Fringe Reviews, Day 4: Humo(u)r to Heartbreak
Tales... of the Expected!: Like many children, I grew up to bedtime stories and parables; unlike some children, I was also raised to appreciate corny, cheeseball humor and irreverent parody. Tales reminded me of why I loved Fractured Fairy Tales: the dialogue was cheesy yet snappy and the humour was as socially scathing as it was self-deprecating ( Read more... ) -
Nude Fringe Review #3: One-Hundred Minutes of Clothed Torture
Storm Still: There was no instance of nudity in the one-hundred-plus minutes of this "play."
It was also awful, and abject torture to sit through. -
Nude Fringe Review #2: The Problem of Watching Nudity on a Powerpoint Slide
The Problem of the Body: Why is our society ashamed of bodily urges?: Timecodes from lights-down:

51:21 - Man-ass reprise.
It was a pretty boring sit-through, and I wasn't exactly titillated. Your mileage (probably due to sexual orientation) may vary. -

(Untitled)
Same as last year, I will review every show I see at the Minnesota Fringe this year, but I will only post them to my LJ, with links to it from my Twitter updates. I have sent out the warning on Facebook and Twitter, and I will repeat it here: if you do not want me to see your show, tell me now. -

And people wonder why I left Tangipahoa Parish.
Monday evening, I noticed four text messages I received from a number I did not recognize with a 985-area code:
Hey babe
Heyy mehh foxyy ladyy
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Heyyy babee
Yes, I was a victim of sexy wrong-number textingAssuming the problem would resolve itself, I ignored them. I've fielded a few wrong-number calls on my phone since I ( Read more... )
