keladry_lupin♥♥♥♥♥ I got a couple of Winnie the Pooh audio books from the public library during lunch. It's a full dramatization with some fantastic actors including Stephen Fry, Judi Dench, Geoffrey Palmer, and Sandi Toksvig.
Maybe it's Disney's influence -- Jim Cummings's voice is rather tenor when he voices Pooh -- but Stephen Fry sounds more like Eeyore to me than Pooh. And the voice of Britain's biggest brain as the bear of very little brain took me aback a little, but Fry's a good enough actor that I got over it quickly.
I got to the second story where Pooh visits Rabbit and thought the voice sounded familiar, so I looked at the cover to see who played him. Robert Daws ... Robert Daws .... Oh! "TUPPY!!!" I squealed. (Thank goodness I was in the car at that time.) I'm such a Jeeves and Wooster fangirl.
Jane Horrocks is a brilliant Piglet, too. I giggled lots during "In Which Piglet Meets a Heffalump."
♥ Lunch also consisted of a sandwich from Togo's (yum) and leaving a few promotional cards for Into the Woods there with the manager's permission.
♥♥ I slept well last night and got almost eight hours. I think Marla was worried about me during rehearsal last night when I started dozing during the Act II sing through. I dunno what the problem was; I'm not in Act II except for the show's finale; it's not like I was missing any queues.
♥♥♥ Without going into specifics, I must squee over one tiny bit of my Exchange project. It's just a throwaway joke that I threw in there, but I giggled when I thought of it and am quite proud of how it turned out.
♥ I started reading Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy last night in preparation for the movie coming out next month. I was too sleepy to finish even the first chapter, but I'm hooked.
♥ I got a much-needed kick in the butt from someone this morning about being a better friend. Yes, she's mentally ill, self centered, and has a puffed up sense of what she's entitled to, but that doesn't mean I haven't been neglecting her, because I have.
