15 thoughts on Wicked

I got to see this fabulous musical with a dear friend and his dad this week!

  1. The set was incredible (see the dragon)
  2. I ship G[a]linda and Elphaba
  3. I went in not having heard all of the songs or knowing the full plot
  4. It was more political and funnier than I thought it'd be
  5. I didn't expect it to go all the way through the plot of The Wizard of Oz
  6. The ending coup was a little rushed
  7. I successfully predicted who would be the Scarecrow
  8. I loved how green everything was
  9. The ensemble really wore a lot of hats--I thought the cast would be much larger
  10. I like that the cast tried to get people to give to charity at the end
  11. I want to see more fan videos using the soundtrack (here is a Serenity one for "Defying Gravity")
  12. I wonder why we didn't see Dorothy except in shadow (perhaps because the focus is on the witches?)
  13. Did Boq ever tell G[a]linda how he felt?
  14. My favorite song is "For Good"
  15. I happily gave a standing ovation

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica...

15 ways to support me on my parental journey

I posted yesterday and in August, 2023 about starting my parental journey. If you're wondering how you can support me, here are some ideas I have at the moment (though these may change and also don't feel pressured to do any of these things). Check in via text or DM so I can respond at my leisure (but please don't be insulted if I take a long time to respond) Help with arranging food for me (I know that when I get overwhelmed, I often have really awful eating habits) Offer to help with apartment chores (I may turn you down, but the offer will mean a lot) Walk Hoban (I realize only some people can do this, but the relief of lightening the responsibility of Hoban will likely be welcome) Be understanding if I have to cancel plans (I hope to still be somewhat social during this time, but I cannot guarantee how I'm going to feel) Drive me to appointments (I have the retrieval itself covered, but I have other appointments that will happen leading up to it so if you have the...
