Cats: The Musical

So New Zealand has decided to catch up with 1983 and do their own rendition of the Andrew Lloyd Webber favorite Cats! They had an audition information last night and a few people from school decided to go. Turns out they would like to have a few acrobats and aerialists in the show and look who's going to audition! I haven't auditioned yet but just thought all of you should know. Though I wouldn't be a main cat, I have ambitions to be Mr. Mistoffelees with his conjuring turn of 25 pirouettes on one foot. I think I've got what it takes.

Here's the Rum Tum Tugger and Magical Mr. Mistofelees. I see the similarities don't you?

NZ vs. TX

So, I think I've finally been here long enough to start talking about the differences between New Zealand and Texas in detail. While some differences are more important than others, I believe the issue of the Fanny Pack to be the funniest.

Turns out that in Kiwi slang a fanny is not a rump shaker like in the States. It is, in fact, what we would find on the front of a female! The imagery that comes to mind with that kind of "fanny" pack is too much.

The Kiwi translation of a fanny pack is a Bum Bag.

So pack your bum bags and let's go!!!
