i had a bit of a schnickenfurter purple hipopotamous day the other day. caitlin would understand what i'm talking about. you see we went to the drama festival up in strathmore and one of the two plays that we took most definitely should have won. it was a good play! but we lost because the adjudicator (spelling) doesn't like our drama teacher and also because he is a pompous windbag. plus a bit of a horndog. but that's besides the point. anyway. yes. he picked two of the worst plays i've EVER seen. it was so very sad. the one that he picked was a 40 minute MONOLOGUE about the sidewalk and the other one was a play in which there were three people who wandered on and off of the stage for over an hour ranting about this or that, but nothing in particular. that play had absolutely no discernable plot to it what so ever. it was worse plot wise than the play that i was in, Final Dress Rehearsal (which is NOT a compliment..) but yea. the world is against us. so i suppose all we can do is go to red deer to WATCH rather than PERFORM and hope that both Adman and Private Wars FAIL MISERABLY!!!!
