Happy birthday zoje_george! I hope everyone gets the memo, and treats you with the respect you deserve (cats included). And that there is cake.

Fringe Day 5

All right, I give. Summer wins; I am defeated.

Last night I tried once again to go see Tales From Another England. This time when I got down to the theatre there were tickets left, but there was also a sign that said 'NO AIRCONDITIONING'. To which I replied 'Fuck this shit' and took myself for sushi dinner. I'm sorry, but it was so hot yesterday that I thought I might fall over just from crossing the street. I am not shutting myself in a closed theatre for an hour without airconditioning. From now on, it's cold venues only.

Luckily, my second show of the night was at a perfectly decent theatre.

In Trousers

I love William Finn. LOVE HIM. This is the first production of any of his shows I've seen, though - they're not done that often. Anyway, the show was great. Marvin was exactly right physically and vocally; the three women were stronger in the trio parts than individually, but they had great stage presence and I enjoyed it immensely. Recommended!

Let's pretend this is the last time I'm going to talk about how hot it is, okay?

There are people out there (you know who you are) who are TOO AFRAID to complain about the hot, hot summer we're having, in case the weather gods take revenge by starting winter in September.

Babies.

I am not afraid! I will stand up for all of you in saying:

SHUT IT WITH THE BLOODY SWELTERING WEATHER!!!

circe_tigana very nicely informed us that it was hotter in Toronto than in Bombay yesterday. NICE. And, oh, look, it's only going to get hotter today and for the rest of the fucking week.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I just want to stop being covered in sweat from the moment I step out of the shower. And I wouldn't mind being able to sit down without having my legs suction-cup together. And is it too much to ask that we actually get to do summery things in the summer, like go outside?

Ok, weather gods, strike me down. I'm ready for you.

Also, I would like all tourists who think of Canada as one big igloo to come visit me this week. That'll put marzipan in your pieplate, bingo.

I just noticed that two more of the shows that I wanted to see are in the evil venue from last night.

Summer is killing my fringe experience!
