Be Polite, Pinky

This morning as I was logging into my computer, I realized that for years my subconscious has been telling me that there's a rude way of typing. When you learn to type, you're taught to shift with the opposite hand than the one typing the capital letter. For some reason a part of me has always thought it was bad manners to shift with the same hand that is typing the letter.

Where did I come up with an idea like that?

Seussical the Musical

Hey everybody, get the word out! I've been working hard on a musical lately and would like all of you to come. Seussical the Musical at the Sandy amphitheater!

We open tomorrow night (the 14th) and run through the 22nd. Tickets--buy them here--range anywhere from $8-$16 depending on where you sit (yes, it's reserved seating). The theater is on the corner of 94th S. and 13th E.

Bring your kids! They will love it! Especially if they're familiar with Dr. Seuss books. Read the books to them before you come so that they can recognize all their favorite characters on stage. It's really a fun show with lots of color and can entertain kids of ALL ages.

For those of you who don't know the musical, it follows the story lines of:
Horton Hears a Who
Horton Hatches an Egg, and
The One Feather Tail of Miss Gertrude McFuzz

But it also has songs, characters, and other surprises inspired by the following Dr. Seuss books (in order of prominence in the show):
The Cat in the Hat
Amazing Gertrude
Oh the Thinks You Can Think
Green Eggs and Ham
I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew
It's Possible
Hunches in Bunches
If I Ran the Circus
Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?
McElligot's Pool
The Butter Battle Book
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories
The Lorax
The Sneetches and Other Stories
One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish
Oh the Places You'll Go

So come see me! It's a fun show for all!

P.S. I have pictures from Hawaii--I'll post them when I have time...eventually...

Wish You Were Here

Having a blast! I'll be home soon.

Nunsense!

Hey everybody. Many of you probably don't know this, but I choreographed a dance number for Nunsense this summer. It's playing at the Murray amphitheater (in Murray Park) on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday of this week and next week. That's right, the show opens tonight! So if you get a chance, head over to Murray Park and check it out. I choreographed the Act I finale (Tackle that Temptation with a Timestep). But you should also go to see my friends Larissa and Leah perform.

Alaska Highlights

Here's a few highlights from my Alaska trip:


I love Seattle every time I visit. It was great spending time with my dad there.




If you look closely, you can see the mother eagle on the branch, and the baby eagle in the nest. These wildlife pictures were taken in Ketchikan.




This was a picture of a sunset taken somewhere between 10:30 and 11:00. I was never up to see the sunrise, but I was told it was rising between 3:30 and 4:00.




Up by Hubbard Glacier, the ship drove through a field of icebergs. Sometimes there would be animals (like seals and otters) sitting on them.



When the boat stopped by the glacier, so did the wind. Pretty soon I decided it was too warm to wear my jacket. We couldn't have asked for better weather.




I'm really glad I paid the extra money to take the helicopter to Mendenhall Glacier (outside Juneau) and hike around for a few hours. The ice climbing was way fun!



I'm kinda frustrated with how the picture above turned out. The sunlight was reflecting off the ice, so it looks a lot lighter than it was. It was pretty much the color of the blue water in the picture below. I thought my mind was playing tricks with me, because from my perspective it looked like I was walking on water. I was partly concerned that I'd fall through a thin layer of ice into a pool of extremely cold water!




This vacation was definitely worth it!

Alaqxaq

I'm back from Alaska, or as I've been corrected: Alaqxaq (the earliest name for Alaska). I don't have time to post lots of pictures tonight, but here's a sample of what my trip was like (yes, that's me):

And to show you just how steep that ice wall was, here's a picture of the same wall from the side:
