I'll eat some breakfast then change the world

I saw Hairspray today.

Hairspray is one of those stories that always just kind of makes me bouncy and warm, and I'm happy to say the new movie didn't disappoint. They only left out two and a half songs, and they didn't screw up the storyline too badly. Plus I saw it with a friend, and I got to freak out/amuse her by singing the songs under my breath. It was fun.

On the other hand, I just spent eleven dollars on a 100-page book for summer reading. I really need to get a library membership.

Hairspray is truly an awesome movie musical. I'd love to see it on stage though, I bet it's even better. (And would like to see the original movie, which wasn't a musical.) And seeing it as someone who really does live near Baltimore was amusing. (Though I can tell you they pronounced Baltimore wrong - the true Baltimorean says it: "Buldimore." So it should've been "Good mornin' Buldimore!")

Hairspray! I loved it! I kind of missed "Mama I'm a Big Girl Now," and having a Penny with a strong voice, but those are minor quibbles when compared to the general awesomeness of the movie. I was only brave enough to mouth words to the songs, so even singing them under your breath earns major points from me.
