Jun. 14th, 2010 10:07 pmSo, my team didn't QUITE collapse it's enemies (I have Italy from a World Cup sweepstake), but we didn't lose, which is also nice. I also learned two things about my team: 1, our goalkeeper is beautiful, and 2, one of the players has butterflies tattooed on his arm. I love my team QUITE A LOT at the moment. Woo.
I had a good week, anyway. I went to see an opera last week - there was an Opera North production called Rusalka that I'd been wanting to see for a while, and then I realised that is was only on for another week in Leeds. And after looking into it online, I learned that I could get a £10 stalls ticket because I was under 26, and then that you could get half price tickets sometimes on the day of the performance. So my mum and I ended up going last Wednesday night. And it was actually brilliant, it's basically a version of the little mermaid story, except possibly based on older stories than the Hans Christian Anderson version. But it was great and staged really well, and the woman in the lead role was amazing. If it's on anywhere near you and you have any interest in Opera, I would really recommend you see it.
And then this weekend I went to Lancaster to see
jekesta and
alicamel. And we watched the second series of Bugs and the second series and special of Hana Yori Dango, and OH MY GOD HANA YORI DANGO OH MY GOD, OH TSUKASA, OH MAKINO, OH ALL OF THEM, OH MY GOD, they are UNBELIEVABLY PRETTY, and Ed from Bugs is UNBELIEVABLY PRETTY, and all in all it was a good weekend for television. Also,
jekesta showed me the latest episode of Lie To Me, where Logan from Veronica Mars is in it as a slightly terrifying evil character. That was pretty good too. And we played Escape From Atlantis, and charades, and I had to act out 'Disgrace', but
jekesta had to act out 'Sense and Sensitivity', and
alicamel had to act out 'Cavalcade', so it was pretty fair really. Also, did I mention Hana Yori Dango? It was a great weekend.
Come on Italy. Rah!
