DC is treatin' me right
The week continued with a fun Saturday night. I said before that I've been watching the old tv show 'Freaks & Geeks', and on Saturday I watched some more. I went to my friend's Emily and Anne's apartment (lovingly nicknamed "the frathouse" because it's a dump) with my other friend Sarah, and we had a great girl's night. Chips and dip, snacks, pop, and homemade brownies added to our new fave tv show made for some fun. It also made for a tired Sunday morning.
By Sunday night we were all beat, but luckily MORE drama came to keep us going! As Kirk (another castmember) and I were poised and ready to head onto the stage for the beginning of the show, something strange happened. The lights are up onstage, and then when they go black, we walk into place. This time the lights went black, and as we were about to step onstage, they went bright, and then faded into black. We didn't know what had happened, but we went out and took our places and the show began. The opening scene is mostly in the dark, so we didn't notice anything until the chandelier is supposed to wake up and the scene starts changing into the opening for our opera within the show, Hannibal. The lights came on too bright, with a strange spotlight on early. We all watched from the wings as the light board suddenly CRASHED - leaving us in total darkness. As Carlotta made her entrance they pointed one of the spotlights at her, and away we went. Unfortunately, NONE of the lights were working, except for the two spotlights! We did most of Hannibal in the dark! The spotlights were on the leads, or hopefully on whomever was talking, but it was pretty funny. I loved it when Carlotta got the light, and I had to crawl INTO the spotlight to fix her hem. BIG LAUGH. Luckily, ten minutes later as the scene was ending, the stage was suddenly FLOODED with light. We all blinked and went on with our business, but we secretly LOVED the drama.
After such craziness, I spent most of Monday sleeping. Seriously, I think I woke up at one, read for half an hour, and then went back to sleep until THREE. What can I say - I must have needed the rest! My friend Emily and I were supposed to meet for dinner, but instead we texted each other every few hours, putting it off until we finally confessed that we both didn't want to shower or leave the house. I finally did around eight, to do a bit of shopping and errand running, but I was back at home doing my tenth load of laundry before the night was over. It was actually great to have a day to get organized at home, since I'm leaving in six days!!!
Then on Tuesday, I woke up early to catch a fancy lunch with some friends. Washington is luckily in that wonderful time of the year called "Restaurant Week", where three-course lunches at the best places in town cost $20.07! Brilliant! Kyle, Joelle, Carli and I had reservations at Kinkead's, which might be pronounced kin-kayds, or maybe kink-heads. Regardless, I had an amazing lunch, with mushroom ravioli, amazing crusted salmon, and a bittersweet molten chocolate cake. It was no wonder my costumes felt a bit tight tonight! After lunch I headed out for more errands, shopping till I dropped in honor of another great and seemily coincidental week, "No-Tax Week". How come I'm loving DC just when it's almost time to leave!!??!!
