I guess the good news is that it’s Monday night so I guess it’s not so bad.
Friday night: Was date night, though Lil’ and I were basically dead tired the entire time. Still, we had some good food and the usual excellent company. We amused ourselves by window shopping at Best Buy (well, kind of… ahem) and taking bets on whether the generally-unattended small child would set off the alarm by trying to go through the emergency exit at Outback.
Saturday: Was a bit of a blur, punctuated by housework, followed by Alexander’s one-act play night. We stayed for the first half of the series of plays (which included his, naturally), and left at Intermission because there was a tired youngster and a couple of not-so-perky oldsters to take care of. Alex was very good, even though he had only a few lines. Unfortunately he got stuck in the play that made me cringe the most out of the three we watched (which is saying something, considering the one that came after). While I generally agree with the sentiments expressed, a political diatribe is the fastest way I know to bring an evening’s entertainment to an abrupt cessation. I’m sure I wasn’t the only audience member cringing. Luckily the play’s end was amusing enough to make up for that somewhat, though I’m still not sure what to make of the fact that my son had a rather good-looking young lady draped against himself as the lights fell. (If I tell you about the dialog, I suspect my son will implode from embarrassment. I certainly wasn’t expecting it!)
Sunday: Was more housework, shopping, a trip to go work on an old friend’s computer equipment, at the end of which I ended up with a used laptop. (Dell Inspiron 8000, 1GHz CPU, 256 MB of RAM, 20 gig HDD, now wiped clean and freshly installed with Kubuntu Edgy. In case you’re wondering. Oh, and it weighs a freaking ton. But, hey: Free.) Followed by retrieving Kyla from the train station and a night of gaming.
Today: Was work, punctuated by blustery wet weather, followed by some City of Villains and…
Sleep. Shortly. G’nite, everybody.

Implode? Really? Actually, I guess one doesn’t really explode from embarrassment…
I think that Colton, my director, was actually intending for some of the audience members to cringe at the endless political criticism. ‘Cause that’s what the play focused on, y’know. Political beliefs getting in the way of relationships…
I won’t bore you with how hard it was to get into character before each performance. Dan, my character, is a near complete opposite of myself. ‘Nuff said.
I have Anxiety’s premier school performance on video, for endless mortification value. Ah, the joys of parenting! *evil grin*
