V-Day

Was back at Lawrence for the weekend, brought EK along. Went to see Vagina Monologues yesterday because EK had never seen it...it was okay, but not as good as last year's - too many underclassmen overacting. I missed the girl who had the cast on her arm doing the old lady and the Bosnian refugee and Audrey doing the six-year-old girl. The girl who played the old lady last year really had a sort of retiring spinster vibe, whereas this year's just acted like a college student being snippy. To anyone who'd watched last year's, the show most especially lacked Paris doing the various types of orgasmic moans. The kid who was playing that part was really doing variations on the same moan. Paris being a vocal performance major had a better voice to start with, and did much more credible acting various ethnic or class stereotypes. Although Cara's backflip off the chair while doing the "surprise triple orgasm moan" was pretty impressive, Paris' performance was temporarily legendary.

The recent alumni discount: when the student in the box office recognizes you and doesn't realize you don't study there any more so doesn't charge you for a public ticket.

EK shot me a funny look when the girl did the "born-again Christian moan". "I haven't heard that yet," he muttered.
