zzzzzzzzzz
i am so fucking drained....on empty, really. just ate a box of scooby-doo mac and cheese, and i am still sooooooo hungry. that box was my first meal of the day.....i'm a horrible human being, i know. f'ing mac & cheese convenience.
i bought tickets for Waiting for Godot for spike's birthday this saturday. its running vancouver at the stanley theatre on grandville. in spite of my excitement for procurring these tickets, spike was not. according to him, in my "girlish" excitement i forgot to make sure that it was okay with him before i bought the tickets. i didnt know his father was coming up this weekend, i didnt know he made semi-plans to go out with his friend who was maybe not going to be in town...bah. but his friend IS going out of town now that it is okay for him to go uz i bought those tickets. i bought a ticket for his father just now so all of us can go, but we wont be next to each other at all. not even in the same section. oh well. at least we're seeing the production. spike has never seen Godot performed and he luuuvs beckett, so i thought it was the perfect gift. but we were able to talk about it, and every one is now happy which means the subject is dropped until saturday when we have to drive. i just know that if any little thing bugs spike during the trip, whether it be traffic or the taste of his beer,it will be my fault somehow.
i saw the one at actf, and i guess i would have said then that i would not ever have to see it performed again, but i do not want the images and actors to be the only representation i get. i luuuv beckett too, and if i get stuck thinking about his works the same way each time i read them or whatever, i will feel like a failure as an academic--especially since i want to teach dramatic lit.
arg. that took a while to type. time for more food and a nap.
