even nerds should get out once in a while

Last Friday I went to the Fox with dramawench to see the Alvin Ailey dance company.  I saw them almost ten years ago when they came through Athens and I only had to pay $5 as a student (man, why don't they have cool things coming through the university now?).  They happened to be celebrating their 50th anniversary this year and even though they have different choreographers now, they always always perform Alvin Ailey's piece Revelations at the end and it is wonderful.  Modern dance paired with gospel hymns like "Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel" and "Fix Me Jesus."  I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't believe in God but some of the most beautiful things in this world are dedicated to him.

I had to cut my fun short and go back to Athens to work on my paper, but I did get to see dramawench 's super cute house that's near the FOX and then I told her my idea about being the guy who buys tickets for people so that they can side-step all those ticketmaster fees.  You could make a fortune!

Third roommate moved out, and we have scheduled a thorough cleaning of the house this weekend to exorcise the demons.  But the economy has left my other roommate anxious to find a new roommate.  Mostly so it won't cut into his drinking budget.  I said it.

Otherwise, the semester keeps trotting along.  And I might have a thesis topic, but let's not jinx it.
