we saw Ariadne auf Naxos at Seattle Opera last night. i really appreciate the music and production values at Seattle Opera. i fell asleep during the second act, and the "commedia" characters were even more painfully unfunny than Shakespearean clowns. good people, bad play.

busy all day today. i started the day as a model for a charity fashion show, then i killed some hill trolls, and after that made plans to learn about quilting.

i work for a woman who organizes the entertainment for the Association for Catholic Children yearly luncheon. this year the vendor was Chico's. the modeling is fun, but the ladies who lunch are from a culture that is nearly alien to me. i feel a little odd at the WAC...it's a gym, but really it's a country club in a highrise with no golf course. so everyone involved is sweet, and i love having all these people telling me how pretty i am, but i'm listening to the conversations about the trip to Europe and the house in Whistler and the kids in private school and my fellow models come in with a Nordstrom bag in hand and buy the outfits they wore before they leave. i like the chandeliers and the gold leaf WAC logos on the chocolate wafer that garnished desert. there was a very busy cash bar, and i was crushed that they couldn't make me a vodka stinger. not that i talked with a single person today that understood why i wanted one. cretins. i haven't met anyone here who really knows Sondheim. (sigh)

C picked me up and we went straight up to Jeremy and Tara's, except that we were so lost that C agreed to stop and call for directions. he had looked at it on mapquest and thought that he didn't need to print any info out, and that it looked very simple. kinda like a song cue, that. anyway, we played D & D for the first time in about three years, so it was my first time with 3.5 without ever trying 3. so much less math that the convenience had me confused. i rolled a natural 20 twice today, and that's always good now. i enjoyed meeting everyone, and hours flew by. and then after the game folded up i ended up talking to Tara for another hour. as soon as she said she wished we had a Dunkin' Donuts around here, and that Krispy Kremes were disgusting, it was love. we're making a date for her to teach me the ways of the sewing machine while C and Jeremy play with their toy soldiers. yay! they have an active 2 year old. he has a toy chainsaw, and carried around a fire log long enough to spark a spontaneous chorus of the Log jingle from Ren and Stimpy. and then he went to bed, which was even better.

now i am home, and have purchased our Ghostbusters tix for tomorrow. lines at Cinerama are near Top Pot. mmmmmm donuts.

You know, Dogberrie is pretty freaking hilarious, and so are a few of the others. Don't dismiss them all because of Lear.

my dear Snuggles, i actually like the fool in Lear. i am thinking of Tempest, and Twelfth Night, and every time a "low" character is in a comedy. i tend to like their appearances in the tragedies.
