Or how to sit there happily not coughing despite having a nasty chest cough!
I went into work today, I was quite late due to staying in bed longer than I should and some minor tube issues. It was an allright day I guess but by the time 6pm rolled around I really was not feeling too well and had decided that I was going to not go to the theatre. The thought of loosing the £25 I had paid for the ticket however annoyed the hell out of me and I made half hearted attempt to see if anyone in the office wanted it. No-one was free. I had decided to go into town anyway and get some comics and see how I felt closer to 8pm. So I got some comics and decided that I wanted to see the show and therefore should go.
However I didn’t think I should really go along and cough my way through it, it just would not be fair on anyone else there. So I had a brainstorm, went off to a chemist. I did mange to get to Covent Garden before remembering there is Boots right beside Tower Records inPiccadillyy Circus. Back to there and one bottle of extra strong cough syrup designed to stop chesty coughs and I’m off to the theatre. I may have perhaps ignore the dosage and had a generous swig before going in, but it worked like a charm. A much smaller swig during the interval also helped greatly.
Got a coffee at the bar, pre-ordered one for the interval and everything was good. The seating space was not too bad, better than the last time and the show was excellent. Both leads were really good…but they had not got muchchemistryy between them. I thought Luke Perry was great, much much better than I was expecting and Aly Hannigan is so so cute! Anyway it was all good, the script was funny, there were some genuine comedy moments and at least one great improv moment at the start.
I have to do more theatre, the two times I’ve been I enjoyed a hell of a lot. Heading off to the theatre promo site in another window now. Fuck me theatre prices are expensive. Couple of possibilities, but not sure I want to pay £30 upwards for em. Couple of cheap options saved in my basket now, including The Dice House for £15, will see what the lads think tomorrow at least one had expressed some interest.
Oh in other news Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller are co-directing Miller’s Sin City. Yay!
I had planned on getting home and going straight to bed, I feel pretty wrecked. However I chatted with my flatmate, started typing, read up the V, surfed for a little and now it’s going on quarter to one in the am. Le sigh, I’ve been typing away at this on and off for an hour now. Not really much to show for that unfortunatly. I do have the excuse of having some computer problems and having to reboot a couple of times. It was quite simple in the end, the reason your modem won’t connect Dave is because one of the two green lights is flashing trying to tell you it’s not ready to connect, just be a little patient…fucker.
Anyway sleep now really does call and to confirm, I enjoyed the hell out of the show and am really glad I went along!
