Swan
Lake
BalletMet | Swan
Lake
We
saw two shows this weekend, each received standing ovations. Both
were good, but not exceptional. The standing ovation now seems matter-of-fact,
expected, and given with no judgment passed.
BalletMet
last performed Swan Lake in 2000, which we saw; I agree with Amy that
the dancer of Odette was unbelievably swan-like in that performance;
the dancer tonight was less so.
The
program was far less discouraging toward camera-weilding patrons,
though the pre-performance announcement prohibited using them during
the show. This was reinforced by one of the ushers who must have seen
someone with a camera out (still before the curtain rose) and snapped,
"You, put that camera away. I don't want to see any flashes."
Rainy,
grey
But pleasant -- I still got some work done in the
garden, in between laundry loads.

Unfortunately
I wasn't permitted to bring a camera to the show. The program had
dire language directed at anyone who had the temerity to even think
of bringing a camera.

Stop lying. to America: There was no connection between
Saddam & 9/11 -- Bipartisan Commission.
The
Uncle Sam figure seated facing the rear was spanking a George Bush
figure over his lap. I would have liked to have gotten a picture of
that, but this was taken from a car at a stoplight, and there were
no good spots to halt traffic to grab the shot.
Hopefully
it was not someone trying to capture this on camera that knocked the
stoplight out at the next intersection north. The repair crew was
on site, as was a police officer. Rather than direct traffic, however,
she (or someone else) had set up two temporary stop signs between
lanes of Neil Avenue and was simply watching the ensuing mess. Columbus
drivers are not capable of unexpected multi-lane stop signs.

(from the Neil Avenue Giant Eagle (we needed taco shells for dinner))
through the Short North (to avoid experiencing the aforementioned
dead light a second time) I noticed the lack of wall and the "For
lease" sign. Where did the theater go?

John Kerry looked solid, if not brilliant
George
Bush looked irritated, unhappy, tired, ("This job is hard work."
Repeat.) and off in a world of his own.
American
Idiot
Green Day | Lyrics
Don't wanna be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new media.
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck America.
Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.
Well maybe I'm the faggot America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along in the age of paranoia.
Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.
Don't wanna be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information age of hysteria.
It's calling out to idiot America.
Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

KWASNIEWSKI (translated): They deceived us about the weapons of

Kerry
shouldn't have forgotten Poland.
That

Plumbing
is not easy
(Though hopefully it won't come to demolition). We
spent the evening attempting to lower the shower spray and install
a showerhead that could deliver a stronger spray.
We
ended the (late) evening frustrated and tired.
