Into the woods...

Today I had to upgrade a laptop and backup another one (and pass all the data to a new one this Friday), I am officially the tech guy in this association i'm in, so when a member has a problem with a computer they call me, they pay, so I have no problem with that :P

It took me more time than what I thought it would be, since the laptop is used for school, and the owner studies graphics design, it had way to many files, I had to back up almost 100GB and it was taking a lot of time to copy them over my external HDD, and since the computer was in pretty bad shape it was slow, and I mean slooooooooooow!!.

When I realized that this was going to take much more time than I thought I decided to watch something, it had been a long time since I watched a musical (not that I have watched that many), and since I had read something about Into the woods, I decided to watch it.

The plot combines 4 fairy tales, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red-Riding Hood and Rapunzel, and the story of a poor baker and his wife who wanted to have child, but for some curse, they can't. I have not laugh so hard in weeks, maybe months, I won't get much into details, but what I loved the most is that the first act finishes with "They lived happily after" and then they proceed to tell you what happens next.

Really a good story, something worth watching again if the occasion warrants it.
