If calculated right, I have 7 essays left. 3 of a free choice, 3 of an annoying type, and my final big essay. I can do this! I can do this! I should be able to be done in May! *goes praying and taking a last day off*

Well, on http://kittyocean.deviantart.com/ , you can read how I managed to fall down some stairs, and how I managed to get poor. In this blog, I'll write my report of The Lion King musical I visited, as well as some news about my neighbour's cat.

Why writing about a cat which is not mine? Well, that cat is around 17 years old, and used to be best friends with my first dog, as well as has been around as long as I can remember. They found her sunday. She was about to die, so the owner rushed off to the vet. It's uncertain how it's with her now. We have to think about the worst. But hey, she's 17! She had a good life... even though her first day out resulted in having 3 legs......

Anyway, the Lion King Musical. I must say I'm impressed. It was in Dutch, and what I feared also happened... boohoo! They made Timon and Pumbaa Belgium!!! Look, they were great actors, but WHY, oh WHY do people think Belgium people are funny because of how they talk?! Accent doesn't determine if people are funny, the jokes are!!
Anyway, the beginning was very surprising; I had no idea where to look! Oh wait, there was something! And there too! And there too!!! SO MUCH TO SEE!
I disliked Rafiki. Already thought he was a nutcrack in the movie. The actress/ actor (too much make up to see XD) was good at portraying that nutcrack though. I LOVED Scar! I mean it! Seriously! That actor was GREAT! And how casual he said 'paws of the tail!' and then went back to his hypocrytic self. Loved him! Seriously!
Young Simba was okay, Young Nala was ADORABLE! Their text was quite modern as well; 'KEIGAAF' is far more popular than 'Cool' nowadays XD.
Zazou was a great actor and role. I LOVED the english hat that actor wore. And how he spoke... so Zazou! And the songs he sang..... I expected a dutch version of 'Nobody knows the trouble I've seen...' , 'I've got a bunch of coconuts' and 'it's a small world..' But what did we get? 'Waaaaarheeeeeen leidt de weeeeeg, die wij moeeeeten gaaaaan.' PRICELESS! It's a 'populair' funural song in the Netherlands XD And the happy songs? 'Heb je even voor mij!' and 'Ik zag je lopen, OOHWEEOOH!' , both from Frans Bauer; kind of party songs. Again the modern touch! I loved it!

In the end, I really enjoyed it. And I managed to get surprised a lot. Well done!!!!
