This weekend I was fortunate enough to get to finally see Hedwig and The Angry Inch live on stage in Lansing, Michigan. Randy took me back to his old stomping grounds and the theater that he was once a part of to see it. It was an extraordinary performance overall, though I didn't much care for the guy who played Hedwig. It wasn't that he wasn't any good, he was in fact very, very into the part. I just didn't like how he played Hedwig off as a ditzy airhead type. I've always seem Hedwig as a strong, intelligent type. Oh well, actor's prerogativeI guess.
I also got to visit a few unique spots around the University in Lansing that Randy took me to. The most interesting of which was a place called "Bubble Island." I kid you not....they serve tea with gummy things in it...yeah...I know...gross and weird, yes? Not at all, it was quite good. I've never heard of the concept before. I had some sort of Blueberry thing with multicolored jelly pieces. It was quite tasty and now I have something new that I like. Now I have to find someplace to get it in Indiana...fuckers...they know it's addictive I'll bet.
Overall it was a fabulous weekend. It was strange for Randy to be back in the town where he used to live with his ex. I know it caused him some sadness and pain. He tried to hide it the best he could, but we all know I can see through that kind of illusion, don't we? I hated it that I couldn't comfort him really. All I could do was be supportive and try to make sure he didn't let the past interfere with having a good time in the present. I even offered to slap around some people that made him feel bad when he saw them. Not that I'd really just randomly kick someone's ass like that, but if he really wanted me too, I would. I'd fight a whole army if I had to just to keep him safe and protected, but he knows that. I know it's all part of his recovery from the shit he went through with Ryan and I'll help him in any way I can, as I've been there myself.
Not much else to say right now other than I wish the laundry would hurry the fuck up already...I'm so ready to go home and take a shower...ugh...
Bom Dia,
