Saturday night. . .it's alright


Well, this weekend finds me in very mixed feelings.

Today was a generally relaxing day, as it was the first saturday in a while that I didn't have to do anything--heck, I didn't even have to tutor this afternoon, like I thought I would. I spent the majority of my afternoon reading the webcomic "Pillars of Faith" (on Sprite's recommendation), and had a great time learning neat things about vampires and vampire hunting. Nothing like a comic that's fun, has a good plot, and actually teaches you something ;).

ANYWAY. As you may have noticed from Dave's entry, "ROCKY" did indeed rock, a hell of a lot. Mr. Bardwell in particular was fantastic. I've always loved Tim Curry's performance of Dr. Frankenfurter. . . just how beautiful and larger than life one man could be in a corset and garters. Dammnit, when Tom burst out of his cloak, revealing one fine looking man in beautiful beautiful outfit. . . wow. It was just something to behold. I could go on and on about stage presence, etc. But it's just not the same as being there.

The show was super-great. I really did just sit there in wide-eyed wonder for the majority of the performance. Although it's never going to beat the very first time I saw the movie, when I was young enough not to be sure Dr. Frankenfurter was male or female. It's the one thing I lament. That show used to be so shocking, it was a total turn-on. Now, it's still a bit shocking, but I guess I'm getting older. Frankly, it was also hard to convince my brain that I was watching a live cast due crazy half-naked things on stage. I'm so used to expecting censorship on stage, you know? But to everyone on cast, thanks for a fantastic show!

It's been a little rough lately, what with a little line of guests since thursday or so staying in the room. But I've got some quiet time now while the last show is going on. Ahhhhh.

All in all, it's been a rough set of weeks, where I've had to keep my eyes on the ground and just plow ahead until all the work was done. Not fun, but interesting to see if I could do that. I think I did.

I'm rather bummed that halloween is over already. I love the spookiness of this time of year, but after Halloween it sort of fades away. . . .alas, now it's not scary--just damn cold.
