"So if you care to find me, look to the western sky..."

Last night, at Marie's Crisis during the celebration of Brian's birthday, I realized that I am horrible at remembering the lyrics to musicals. The exceptions being Rent and Wicked as both those musicals are immensely special to me for various reasons ranging from obviously inspirational to deeply personal.

I feel as if these days are very Rent and Wicked worthy, with Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal's extended performances and the presence of Jesse L. Martin in my neighborhood. (Though, using better judgment than I have with performers I've admired in the past, I avoided Rent-stalking him. For now anyway). And with the start of my MCAT classes swiftly approaching, those around me should know that Wicked will be on repeat constantly in an effort to keep my mindset positive.

On two random notes, I really think that the graphic design used in association with Wicked is phenomenal in its simplicity. In addition, Idina Menzel's voice really shines when she opens up her vowels. Just saying.
