Weekend redux

It's been a few days, but it's been a mostly uneventful few days. I sang our duet in church for the second and final time, proofread three dissertations, and saw two shows. The first, Is He Funny?, isn't bad, but at least it's free. The other one I saw with Leigh and Ruth tonight, The Ballerina Who Loves B-Boyz. It's pretty entertaining, a fusion of breakdancing, ballet, and amazing Korean hairstyles. I've never seen so many Asians with dreadlocks, nor a guy with spiky bleached hair who could have stepped from Dragonball-Z. One guy had the most amazing abs I've ever seen short of a muscle magazine. The ballerinas cheated a bit, according to Leigh, but the truly popular female dancers of the show were the ho trio, three hot girls in skimpy clothing who shook things at the audience, garnering the unending support of the guy behind us. Afterwards, we went for drinks at the Living Room, where Ruth told me about the show I'm going to try to see tomorrow.

You know, I could see one of several versions of Macbeth or any number of legitimate plays, but this one is called Xenu is Loose! Cower Puny Human as the Dark Prince of the Galactic Federation Rains Atomic Death Once More Upon Your Pitiful Planet - The Musical! With a name like that, you know you have a winner, and at least one Cruise/Travolta joke.

It's got to have a better book than A Shoggoth on the Roof, at any rate.
