Lofty Mountains and Flowing Waters

Now that's a great song name. 
Um... I don't really have a plan for today's post. I'll draw you a picture. 

This picture is a hint. Muahahaha
I saw Les Mis yesterday. It was truly amazing. I can't even describe the feeling. 
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!


It gave me chills. The entire cast just sang SO AMAZINGLY. LIKE WHOA. 
It occurred to me while watching that Jean Valjean is a lot like Sirius Black. I think I'll write a musical parody and call it Les Wiz. Har har har.Geddit?

My current song-obsession (besides Les Mis and "Lofty Mountains and Flowing Waters") is an Enter the Haggis song called "One Last Drink." It's morbid and happy at the same time.


This is the chorus:

I've had a life that's full
Everyone's been good to me
So fire up that fiddle, boy
And give me one last drink
When the sun comes up
I will leave without a fight
The world is mine tonight


It's about a old guy on his deathbed who decides to go out to a pub so he can drink and have a good time.The first verse starts with "Old John on his deathbed cried, 'I think I will wait 'til tomorrow to die...'"
Quit uplifting, and very Celtic. XD

The Red Sox beat the Yankees on Opening Day at Fenway, which is very exciting because they lost their first six away games, and we were starting to get worried. It's okay, though. They're just starting to gain momentum, that's all.
GO BOSTON 
SO. Our birthday is coming up... I'm working on a present for you guys. 


I shall leave you with a quote from one of my favorite musicals:


Conceited?
Not me!
It's just that I am what I am,
And I'm me!


Love,
Virgil

  1. this is what it's like being friends with virgil. she starts singing random songs and we sit there all awkward {before deciding she's in her own little world now... and we might as well start a new convo}.

    also, what's the grey thing in your beautiful pic?
    It kinda looks like a shish kabob that got dropped in the ash.
