really glad that I don't have a personal computer in my apartment. Says enough!
So yesterday morning around 7, I had just come out of my shower, and was trying to figure out what to do with my non-structured day, when I got a call from Friends. Had a full day, really full, four classes, three in a row then a lunch break, then a fourth and then clubs. Glad I survived it, as usual, had nothing left after the day was finished, returned home and essentially "crashed". Will return to Friends tomorrow, and on Sunday I will see the spring musical, really looking forward to that.
Tuesday night, with great anticipation went to see the Met's new production of Cosi, the one taking place in Coney Island in the fifties. Stayed only one act---terribly disappointed. While the Coney Island back drop may be viable, the movement of the six leads on stage was flat and clumsy. The two heroines,wore the same costumes through the whole act---didn't they want to change for the evening, would not that make sense, and those costumes, in and of themselves are flat and unflattering to the singers. Very little movement on stage---I don't think this director really has any idea how to move people around, no fluidity to match Mozart's music at all. The singing was decent---but there was just a lack of passion all around. Had to leave after Act I, really annoyed, fantasized my own production which would have much more fluidity.
But the news wasn't all bad. After what seemed like an eternity, the 11 bus going north arrived, and I took it to Lansdowne Road to watch some baseball and say hello to my friend Mel who is on the restaurant's wait staff. She was really happy to see me---that made the evening completely worth while. Caught the 11 bus on my way home with out much wait.
Because I did not work today at Friends, I think I will have enough energy to trek to AbronsArts and see my friend Eliza's one woman show that she is doing there. Actually I saw a workshop of it last October---I wonder how much it has changed---but I want to show my support.
That is all for now---will report soon.
