There's a lot to be said about trying to be comical. Last week, for instance, I was packing envelopes to send USBs with photos to conference delegates when I had the bright idea of placing two envelopes on my hands to say: "Look at me...I'm Edward Postage-Hands!" (and I wasn't referring to what the classic movie's porno version is probably called...I was purely just trying to be witty!).
As you'd mind imagine..my Edward-Tea-Cup-Hands..it didn't get the laughter it deserved..maybe it was them? ....definitely not me.
Oh...I got into that musical despite my social ineptness.
No one laughed so I presumed they hadn't heard my joke...so I repeated it....
...silence.... (Apart from the candid laughter echoing in my mind)
It was the same reaction I got when I worked at a cafe a few years ago. I was placing cups and sauces above the coffee machine and tried to carry as many cups on each finger to save time.

Fortunately, this post is not about being COMICAL but is rather ... again....about getting musical.
So, without further ado...let me get MUSICAL!
I auditioned for a musical last week. I cannot control my nerves! It was just myself and another girl for the half hour time allocation. Getting up to sing my old faithful, "When Somebody Loved Me" from Toy Story 2, the other girl had the audacity to say: "I was going to sing that...lucky I didn't!"...lucky.
I laughed...ha.ha.ha. (not like Fonzie...as my writing notation there might have insinuated) I said:
"hahah...yeah that would have been awkward...two different songs and same people."
Of course I meant "two different people, same songs" But in the heat of the moment my tongue decided to backstab my brain. I almost corrected myself but chose to let it go and instead dazzled them with my singing ability....
So...Singin' in the Rain! I promised a few week's ago that I would analyze the West End's version I saw last month. As you would have guessed...it was amazing. How can I sumarise the show quickly so it can be as if you were there? Hmmm....I know...an acrostic poem? ...No that would be lame...
Well I can't just review it, it'll have to be with some sort of musical-ness. I've got it! I'm going to write a review which will incorporate well known names of musical songs from shows pre 1960, frequently use the second word in Shakespeare's third sonnet and the first word of each sentence has to correspond with the penultimate note in the second bar of Beethoven's best track.
You know what...let's just say Singin'' in the Rain was great!
Weekly invention: Treadmills should come with safety rails (ones to encase you). No elaboration needed here.
