Aida. Dinosaurs. Aida. Dinosaurs. Can't decide!

And now time for LITE's Review of Stuff!
We'll start with Aida. As I said, I went to go see Aida with my mom, grandma, Josh and grandma's friend, Dorothy.
The musical was phenomenal. I enjoy the soundtrack (it's why I'm listening to it now), but Josh didn't seem to enjoy it much. I suspect he was in a bitchy mood, though, since he bitched me out for chewing gum before the show.
So... for the Story.. Howard gives it 8 / 10... sometimes a bit off or overdone, but generally good
For amusement factor... Howards gives it 8 / 10... it'll definately keep you entertained. And there are a few great laughs, but I've seen musicals that kept you laughing and this wasn't one of those.
For Music.. Howard gives it 7.5 / 10... understand.. i DO like the soundtrack and I think Elton John did well. But there's no breakaway hit like on his other soundtrack (Lion King). The songs ARE memorable and good. I think maybe I was expectant of something I didn't get.
For Dancing.. Howard gives it 10/10... I don't generally care for dancing, especially when it very rarely has ANYTHING to do with the plot, but past that, the Dancing was great. Even I enjoyed it!
For sets and dressing... I'd give it 8 / 10... they definately used 21st century technology to good effect. The sets weren't too complicated but they didn't need to be. My only issue (and this did bother me) was that the Nubians were, by and large, Black and the Egyptians were, by and large, White. And that bothered me. Yes, yes, I'm a stickler for stupid things like that.
But, all in all, Aida was great. If any of y'all have a chance to go see it, I strongly suggest it.

And now a review of a totally different sort.
My review of Dino Digs.. the Add-on to Zoo Tycoon.
I enjoy Zoo Tycoon quite a bit. It's challenging and fun to build exhibits for a bunch of different animals. It's nice to make both animals and guests happy. The game appeals to my managerial side.
So Dino Digs definately adds to all the fun. You have over 20 dinosaur and Ice Age species (approximately 18 dinosaurs, I believe and 4 Ice Age beastes) you can add to your guest. This expansion rocks. It adds on to everything that's great in Dino Digs: new animals, new spectacles (like the Dinosaur Cinema), New Scenery etc.
Dinosaurs that I've seen include most of the famous ones (it's obvious they've been keeping a big eye on the Jurassic Park movies): Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Velociraptor, T-Rex, Apatosaurus, Spinosaurus. There's, of course, a Wooly Mammoth and a Smilodon (Sabre-toothed cat) as well.. and a few lesser known set of dinosaurus.. kentrosaurus, caudipteryx, Herrerasaurus etc.
All in all, this is a great add-on and instead of talking about it, I think I'll go play it instead. :D
See y'all latahz.

I need a dream interpretation

Kareila reminded me of a really weird dream I had last night that made me wake up, heart pounding and sweating.
I don't remember it THAT well, but I'll try to give the basic gist of the story.
So... I was at some school of some sort. I hated it there. It was much like a prison. My father (and I THINK my stepmother) wanted me at this school, though and tried very hard to keep me there.
The scene sort of shifts.. I've escaped from the school and there's something vaguely military going on in the school lot. There were lots of trucks and I had to try to keep away from all of them. Finally I grab a Van or SUV and drive the hell out of the school lot and head home.
At home, I try to tell my mother about the terrible things going on, but my father comes in. And he's a hitman. And he's going to kill me, since I know too much. I run from him and lock him out. He cuts the phones, one by one, as I try to call 911. I get the brilliant idea to use my mom's cell phone and peer outside just in time to see my dad take a HUUUUUGE freaking gun out of the van he's driving and then he shoots at me. The bullet barely misses me as I jump out of the way, but it rips through the walls like as if they were paper.
That's when I wake up.

I've only dreamed of my father one other time. In the first dream, he's death and he's there to collect me and bring me to.. whatever lies beyond. (he wouldn't tell me). I begged to make a call so I could let SOMEONE know I was dead and he was OK with that and I woke up from that dream.

I find it interesting how I seem to have linked dad with death and suffering in my subconscious/dreams.. hmm..

Anyways, back to Zoo Tycoon :D
