and the right level of difficulty for me.

afterwards, i was like, "so, what are you doing now?" and she was like, "i was gonna go look at the half-price ticket booth and maybe get a ticket to see a musical tonight." and i was like, "i like musicals..." so we got tickets to Company!

neither of us was sure what it was going to be about. my first guess was, like, a corporation, and hers was a ballet company. but we were both wrong. it's about relationships, marriage, & friendships. get it? like, "two's company". some of the humor was maybe a little over our heads - most of the characters were middle-aged and married and debating the pros and cons of marriage. but the music was gorgeous. i really like stephen sondheim.

it was really good. there seemed to be no separate orchestra, and instead the actors played the instruments themselves on stage, in between singing, or while other people were singing. it worked - it was like a unique kind of choreography. and super impressive that they all had the skills to pull it off.

not that i was in doubt, but it made me feel more certain than ever that i want to marry my sweetie. i wish he didn't live so far away and we could just get married right now. i'm very lonely without him.
