from Turandot to Chicken Little

we were able to catch the last performance of Turandot by the Vancouver Opera last Thursday... and much like the first time I watched it in Bangkok, I was in awe of the sets, lights, and vocal performance! it was good to catch the show and watch it amidst all these graceful ladies decked with their pearls, diamonds, and wraps... there is something about watching a performance and dressing up for it that i have always loved. besides, after 7 days of runners, jeans, and sweaters, it was nice to wear leather boots, decent pants, and a dressy top for just one night.

chicken little was a fun movie! the action scenes are great, although i'm sure young children will get a little frightened with some scenes. it's great that animation companies are now coming up with socially-relevant story lines with issues like self-esteem, single parenthood, and relationships. who's your favorite character? i loved kirby!
