Shows!

I am probably a bit tired. I fell off my bike about 3 times this morning, and have random stratches/bruises on my legs. I don't really know how I kept falling/wobbling. I feel quite drunk. It's odd! I've not drunk since Saturday and now it's Tuesday. And I didn't drink that much on Saturday, but had a REALLY big hangover on Sunday. It must just be exhaustion. But it's quite good. I don't need to drink! Hurrah! Except maybe caffeine...

I watched 3 shows last night. I shall tell you about them now.

Yeti: An Abomnimusical
I wanted to watch this as the company who are performing it were here last year and amazing. I have to say I wans't as impressed... There were some very good bits for sure, and very good performers. I think the story was just a little too slow and random in places. I will, however, still go and see their other show (they alternate days) as I still think the company is very talented. Ooh, I'm going to do a Pete and rate them! 6/10.

Murder at the Savoy
This is being performed by Edinburgh Savoy Opera (or whatever their "real" title is...) who I often mentiong drinking with. I was advised earlier in the day to wait until later in the week to watch it, but as I came out of the previous show I was convinced. And I am glad. I thought the singing was excellent, and as I'd never seen the show it was surprising. Never a dull moment. But as suspected the professionalism isn't wasn't quite what it might be in a day or two. Still better than I thought from the warnings though! 8/10.

Hey Diddle Diddle...
I wasn't going to watch this one until I heard how good the company are, and if you don't get in their quick, it sells out. I can see why. Amazing performers! Didn't notice a second out of character, and I *think* the only notes that made me cringe were on purpose. Probably not a surprise to hear the story is based on the nursery rhyme. It did, however, surprise me (in a good way) that it was quite adult in content! Whether it was just cause I was tired and emotional, I'm not sure, but it certainly made me think a lot. I felt rather single afterwards! In transition between leaving my parents family and having one of my own. Oh well. Anyway, I'd recommend anyone seeing this theatre company if they get the chance - National Student Theatre Company. 9/10.

In and around the shows I talked to Jonathan Hunter mainly, and Carl and Larissa (Melissa's friend from America too, which confuses me a lot as their names are similar, who is lovely) and Mat (first time PGPer, who is very cute). There were other people, but there're not as good. (There was lots of hanging around as for some reason the shows were running an hour late... Great opening day!)

Tonight I intend to watch a show at 6.20 with Jonathan H before he goes back Southwards. Then I shall see if they want me to be useful for the rest of the evening, as I'm feeling cheeky for watching shows. If they don't want, I want to watch The Macbeth Conspiracy as I heard them rehearsing and the bloke has an amazing voice. Maybe I can help and then watch that and then help again. I think I'll ty to go home and shower first. I cycled in, and just could not decide if I'd have time to go home between work and meeting Jonathan. I think I can make time cause I'd rather have beautiful hair than be sweaty for the rest of the evening.

I've got tomorrow off work! I keep forgetting. It's nice to remember again. I don't even need to take a holiday day, as I've gained enough flex hours. Hurrah!

My phone keeps ringing! Someone's trying to fax me and it's annoying. I am not a fax machine. I am NOT a fax machine. Ooh, Gavin managed to direct it to the fax machine. It tells us that someone has bought $40,000 worth of bonds. Ace. I don't think it's for me.

Ooh! I'm ace. I just got asked to do some work and we were discussing a deadline, and I just kept saying yes when they pushed it forward (I've not got anything else to do!) and now they think I'm amazing. I've got till Friday to do about half an hours work. I'm going to go do it now. Then I'm going to come back and do the reviews of the shows. I want to make it so you have to click to read more. I'm not sure I'm clever enough...

EDIT: Yeah, I'm not!
