Early ,'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So there is a brilliant play in the story of a boy whose politician father is brutally and famously murdered in his own office, and then the boy goes on to become an actor and director, and, meaningfully, gay.
However, "Ghost Light", by Jonathon Moscone and Tony Taccone, now playing at Berkeley Rep, isn't it.
Too long, too many threads, too much extraneous material, and far too self indulgent. Should have been 30% shorter.
Ah, well, this is why I go for free.

Ah well. I'm impressed by all the theater you go to, though! I always think I should, and then worry I'll pay money to see something that bores me for three hours.
Speaking of things that bore for three hours...the date was not boring, but it was three hours long (I didn't realize that!). Amusingly, though we went to a place she'd never heard of, when we walked upstairs, there was a table of straight women, and one of them turned to her and was like "....Sara???". Turns out they went to college together. Oh, small world.
Anyway, date was pretty good, she did not seem that short (possibly she had magic shoes). Not sure if there will be a second one...she's kinda drama right now. I was her first OKCupid date, she's still breaking up with the mother of her child (though she said they live in separate places now), it's busy season at her work, etc etc. (These aren't really excuses she made, but things she said that make me go "hmm...")

You should check out some independent theater! It's cheaper AND shorter. And often better. And sometimes I'm in it, if you are here.
Most plays aren't three hours. 90 minutes with no intermission seems to be the popular trend for new plays.
Skipping way too much because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is one of those lovely double Buffista birthdays, of both Beverly as well as Benno.
Happy birthday, Beverly! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Happy birthday, Benno, you big boy! With lots of wishes for your mom, your sister, and all your family!
Happy birthday, Beverly! And likewise, Benno!
Ugh. Woke up at 4 am and couldn't go back to sleep. Finally gave up trying about half an hour ago, with the plan of grading now and magically finding time to nap later.
Happy birthday to Beverly and Benno!
I woke up at 4 AM and went "Crap, I have to be up in half an hour to go to work." Stupid subconscious worried that the alarm won't go off.
Happy birthday to Beverly and Benno!
Happy birthday, Beverly!!

I don't mind that. I saw a couple of Bway musicals on weeknights, and it was always a mistake, sleep-wise. On the other hand, I saw Speed-the-Plow on whatever night they start a half-hour earlier, and was home so early and happy. In short, I can't stay up late.
