In Point Form 3
Lots of little things this week.
- Boomerang. Not only does it go there and back, it also goes up and down. And boy did we hit a low this week! Thankfully it bounced right back and the last few performances this week felt pretty good.
- Pain. With alot of the traditional dances, the idea of "do it on the left" isn't really relevant. Suffice to say that I'm feeling rather lopsided and the left side of my lower back is quite tight. Carrying a canoe on your back five nights a week really doesn't help either. Also, my left wrist is sore. Not to mention the foot injury from Japan.
- Steven Johnson - Everything Bad Is Good For You. Super-fast read, extremely interesting and yet it sounded so commonsensical it didn't seem as significant as I was expecting. Of course playing computer games is good for you, how can you possibly think otherwise?
- Lunch Date. How long has it been since I've been on a date??? This time around it was pub grub and wine, a get to know you, a friend of a friend's boyfriend. We've already locked in our next date which has been postponed slightly (for good reason) which brings me to my next point...
- Disappointment. The last three sets of tickets that I've bought for *friends* have ended up being no-shows. That's seven non-refundable tickets too many. And let it be said that tickets are usually non-refundable. Three of those tickets I had to book through the company because the show has been selling so well. Luckily the last two I was able to pass onto one of the backstage crew's friend but that still leaves five tickets I have to account for. I am NEVER buying tickets for people ever again (unless they're for family). Not to mention several cancelled engagements with friends this week.
- Feast. Because it was DM's last performance day with the company, a friend of the company cooked up a Saturday post-matinee feast TSI-style for us which was very tasty. A bit too tasty, I went back for fourths, had to have a post-feast nap and felt extremely heavy and fat for the Saturday night show. Twenty four hours later, I still don't feel hungry. It's interesting, too, the similarity between TSI food and Filipino food, the only thing missing was the pig but I guess that would have been too difficult to fit into a Sydney Opera House board room. There was a spectacular harbour view from the board room, one wonders how anyone here gets any work done with such a distraction.
- Mars Lounge. Happy belated birthday ST. Name-on-the-door situation. Smokey, despite the new anti-smoking laws. Pop dance music with occasional live instruments over the top. Expensive but tasty cocktails.
