I like my internet! I like it regular and fast. Kind of like…but so… it has been neither so far. Yes, I am happy to have internet included in my rental of the PR Palace. I am EXTREMELY appreciative!!!!!! However…the palace is more expansive than the range of the wi-fi router and this has been a bummer. I don’t like to be teased with things I know I can have! SO…today, Brittany and I FIXED that problem. Basically, we just got signal boosters that work like a phuqing charm!!!! Weeeee! We can sit in our ROOM and do web-y things! Talk to friends and family without borrowing someone else’s room or hoping no one walks in on us in the livingroom. YAY!!! Today was a GLORIOUS day!!!
A *TOAST* to internet access! …and absent friends…
AND it seems that once I return to the land mass I call home…I will be an official Grad-U-ate!!! As long as I can email the paperwork to the people it needs to get to and things beyond my control are in order. It’ll only cost me $55! With that piece of papyrus and $4.50…I can get a Mocha (peppermint…it’ll be the holidays) at Starbucks!!!!
Yesterday afternoon, we went to see THE FORTUNE at the Alexandrinsky Theater. Maybe it was called Happiness…or The Blue Bird. I’ve tried to google it and come up with all those names. It’s a children’s show unlike what WE would think of as a children’s show because it was kinda dark and a little scary but as a nerdy adult, it was AWESOME! Because we were sitting in the last row in the center section it was easy for me to take some pics. They might be a little blurry but I was trying to be a little bit covert.
MY take on it is that it was a story of 2 kids (boy & girl) who’s mother was about to have a baby, the kids got freaked out when mom was taken away in an ambulance. Their babysitter was a dream fairy-type and they had nightmares about what would happen if their mother died. There was comic relief by 2 guys dressed as dogs and a girl dressed as a cat. The girl did some wire work cuz…cats are crazy and jump and pounce and crawl out super high windows… And the LAST scene is the kids understanding what was going on and picking the baby out. Mom comes home and everyone lives happily ever after!
There are only about 22 ballets and 46 operas we’d like to see in the next 3 months…we’ll see how many we can cram in.
