I saw Cirque du Soleil today with my mother, and then we went to a Colombian restaurant and were all Colombian and shit. Heh heh. The show I saw was Corteo, and, as per usual, it made me cry. It's just so... wonderful. And reading more about Cirque du Soleil and having gone to this show in person (finally, after so many times of having watched ( Read more... )

So I don't have money anymore. But I think it was worth it. I bought two Cirque du Soleil tickets for my mom and me for this Saturday. It was sort of on a whim as well. And they're PREMIUM seats as well. I feel like I'm starting to become that gay guy that is really close to his mother. At least after all the gay guys I've spoken to that talk about ( Read more... )

Of course this was an e-mail written too quickly, but if you want me to tease out any impressions that I got from Japan, I could go on for hours (or pages) about any one thing, so feel free to ask ( Read more... )

The Japanese (the Tokyoites in particular) have DEFINITELY DEFINITELY done it. They've done it! It's all so... efficient. And everyone's nice. Just beware of the effin' Brazilians here that are still in their Brazilian crazed mindset (we found around 6000￥ lying in the floor and they were like MONEY!!! and carried it off, it was a bit scary). But ( Read more... )
