Feb. 3rd, 2002 12:48 pmYesterday was quite interesting.
Shakespeare and Company performed their final dress rehearsal of Macbeth for us - and for free, too! It was really well-done, of course - that being one of the few Shakespearean plays shoved down my throat over the years that I enjoyed.
After that, Game commenced. Everything went fine until:
a) Jake cheated and started his team before we got the go.
b) JW scratched up his hands something awful on the pavement/bushes
c) My foot broke the ice on the edge of the lake and soaked part of my jeans and my boot.
d) Jake and Ashleigh, being the dicks that they are, called security on all of us, even though we weren't doing anything wrong. Matt Landa bitched us all out, and then Luke and I ran out to go tag what was left anyway.
We won. :)
Going to town in ten minutes or so.

In the beginning, God created the Earth and he said, "Let there be
mud."
And there was mud.
And God said, "Let Us make living creatures out of mud, so the mud
can see what we have done."
And God created every living creature that now moveth, and one was
man. Mud-as-man alone could speak.
"What is the purpose of all this?" man asked politely.
"Everything must have a purpose?" asked God.
"Certainly," said man.
"Then I leave it to you to think of one for all of this," said God.
And He went away.
