Friday was incredibly busy, but excellent. Got paid, paid some bills, blah blah blah...but after that, had an hour of improv practice, a break, and then the second-to-last White Tie show of the semester. Show was decent...definitely fun, though technically sloppy at parts. Still, people laughed, and that's all that matters. Afterwards, we went to one guy's place for drinks and to chat about things, and while we weren't planning on anything super exciting, about a half a dozen of us ended up having a 4-hour chat on religion, music, and improv, while listening to vinyl records and sipping martinis. All in all, a pretty fantastic way to spend the night.
Saturday was spent mostly at work, and while the majority of customers were somewhat needy and naggy, I had a few that ended up being pretty alright. Specifically, one woman promised me free coffee for visiting her cafe, and another man and I had a pretty interesting conversation about the nuances of Santa Claus costumes. Turns out that they run about $75 for the cheap ones, and the one that this guy has costs about $150, though the one he really wants runs about $300. I had no idea the market for Santa costumes was so competitive, or that they actually come in crushed red velvet with rabbit fur. But apparently they do. Color me surprised. Saturday's show was...alright. I'm still beating myself up over a few stupid little mistakes, but people seemed to enjoy it (all 6 that showed up), so I suppose there's that. Afterwards, went to a going-away/birthday party for one of the members of the group, and had a pretty great time there. Met a girl, only to discover that she's moving out of town in a couple of weeks. That's life, I guess.
Today went by alright. Woke up late because of last night's drinking, went to work, went to a concert afterwards for music history, and came home to write this. Nothing super interesting, Sorry. Flute recitals, as it turns out, have the incredible ability to simultaneously sound whiny and shrieky, AND put me to sleep. It's magic, I think. There's no other explanation.
Anyway, that's all I've got today. I suppose if I'd written on the actual ays, I'd have gone into more detail, but frankly my memory is awful and I'm tired. So....have a good night, folks!
