skygiants: Princess Tutu, facing darkness with a green light in the distance (ooooh)
So yesterday there was an earthquake apparently! EXCITING. I noticed absolutely nothing. My roommates promptly decided this was because I can't tell the difference between normal failing-to-keep-my-balance and earthquake-prompted-failing-to-keep-my-balance, which may well be absolutely true for all I know.

Much more actually exciting than the earthquake: yesterday [livejournal.com profile] innerbrat and I went to go see the BROADWAY-STYLE KOREAN MUSICAL Hero at Lincoln Center about legendary Korean freedom fighter An Chunggun ! Debi has done an amazing and detailed write-up which you should all go read. I will only tell you that the production began with a bunch of REVOLUTIONARIES dramatically cutting off their index fingers as a sign of their DEVOTION TO THE CAUSE (which is what lets you know it will be epic!) and included, among other things tailored to our interests:

- a ragtag group of bantery revolutionary misfits
- numerous amazing dance-fight-chase-sequences
- an intensely dedicated policeman in a black-and-red leather jacket and slicked-back pompadour of EVIL singing the Korean equivalent of "Stars"
- a scene in which a brusque and antisocial sniper finds himself, to his own horror, dancing about the power of his FEELINGS
- a courtesan spy assassin! who spends every single one of her songs singing about her love for her tragically dead Empress! (I am pretty sure they put that subplot in just for us)
