i guess that’s my primary emotion at this time. i have more than a dozen mosquito bites ON EACH LEG, and that’s just FROM THE KNEE DOWN.
that about sums up camping.
of course it doesn’t really, but i have no energy/time right now to write much more.
i’m typing this on my newly re-installed hard drive. i’m missing a bunch of things, and am hoping to figure out how to get them back tomorrow.
i got home in time for the comedy (plays) class. for the last hour, we watched a movie version of “lysistrata.” the film is actually greek, with english subtitles. it’s a little bit bizarre. it was made in 1987, but it looks more like the 70’s. the main character wears lots of makeup and does much singing. i wonder how her career went after this film; did she make it big in greece? is she a greek film star now? hard to say.
in one scene, there were supposed to be lots of wome singing, but in the front were a couple of guys in drag. i don’t quite understand this; it’s not like they needed any fake women, because there were plenty of real ones on hand. and why put them in front? odd.
there have been a few scenes (we only saw the first half tonight) which had a monkey on a leash in them. i hated to see this; it reminded me of going to hear jane goodall speak at UCLA when i lived in LA, and she talked about the plight of apes, and i knew this poor little guy wasn’t treated well.
i tried not to dwell on it.
instead i focused on the many production numbers, which mostly featured scantily-clad greek women dancing around like in “laugh in.” erica said it reminded her of laugh in at the exact same time i thought of it myself. it is very nice that we’re in the class together.
we went to steak-n-shake after class tonight and discussed our respective futures. i suggested we open up an ice cream parlor downtown, but i don’t think she wants to.
something will come along.
ok then,
grace overly tired from lots of hiking and kayaking today plus sunburned and many many insect bites including a bee sting which doesn’t hurt nearly as much as the mosquito bites. more tomorrow.
