Met this lovely blue alien yesterday.
Although she wasn't blue at the time.
She's in a sci-fi show called "Farscape" and her name in the show is Zhaan.
She is a friend of Elma's and we all went off to watch a musical called "Parade" at a big theatre in downtown LA reminiscent of Artscape in Cape Town. We watched the matinee with every person over 80 in a 50km radius which was sorta entertaining. The blue lady seemed nice at first but then she started squeezing my cheeks and speaking in a really high pitched voice and calling me her little witchdoctor. Then the friendship ended.
The show was about a jewish man in the 1920's who gets accused of killing a 13 year old girl who was working at his factory. You know. Just your average topic for a good musical. You never really know whether he actually did it in the end or not and although the show was well produced and the actors were good I just didn't care about the story at all. The one guy from Greys Anatomy was in it, TR Knight. He irritates me on the show and he irritated me in the musical. Conclusive evidence that he is just fucking irritating.
Then I moved out of Hotel Andre, into Hotel Francis and swiftly on to the next theatre experience which was going to see the one and only Mr Pieter Dirk Uys in a show called "Elections and Erections". The venue was tiny and intimate and nothing as glamorous as the first. There was only a smattering of people at the show, maybe 30 altogether and mostly ex-pats. When he came onto stage my heart almost popped and my body started shaking. A tear quietly rolled down my cheek.
That's when it dawned on me.
I think I'm homesick.
