Thursdays Thoughts:
Tonight I watched Spring Awakening. I liked it. Not loved it or anything like that, but I did enjoy it. Especially the punk-ish song moments. That probably has something to do with the school boy uniforms and punk rock concert-ey bits. Either way, I really enjoyed those bits. Oh guy who played Morris, you're awesome. Back to the point: I enjoyed it. My family, not nearly as much. Haha.
Didn't I feel young giggling and grinning at some of the more ridiculous sexual moments. Masturbating on stage? Highly amusing. Why? Probably because I'm immature. Who knows. But I could tell my family was not nearly as amused. Why? Because they're all 40+ probably. Turns out half of them didn't even understand what was going on. Disappointing really, play had a good moral (of which they had no idea).
Side note: I enjoyed the lovely "SEX MAKES BABIES?!?!?" moment. Yeah yeah, I know. It's a serious moment, and key to understanding the play, but really, I can't be the only one seeing "SEX MAKES BABIES?!?!?!?" all over that girls face. Hilarity and disappointment in the system all at once. You know it's a good play when it manages that.
But outside of the play, there was the fog. Outside I mean. It hovered in the sky, coating the tops of Atlanta's skyscrapers. It was beautiful. I don't know why, but I almost enjoyed looking at the foggy skyline more than the play. Hell, I might have truly enjoyed it more. Something about it just connected with me. I can't remember if I've ever seen anything like that. If I have, it must have been before I could appreciate stuff like that. But appreciate I did, and I'm still enjoying the thought of it.
