Poisson d'Avril!

Happy April Fool's Day (or Poisson d'Avril in France which means April Fish). In France, you tape paper fish to peoples' backs and yell "Poisson d'Avril" when they figure it out. FUn fact for the day =)

Anyhow, Vacancy in Paradise is over at last. It was fun while it lasted but I think all drama kids can come the the consensus that after working on a play for over five months, one does become slightly tired of the process.

We are the Hotness =)

How '40's pin-up girl of us?

The whole cast and crew on our hole of a stage =D Silly pic time...You see we all officially lost our damn minds by the time it was all said and done.

Anywho, things have been relatively drama free this week (no pun and irony intended). The weather is beautiful. I do find it mildly amusing, however, that seeing as I have stopped responding to email and snail mail where college pamphlets are concerned, that instead of giving up or giving in they are getting more aggressive. For the second time in the past week I have received a call at home from a registrar's office with students calling to ask how I feel about their school and "Do you have any questions?", "Oh, our drama department??? It's fabulous! Nationally recognized - I think." *Sigh* These poor dears. I am not much of a phone junkie I must confess and I do not make for such interesting conversation as can be reasonably understood by one who has not spent their life being brainwashed by The Arts. I must be a terrible bore to talk to with head constantly looking for a cloud high enough to perch itself on.

But, all in all, it has been a calm week. Kristin and I are planning to prom dress shop next week which will probably turn into a very tedious task. I don't have too much else to say at this point in time anymore. Hope you are all having a good week! I am off to start squirming my way through the eight books I picked up at the library today =) (that's what happens when you don't have cable).

Lyrics to Belle from Beauty and the Beast :

Little town

It's a quiet village

Ev'ry day

Like the one before

Little town

Full of little people

Waking up to say:

[Townsfolk:] Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour!

[Belle:] There goes the baker with his tray, like always

The same old bread and rolls to sell

Ev'ry morning just the same

Since the morning that we came

To this poor provincial town

[Baker:] Good Morning, Belle!

[Belle:] 'Morning, Monsieur.

[Baker:] Where are you off to?

[Belle:] The bookshop. I just finished the most wonderful story

about a beanstalk and an ogre and a -

[Baker:] That's nice. Marie! The baguettes! Hurry up! )

[Townsfolk:] Look there she goes that girl is strange, no question

Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?

Never part of any crowd

'Cause her head's up on some cloud

No denying she's a funny girl that Belle

[Man I:] Bonjour

[Woman I:] Good day

[Man I:] How is your fam'ly?

[Woman II:] Bonjour

[Man II:] Good day

[Woman II:] How is your wife?

[Woman III:] I need six eggs

[Man III:] That's too expensive

[Belle:] There must be more than this provincial life

[Bookseller:] Ah, Belle.

[Belle:] Good Morning. I've come to return the book I borrowed.

[Bookseller:] Finished already?

[Belle:] Oh, I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new?

[Bookseller:] Ha Ha! Not since yesterday.

[Belle:] That's all right. I'll borrow . . . . . this one!

[Bookseller:] That one? But you've read it twice!

[Belle:] Well, it's my favorite! Far off places, daring swordfights,

magic spells, a prince in disguise -

[Bookseller:] If you like it all that much, it's yours!

[Belle:] But sir!

[Bookseller:] I insist.

[Belle:] Well, thank you. Thank you very much!

[Townsfolk:] Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar

I wonder if she's feeling well

With a dreamy far-off look

And her nose stuck in a book

What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle

[Belle:] Oh, isn't this amazing?

It's my fav'rite part because you'll see

Here's where she meets Prince Charming

But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three

[Woman:] Now it's no wonder that her name means "beauty"

Her looks have got no parallel

[Shopkeeper:] But behind that fair facade

I'm afraid she's rather odd

Very diff'rent from the rest of us

[Townsfolk:] She's nothing like the rest of us

Yes, diff'rent from the rest of us is Belle

[LeFou:] Wow! You didn't miss a shot, Gaston! You're the greatest

hunter in the whole world!

[Gaston:] I know.

[LeFou:] No beast alive stands a chance against you. Ha ha ha! And

no girl, for that matter.

[Gaston:] It's true, LeFou. And I've got my sights set on that one.

[LeFou:] Hm! The inventor's daughter?

[Gaston:] She's the one - the lucky girl I'm going to marry.

[LeFou:] But she's -

[Gaston:] The most beautiful girl in town.

[LeFou:] I know, but -

[Gaston:] That makes her the best. And don't I deserve the best?

[LeFou:] Well, of course! I mean you do, but -

[Gaston:] Right from the moment when I met her, saw her

I said she's gorgeous and I fell

Here in town there's only she

Who is beautiful as me

So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle

[Bimbettes:] Look there he goes

Isn't he dreamy?

Monsieur Gaston

Oh he's so cute

Be still my heart

I'm hardly breathing

He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute

[Man I:] Bonjour!

[Gaston:] Pardon

[Man II:] Good day

[Man III:] Mais oui!

[Matron:] You call this bacon?

[Woman I:] What lovely grapes!

[Man IV:] Some cheese

[Woman II:] Ten yards

[Man IV:] one pound

[Gaston:] 'scuse me!

[Cheese merchant:] I'll get the knife

[Gaston:] Please let me through!

[Woman I:] This bread -

[Man V:] Those fish -

[Woman I:] it's stale!

[Man V:] they smell!

[Baker:] Madame's mistaken.

[Belle:] There must be more than this provincial life!

[Gaston:] Just watch, I'm going to make Belle my wife!

[Townsfolk:] Look there she goes a girl who's strange but special

A most peculiar mad'moiselle

It's a pity and a sin

She doesn't quite fit in

'Cause she really is a funny girl

A beauty but a funny girl

She really is a funny girl

That Belle
