RTBCKI First Monday in August?!!? How did that happen?
Posted By Kathleen David on August 1, 2016
First I wish a Happy First Anniversary to Jeff & Angelo. I am glad that I was there and very happy that we are all still here a year later. Let’s keep beating the statistics OK?
I haven’t a clue when I will be able to publish this since our Internet is on the fritz. This has been happening more and more and all we are getting is spiffy excuses on why our area is the dead zone for Wi-Fi.
Yesterday I had probably twenty reasons not to go to the gym. I had pretty much talked my way out of it when Caroline asked me if we were going and could I help her with some of the free weight exercises to make sure she was doing them right. So I went to the gym and had a so-so work out but I did work out. My motivation is 13 and plotting her next visit to Universal.
I will say that I actually lost weight while out in California. I may not have done a lot of strength work but I did a ton of cardio.
Nebula is on the decks for today. Along with a couple more puppet slam puppets.
Olympics start this weekend. I wish all the non-doping athletes well. It must be hard to work at something only to have it taken away by others who are using drugs to get to the level that one has achieved by work alone.
Tomorrow I think I will be posting some of the costumes that I saw at SDCC for crafty Tuesday. People did a lot of amazing work at that convention.
I read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Not bad at all. I do have some quibbles about some of the characters and wonder how the staging is going to work at some points but having seen the area play of How to Train Your Dragon, I am sure that it will be done and look good. It does look like it will be a limited run here on Broadway but that’s probably a year to two down the line. I think what people need to remember is that this is basically children’s theater on a large scale and it does have some panto tropes, which is pretty typical for British children’s theater. Break a leg to the actors who play Albus and Scorpius since it lives or dies on the performance of those two actors.
We still have the Deathly Hallows to go to finish our Potter marathon, which I think we will be doing today.
I am grateful for the imagination of J K Rowling who has entertained our family for many hours.
