I feel like this is illustrative

Interesting thought: I've known what an electrical circuit was and what it did before I knew... almost anything else. I must have been maybe four, and it's one of my earliest memories

(The new downside is that now I wanna see it on stage again :((( )

The only silver lining to the Cats movie coming out is that it got me to watch a professionally filmed version for the first time in years.

(It has distinctly better set design and costuming to the version I remember growing up with -- which is wild, b/c that one was a pretty high budget one for Finnish musical theater -- and it definitely improves the experience. Unfortunately that just makes me more mad that the movie version looks so hideous b/c. If you're gonna do "Cats", why would you not make it the most visually opulent thing you've ever seen???)
