So last night went to see Aida, opening night show. This musical has gotten very good reviews and the music is done by Elton John and Tim Rice. And I must say, the music is very good. However, the story resembles too much of Romeo and Juliet, which bodes points to be taken off, because this story line has been kicked around too much.

Aside from that, the musical starts off kind of slow. And the beginning made no sense at the beginning, but it all made sense at the end. If you see it, you'll be like "ohhhh" at the end. The music was a little unlikely at that time, it's very "modernized". The sets were interesting, there were a couple that were really good, like they had this set where it's shows a pool-side. And then they had people swimming in the air, it was really cool.

It wasn't as good as Lion King, but I wonder if the reason for this is because I knew the story-line of Lion King, and so the music was easier to understand. Whereas I didn't read any summaries about Aida, so when they sang, it was much harder to interpret the music. Overall, I'd give the play a 7.5/10.

So yesterday Ernie Eves, the premier of Ontario announced a new project to link all public transit systems in the GTA together for ease of use using a new Smart Card. A Smart card is like your Bell Canada Phone card where money is stored on a chip, and machines deducts money from the card each time you use it. So while this is a big convenience for everybody, don't have to worry about buying tickets from this municipality, and the other municipality, one card can be used for everything, including GO transit.

Although this makes life easier for the commuter, there is one downfall to this scheme. That is there is no limit to how much they can charge now. Because everybody always worries about exact change and stuff, when paying cash fare. However, now they can raise the cost any time, any amount, because it does not matter anymore, it's automatically deducted from the card, and it's always exact change. So when TTC decides to come into this (they said they'll wait until they see some money before implementing it), they can hike the $2.25 cash fare even higher whenever they want, in any denomination. So everybody, expect to see $3.00 in ten years.

It's getting hot out there right now, and I am beginning to miss the Winter season. I have always said I like cold weather more than hot weather. The main reason is because I would prefer wearing more clothes, as opposed to the limitation to the amount of clothes I can take off. I'm just not a big fan of hot weather, I mean there are no advantages. The sun is bad for you. Let's all hope it snows in August. =)

I have this bottle of Dasani water in front of me. From what I remember, a lot of people don't like this brand of water because it's "Mineralized Water", which basically means theyb take normal water, with all the chemicals, toxins, everything, and then add more, in the form of minerals to try and take them out. Thus, Mineralizing is adding minerals in it to make it more clean. However, this water says "Remineralized Water". What does that mean? I interpret it two ways: 1. They mineralized it once, then did the same procedure again, thus "re-doing" it. 2. Take mineralized water, that has been exposed again (or used again, in some way i can't think of) and then re-mineralize it. I dunno, both does not sound good. But first method is no "re-doing" anything, it's just a longer mineralizing process. Dumb words.

I missed episode of American Idol and the Bachelor last night, because of Aida. So I could not wait to watch it on tape, I wandered to the websites to read the recaps. There was no recap on the American Idol website, however I did find out who was left via the animated picture of three left, and the poll asking wheather Josh deserved to leave. I think he did, he's great when he's on, but horrible when he's off. Country is for him, and nothing else, which limits his potential as a Pop star.

As for The Bachelor.Now although this is a bad show, but what guy wouldn't want to be in his shoes? but anyways, three were left, tina, Jenn, and Kirsten. Now Kirsten is a snob, but who cares, she is nice when two of them are together, and if she doesn't make friends with the others, doesn't matter. I didn't really want tina to win, and low and behold, she got voted off. that's fine with me. I like Kirsten and Jenn. they both look stunning. I know, I'm so dumb for watching it, but someone's got to.

NEWS: the new Amazing Race is going to be on at the end of the month, don't anybody miss, it, one of best reality shows on tv, with the Mole, and American Idol, those are the best Reality Shows.
