Spring Awakening: A Rock Musical

Spring Awakening is a rock musical adaptation of the controversial 1891 German play of the same title by Frank Wedekind. It features music by Duncan Sheik and a book and lyrics by Steven Sater.

Set in late-19th century Germany, it concerns teenagers who are discovering the inner and outer tumult of sexuality. The original play was banned in Germany for a while due to its portrayal of abortion, homosexuality, rape, child abuse and suicide. In the musical, alternative rock is employed as part of the folk-infused rock score. Spring Awakening received eleven 2007 Tony Award nominations, winning eight, including Tonys for best musical, direction, book, score and featured actor. The show also won four Drama Desk Awards, while its London production won four Olivier Awards.

If you're a big fan of Jessie St. James or Rachel Berry, or if you only like their voices, you're bound to be a big fan of this old rock musical. I know I am :]

The theme of this musical is a bit morose and depressing, not really for those who can't handle feeling a little down ( Me, in certain moments...) . It focuses on that stage where most people are at their most vulnerable phase. The cross that allows you to watch PG 13 movies and such. If you want to hear the songs of this musical I've provided a link below.

Enjoy!

Doing...

What do most people do when it's summer? Swim, obviously, but that's not in my schedule of events this week or any other time in the future.

Swimming is great especially when the temperature rises but sometimes it feels a little off. Instead of making me feel great it makes me feel really awful. Like last summer I swam with my friends at the local swimming pool at Punta Villa, it was really great at first but in the end I got sunburned and a headache started to pound at my temples. But last December it was different, it was a lot more fun (there's no such thing as 'funner'). Maybe it was because there were more of us, maybe it was the presence of my Frisbee, maybe because there weren't that many people around for me to feel self-conscious. Well, the thing is I hate the intense heat of summer, I hate getting sunburned by said intense heat. So, contrary to what I've told myself to do earlier on, at the beginning of summer vacation, I have refrained from doing any strenuous activity. That includes sports and various forms of exercise (jogging, badminton, etc.). I could do all of that but my lack of a companion, something I really need, to do all of that is proving to be quite a problem.

What have I been doing you ask? I have been writing, reading, and cross-stitching. Man, I sound really boring. But better than doing nothing right? I wish an opportunity would come up to save me from this self-imposed exile of stitching, but alas! I see none on the horizon.

So, until next time, I shall continue to steadily deplete my summer allowance by borrowing books at book latte every week, and I will focus on attaining inner peace through cross-stitching

Potter Puppet Pals: Wizard Angst

Like most students who are suffering from summer boredom I have decided to do what most of my kind do. Nothing. Nothing important that is.

I was surfing youtube (I don't know why they use the word 'surf' but anyway...) I came across this funny puppet show. It's very... original.
