Oliver!

Just came back from the famous Stratford Festival where we saw the musical Oliver! man... it was sooooooo good. The little boy who played Oliver was amazing, way better than the movie that was made in 1969 by a long shot. And the guy who played Fagin was in the movie Chicago (yes, the one with Catherine Zeda Jones) and The Exorcism of Emily Rose... and he was one of the Monkeys! haha! Yeah, like the TV show/band "hey! hey! We're the monkeys" haha. Awesome. It was a pretty cool night. I must say, it got me way pumped for the production of it comming up in the fall in St. John's. I hope I get to be a part of it again, that would be excellent.
Earlier this morning we went to TALL GIRLS... yes. My life is complete. well you know... I bought 2 pairs of pants, and I'm going to have to rool them up (36 inseam YES)Its insane... I actually felt short in there with all the people working/shopping in there. It was the weirdest feeling, from going through your life to being one of tallest, to being one of the shortest... haha. But I went there, and I can finally say that I have. We also went to the Disney store (whats a trip to ON without a trip there? And I bought a cup for my "cup collection" (finding nemo!) and a toy story fan for camp! yehaw!

Back to this morning, the drive to Stratford is 2 hours (ish). So I took in the sights on the way there. I think we went through about5/6 big cities... like bigger than St. Johns. Well there is Burlington, Hamilton, Guelph, Brampton (Home of Wayne Greskey! and Cheryal Fagner haha)Toronto... and loads more. Hamilton alone has 415 000 people. And here in Burlington has about 135 000. which is close to St. John's. Maybe thats why I like it here so much.

Well its 1:00am here... so I'm going to bed! long day... and into Toronto tomorrow!
later Days! :)
