So the heat is back on.
A mouse found its way into the trap.
I made it to the camera shop and got lots of good stuff for my trip: a pair of binoculars, a zoom telephoto lens, a wide angle lens, a tripod, and some batteries and film. Yes, I shot digital in Thailand last summer, but I'm shooting film SLR on this trip. I want to be able to get the close zoom shots that the 500mm length on the telephoto will give me, and I hope the second lens will give me some great landscape shots. We'll see in about a month and a half...
And I went to see "Caroline, Or Change." Has anyone reading this seen it? If so, did you actually understand it? I thought it was beautiful and somehow haunting, but after it ended, I turned to the women sitting next to me (I went alone to the show, as per usual), and asked them if they understood it. No dice. So please, tell me please, what does it mean?

I think the *staging* is brilliant, but the show itself is middling at best.
I think they were trying to create a tapestry about changing times rather than come up with a single coherent idea (not a bad idea, it worked for "Company"), but I don't think any of the parts of the tapestry were compelling.
maybe im just a bitch.
