The Odd Couple

Original Air Date: 11.19.04
Opening Song: "Something" - The Beatles

Today I went to see NHS' female version of The Odd Couple and I'm surprised to say, it was grrreat! (definitely one of the best I've seen from NHS) That's probably because it was the shortest and quickest I've seen in a while.

Marty stopped by the school to help out and I was relieved to find out that the people who live in his house now actually sent those pictures to him (REF: Since he was transferring schools, I dropped off some Drama pictures during the summer to a vacant house... I didn't know that til a month ago.) He seemed happy so I guess that school's good for him. Personally, I wouldn't transfer to another PUBLIC school all the way down the street (as I've written before, I seriously thought of attending a private school about an hour away... glad I didn't though).

During the play, I was trying so hard not to cough and draw attention to myself, but I had no choice but to hop out of the auditorium and buy a mini-bottle of water. I sat next to Allison and Jen and apparently, none of the actors are happy that Allison's writing the review. I can somewhat understand because she ended up with three pages (front+back) of notes and seemed determined not to like it (which is OK). Jen was hilarious, trying to take digital pictures with a high-tech gadget that obviously wasn't hers.

What did I learn? Everybody's a critic; I really thought the play was going to be a waste of money b/c of the comments from people that had seen it opening night but I went anyway and I was very impressed by everyone. However, the night did hit a low point when some dude mistook me for my archnemesis! I do not look like him!!! I thought about pulling a "When Actors Attack" but he was just a nice old man who made a mistake. I'll let it slide this once...
