I just got back from watching Cirque du Soleil's Dralion. It was really good; I'd actually watched most of it on cable before, but it was like 3 times cooler watching it in person. If you've never watched a Cirque du Soleil show before, I highly recommend it. It's like a combination between an opera and ballet (with acrobatics, of course)... and throw in a couple clowns. And the music was really good too; they had people singing in (what I think was) Italian.

I watched O (another Cirque du Soleil show) in Las Vegas also, I think that one was a little bit better. It was more expressionist and had more of a story to it, whereas Dralion was kinda hard to interpret and wasn't tied together much. Yea, but I always leave these shows like in deep thought- pondering the themes and meanings and stuff. It's so poetic and beautifully expressionate- it's like watching a painting come to life. Very cool...

Oh, and they're inspirational too! It makes me wanna start up my splits training again. It's like, wow, how does a person manage to have so much physical strength and flexibility? Man, I wish I'd taken gymnastics as a child! =(

*I just re-read this entry, and I realized that I changed back and forth between singular and plural a whole bunch. Arg, I don't feel like changing it... maybe later
