Went to see "Black Milk," playing at the Studio Theatre, on Thursday. The play is set in post-communist Russia and portrays the life of two swindlers in a small town's train station. The scenes represent the conflict between good and bad human nature. I'm not sure if this makes me a bad person, but at the end for some reason I wanted evil to win. Perhaps I'm just tired of formulaic happy endings. To find out which side won, go see the play: I recommend it!
Friday night a group of us saw Hotel Rwanda, yet another work that depicted the dark side of humanity. We had a discussion after the film about what the international community should do in ethnic crises. If refugee camps are at all similar to what the movie portrayed, then I would recommend packing in vulnerable communities into defensible camps. With a limited amount of civilian targets, perhaps the two armies would be more receptive to negotiations.
Saturday night was a Mardi ("It's-still-February-so-we-can-still-celebrate") Gras party at Leslie's. Over 70 people were there and YoCo and CJax happened by (more or less) randomly. I performed some "services" for Emily involving ice cubes, which earned me some beads.
And today I procured a new blue suit!
