I'm home.  Got some things to go through and trying to get the crap off the floor and the counter.  First, a little Hawaiian BBQ which is always yummy like once a month or so.  And I guess I should turn the TV on since I'm paying for it.  Oh the joys of living alone!

Okay, I have avoided reading anything about this stupid end of the world thing.  So, who believed it, did people stock up on food and stuff like the last time one of these silly things passed and do people ever admit they were wrong?

I read some reports of people giving away their "worldly possessions"...

The preacher who started this campaign(?) was actually in Times Square earlier - and I happened to be there at 6:00. When the clock struck 6:00, a couple of cheers sounded, and then... Nothing. The preacher spoke to people and the press which was gathered in Times Square. He basically said, "I was wrong."

DUH!!!!

And now I think I'm going to get ready for a good night's sleep. I need it.

Goodnight.

Hooked up the stereo finally.  First thing played. the soundtrack for "Romantic Comedy" - which I always find mostly soothing.

I was sad today to say goodbye to the two very nice ladies who have sat beside us for the last several years. They are a woman about my age and her mother. The mother's health has deteriorated so that they did not renew their season tickets.

But I believe I was quoted today as saying that I thought the show was not as bad this time as last time.

I also think I should learn sign language so that I can understand the lyrics. The sound system is awful. Plus, I had my fingers in my ears, as the sound was deafening.

Oh dear, I'm such a fan of that show, good or bad.  Don't judge me!

Well, Matthew, I didn't like ABBA songs back in the day, so I am sure it is no surprise. Plus, the thought of bringing all the old boyfriends together -- well, that's my idea of a nightmare.

Today, I need to go to work for a couple of hours, then I'm ushering for matinee performance of a ballet version of Peter Pan!

Studio West Dance Theatre is proud to announce the Olympia Premier of the Ballet Peter Pan! Celebrate the 100 Year Anniversary of this magical novel and the fantastical adventure it reveals. All sets and costumes are provided by the Eugene Ballet and are spectacular! The company, Flying with Foy, will be working with us and the dancers will become airborne! The title role of Peter Pan will be performed by professional dancer Avram Gold from the Minnesota Ballet.

I've never heard of Studio West Dance Theatre, so I don't know if they're local.  It should be interesting, though!

Today, I ushered for a ballet version of "Peter Pan," and it was quite good.  It guess it was a local ballet school that brought in the production and their local students danced most of the chorus parts.  I think that Peter (very attractive and quite athletic ;)), Mr. Darling, Captain Hook, Nana and three of the pirates were the only men.  All the rest were played by girls and a couple of women.  I didn't notice any students who were boys.  The set (all drops and a few rolled on pieces) were really nice.  There were about 350 people in the audience and they loved it.

Well, time to think about taking the car to the dealership to be serviced. 

I hope that the price was reasonable.

The best part of ushering today was afterward, when I FINALLY was able to pick up my Kathy Najimy autographs!  On Sunday, February 20th, Kathy Najimy performed at the Washington Center with the Seattle Women's Chorus.  This is what I wrote when I got back:

Last night, I worked concessions for Kathy Najimy and the Seattle Women's Chorus.  It was a great show.  The chorus was pretty good and a lot of fun.  Kathy Najimy was very funny...not a great singer but she certainly performed with great exuberance. :D

This evening Wae-Ling came over and we cooked a zucchini and yellow squash that she picked. I was surprised when she ate some.

and then I wrote:

Quote
I brought a program from [a local production of] "Parallel Lives" (co-written by Kathy Najimy) that I saw the night before and the booklet for the London cast recording of Sister Act to see if I could have them sent backstage for her autograph.  I didn't get to meet her (nor did I expect to) and I also didn't get her autograph.  She didn't sign any and she didn't come out to the lobby after the show.  Our house manager did ask Kathy's manager and he said that if they take my stuff with them, she'll sign them later and send them back to me.  I thought...why not?  So, unless something goes horribly wrong, I'll eventually get my stuff back with Kathy's autograph.

It took three, count 'em THREE months, but my "Parallel Lives" program and CD booklet were sent back and were waiting for me at the theater! ;D

Thanks, Laura!  It was exciting...especially after thinking that I wasn't going to get them back at all!
