Whoopsies

I forgot to write a post last night. Maybe it's because I lost all sense of time somehow and started making cookies and doing laundry at 10:30 p.m. without realizing it was 10:30 p.m. Usually I'm getting ready for bed at that time, because somehow I still think that going to bed before midnight will help me sleep better. It never, ever does. But going to bed at 1 a.m. kind of makes my not sleeping seem worser.

The point: in lieu of writing one of my well thought out and thoroughly researched rants or sharing a pretty from my internet travels or otherwise schooling you on life, I'm giving you Trailer Wednesday! Because it's begun, people. The official hype-machine for Les Miserables the movie musical with Hugh Jackman, Russel Crow, and (sigh) Anne Hathaway. Sometimes I feel like Anne Hathaway and Scarlett Johansson are collectively ruining my life. They are generally such clunky screen presences. But, based on this trailer, I have a spark of hope that this will be one of Hathaway's exceptions.

I have been familiar (memorized at a young age) with the music from Les Mis (as the kids call it) for about as long as I can remember, but I didn't actually see the show until two years ago when I was lucky enough to see it in London with my sister Sara. Despite a bit of sketchy talent (I'm looking at you Marius), I loved the show. I hope the movie can, in the very least, stand up to the stage performance.

I'm aslo shocked that my very conservative parents never stopped me from listening to the scandalous song "Lovely Ladies." Huh.
