We can be beautiful, just not today

Apparently it is the week of finally getting around to musicals that I've meant to listen to for ages? I spent about two days on Legally Blonde after my mother watching the movie at one point reminded me it existed and I still meant to listen to the whole thing; then I flipped over to Heathers at some point today, and I keep getting distracted so I'm still only halfway through, but hey, that's more than the two songs I'd heard before!

I have no idea how long I will get stuck on this one or where I will go next. Maybe I will finally figure out what Be More Chill is about. Or give Hadestown another shot, because I wasn't listening that closely when I tried the musical version. ...Or maybe I will bounce over and do the new Mountain Goats album, because that premise hit me clear in the id. Who knows! But honestly, I've been listening to the same musicals for a while -- and the same stuff in general, but I've been behind on musicals I've meant to hear for years -- so it's kinda nice to be trying something new. And it gives me something to do while I work, which is working suprisingly well. (Music does not always work for me while working; I usually do something video, but right now it's not too bad, so.)

In other news, I have... very little, given I updated not that long ago and my life is boring. Pagan Unity Festival plans are finally ironed out, so that's exciting; I usually enjoy the campout, so I'm hoping it goes well. I get paid the day I go, too, so I should have more money than usual to browse the vendors, which is exciting. Still have to be careful, but maybe I can find something to inspire an altar, because I still need to figure out how or if I can get that underway.

I also get the urge sometimes to become obsessed with a new musical. Currently it's Hadestown for me but I also have been thinking maybe I should see what Be More Chill is about. Just as a heads up if you're thinking about giving Hadestown another try, the official Broadway cast album is set to come out June 7th, so maybe you should wait for that one!
