My dead body is obscured by the smoke. I was probably shot by some kid from Alabama.
OK, back to the weekend recap. Last Thursday I saw the musical Wicked with my brother in KC. Damn, I wish I had seen it when it was in LA, and I wish I had caught it the 2 times I was in NYC. Very good musical. I've scene a good number of musicals in my time and this one definitely gets a top 3 mention. In no particular order I also favor Miss Saigon and Avenue Q.
Watching the musical actually brings us to RCCOTM.

I hope she can help me with my magic wand. I think if she shakes it for a while we can get that sparkly fairy dust out.
She kicked much ass as Glinda the Good Witch in Wicked. She stole every scene she was in. Great voice and not too shabby to look at.
For those of you who haven't scene the musical or don't watch Glee, the song Defying Gravity is definitely my favorite (and most people's favorite it seems). You can listen to the Glee cast's version HERE. I thought they did a great job with it.
I've often heard of the term "Sex Appeal" being applied to male musicians or singers who were, how shall I put it, not that fun to look at; but still landed tons of female attention. It's the voice or their musical abilities. I think I have only recently been more affected by this phenomenon. If there was one talent I wish I possessed, it would be singing ability.
This brings us to...
1B. Ellie Goulding
Nerdy glasses only belong on cool indie chicks. Guys should stop wearing them.
I thank my brother for introducing her into my life. The funny thing is that I'm most enamored by a remix.
So, don't blame the alcohol, blame it on the Starry Eyed (Jakwob Remix. Click the link and listen to it damn it!
So that was Thursday. Friday was pretty much a chill day. My mom had come into KC for a dental procedure so we pretty much just kicked it with her. A Costco run yielded a bountiful harvest of King Crab Legs so we enjoyed that for dinner.
My mom drove the 4 hours back to Hays early Saturday morning so that left my brother and I to fend for ourselves in order to eat the rest of the weekend. We hit up a good Korean place called Choga. It really hit the spot as I haven't eaten Korean food in quite some time.
Normally I'm not a huge fan of Korean food since my tolerance of spicy food is negative 2 on a 10 point scale. But I grubbed on Bulgogi while my bro had Bibimbap.
After dinner and thoroughly smelling like Korean food, we headed to one of our new KC Filipino friend's house to watch the Manny P fight. In true Pinoy fashion the house was full of food. We walked up to the guys in the garage sitting around a keg and manning a deep fryer; lumpia for days.
Obviously the fight was a great success and very enjoyable. I lost all nervousness and apprehension about the outcome after the second round. Pacman was in full control of the situation.
After the fight a few of us headed back to the Power & Light district in downtown KC for some more merrymaking. The great thing that I found out is that the bars and clubs are open until 3 am! This was great since we didn't get there until 1.
After a little more drinking and a little more dancing we headed out just before 3. On our way back to the car we ended up getting some food. I snacked on a jumbo hotdog and still found room for a gyro (it wasn't until later that I realized that we had eaten dinner at 5 pm the night before so I didn't really eat anything for 10 hours). Does food taste any better than after a night out? I would say no.
I stuck around Sunday afternoon to watch a laughable NFL game between the Chiefs and the Raiders. It was definitely a waste of time.
So, all in all another great weekend. I may be making another return trip to KC this weekend. My parents will be back there for one of my aunt's birthday party. I'm as yet undecided if I'll head out...its about 50/50 right now.
Oh, the interview that will determine my nursing fate is in roughly 17 hours. Wish me luck!

Hands clap when I’m rolling my body
That’s a seven if I was rolling the dice
I don’t care, I’ll be dancing upon your table
Steal your bottle and I’ll suck it down to the bottom
Think that I’m cute to you, just smile
What you gon’ do about it now?
