Wow!!

 So, today I went to see the sold out Toronto production of Mamma Mia! I have to say this about it, O.M.F.G. It didn't disappoint!! They didn't have the black lights, but they did have the bright colors and Wayne? The frog/flipper dance was absolutely hilarious!! Much of the show had a slightly warped sense of humor.

At the curtain call, the cast had everyone, and I mean, EVERYONE!! On their feet, singing, dancing and cheering, it was fabulous!!! The person playing the mother was a bit brassy... and I assume, that the usernames on the cast bios in the programme are for X. But I don't have X... too toxic. But, I digress.. it didn't stray much from the movie. They performed my all time favorite songs (Voulez Vous + S.O.S) and some that I was unfortunately not as familiar with. (lol)

When we got in at about 6pm, we had pizza, Caesar salad, and potato wedges. Soooooooooooooo goood y'all!! And D even bought us pop (diet and regular)!!

We saw Chinatown, the theatre district, the financial district (Bay) and both City Halls... both old and new. We saw the Don River where Maman looked for fiddleheads when she was younger. I saw my old college campus (Seneca Newnham campus which Justin wants to shut down cos of all the international students. Don't ask, politics be politics.)

I took so many pictures that my battery was pretty much dead by the time we got to the theatre. Some are good and some are just plain abysmal. I will upload them tomorrow... once my phone is not DOA. I should have taken my tablet bc the battery is better but shoulda woulda coulda.. eh?

Before making my bed, I took a picture of the programme and stuck it on my WP

Oh gosh I need sleep badly!! Night y'all. Bon nuit!

Dolores et eiusmod...

 I love Latin. I don't consider it a dead language... same with Old English and hieroglyphs. Maybe ancient but not dead. Love Chaucer. Love ancient stuff like the Fayum portraits... love history tbh.

I had an ok day, I watched The Black String for the second time, the first time I watched it, I didn't understand it but I do now.. sometimes you need to re-watch things to see the bigger picture.

I'm going to be super busy this week so, I will try and post from my phone, and I will have a review of Mamma Mia! on either Wednesday night or Thursday. I'd better put on my good glasses for this....

Anyways, that's my Caturday, what was yours like?
