Laugh, Smile, and Dance ... and Oh Yes, Whistle

Ever remember watching Monty Python? I have recollections of staying at my friend's house with other people and watching series of Monty Python movies in a row. And now this irreverent humour has come to Broadway in the form of Spamalot. I've been listening to it for a while and it's hilarious. One of the song's lyrics reminds me of one of Rodgers and Hammerstein's (100 points if you know it):

If life seems jolly rotten,
There's always something youve forgotten!
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing,
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps,
Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing!
And...Always look on the bright side of life
(Whistle)

I did my first major social outing in the last few months. Prior to this it was out to eat with one set of friends. Yesterday I went on a 5 hour sojourn to Kahala Mall (to eat at CPK) and then to Dole to watch Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith. This was my "medical school" set of friends and it was nice to unwind about work. And catch up with people. And the movie was really good. I'm going to have to watch it again. That was my monthy venture outside the home. Keep your eyes open for the next sighting. And as Spamalot says (you've gotta listen to this one, it's hilarious):

I am not dead yet
I can dance and I can sing
I am not dead yet
I can do the highland fling
I am not dead yet
No need to go to bed
No need to call the doctor
'Cos I'm not yet dead.
