So, yesterday I added some money onto my Starbucks card online. $20, I thought. Later in the day when I used it to buy coffee, I discovered I'd added $50!!!! That's enough to last me for months. Maybe six or seven or more, even. I prefer local coffee houses to Starbucks, both because I prefer the coffee and because I like to support local businesses; however, some places Starbucks is just more convenient. I know it's not my eyes, because I just had them checked two weeks ago. Must be my monitor. It is getting kind of fuzzy. Sigh.
I saw "Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical" last night at California Music Circus in Sacramento. Very, very freaky. A bit like Phantom of the Opera, but with not so cool music. Plenty of music, just not as good. Some awkward and strange lyrics - a bit stilted sometimes.
JEKYLL: How can I pursue the truth, When they can block each step I take?
UTTERSON: Henry, you have come too far - Remember what you have at stake!
JEKYLL: John, I know I'm right! I must let my vision guide me! I'm so weary of the fight! There's so little left inside me!
UTTERSON: If you know that you are right, Then you've got to see it through, You've got to see it through!
JEKYLL: Seven years ago, I started out on this alone, And it's alone I'll see it through To its conclusion!
Who are they To judge what I am doing? They know nothing Of the endless possibilities I see! It's ludicrous I'm bound by their decision!
UTTERSON: Seems vision Is a word They never heard!
JEKYLL: If it mattered less, I'd treat them with derision - It's absurd!
UTTERSON: And yet, the fact remains, Those bastards hold the reins!
("Pursue The Truth" lyrics)
Phantom on steroids.
Bumped into my friends from Stockton, Andy & Leslie, while crossing the street back to the parking garage. One of those "it's a small world" moments. What were the odds?
