cheerful... that is the question.
Just heard about a 'fire ballet' performance of Romeo and Juliet at The Crucible in Oakland. Apparently it is truly an awesome spectable.
Some comments from a friend/colleague:
-> (12:15) From damien, to ba: - Saw a ballet performance of Romeo and Juliet last night at a place in - Oakland called The Crucible. Fire ballet, to be precise: Tangoes where the - women carry flaming fans and clutch burning roses in their teeth, sword - fights with freshly-forged swords still glowing cherry red, explosions, and - so forth. Not to mention the boxer Montegues facing off against kung-fu - Capulets. All in all, pretty snazzy. -> (16:18) From damien, to ba: - That review mentions what was my favorite effect: The prince first appears - on stage wearing a skirt with burning flames at its hem. He spins across - the stage for a good couple of minutes, with the flames whirling in a - constant sinusoidal circle around him at hip height. Every once in a while - he stops and reverses his direction of spin and the skirt briefly wraps up - around him before flaring out again. As it does, the flames compress - together and become a single bright ring. Really, really impressive.Problem is, the run's almost up. Last two performances are tomorrow (sold out, would've been $50-55) and Saturday ("VIP gala performance", $120). The question is ... whether to spend $120 per ticket?

contemplativeI've been enjoying a number of fun, amusing and/or warm-fuzzy videos over the past few days while kicking back and relaxing in Ireland (not to say that we haven't been rushing around and busy some of the time, but we've had some relaxation time for once, which is certainly nice).
cheerfulI posted my first video to YouTube! Wow! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTiV2Dkp

bouncyPhotos from the Browncoat Ball, 2006
The following is a collection of links to photos from the Browncoat Ball posted by a whole slew of people (including me!), since this is easier to keep track of than hundreds of e-mails. :) I know ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
waywardbound said he'd post a list on browncoatball.com at some point, but I can't find it yet, so I don't know if it's up yet or not and, well, maybe he can use this list to help populate it. :)
happy/tired/sickTwo of my left toes (big toe and toe next to it) hurt. Enough, following their unintended meeting with one of the steps of the stairs up into our apartment, that we went to urgent care and had my foot x-rayed. Apparently nothing broken, but they may have missed a hairline fracture, or that's urox's theory. They bloody hurt.
P.S. The Browncoat Ball rocked! Met friends old and new, and danced a fair bit, including at least three instances of Congress of Vienna.
