Kris 0 #1 October 27, 2002 Man oh man. What a week... It started off well enough, my boss finally pushed my promotion through along with my first yearly review. To say that the resultant raise was "generous" would be an understatement. I've finally found a company that knows how to treat their employees like humans. Now, if I could just convince them to move my ass to NC... So, I'm hanging with this cool chick-friend of mine and she notices that Ballet Oklahoma is putting on a production of "Dracula". I had never been before (BEER!) but thought it sounded interesting. So, I scored us some seats right in the front of the orcestra pit and we make it a date. You know, in hind-sight, I should have realized that the terms "Ballet" and "Oklahoma" really don't go that well together. The first part of the production was actually really good. I had decided before-hand that if I didn't like it I could tune out and turn it into a mental production of "female hotties in tights". It was surprising, but the essence of the story actually came across really well when only emoted through dance. Then... the last act came up. We stumble back to our seats after the second intermission. I have to say stumble because we ordered a couple of Crown & cokes that turned out to be ALL Crown (Sweet! I'm getting cultured and liquored up!). The third and last act starts...then we notice something isn't quite right. The rest of the crowd notices too because there are various giggles and snickering going on around me. The male lead has forgotten to zip up the fly on his pants and his shirt is doing an escape act through his fly. This would have been somewhat funny in it's own right if it hadn't been through EVERY last scene in the act. "Surely he'll have it fixed when he comes back from being off-stage.', my friend says. Nope, his shirt is still trying to escape. All-in-all, it was a good night, then it turned into a crappy morning when I woke up at 7:30 am feeling the distinct need to empty my already empty stomach. If I thought I felt ill the night before it was no question now. So, no jumping today, I missed night-jumps, and even if I did miracuously heal, there's a big thunderstorm coming in tomorrow. I think it's time to yank out the Morrissey CD's, throw in something a little more depressing, and wallow in my Diet Mountain Dew. Kris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
