Saturday nite I went to see an Oscar Wilde play called Salome at the Wadsworth Theatre. I got dragged to it by the roommate who didn’t want to go by herself. Yes, this is the same roommate that two weeks ago called me the biggest jerkass she’s ever met. Bigger than the ex husband that stuck her with two car leases than ran us (I say us because I helped pay them off) over $1,000/month for five years. Who the hell leases a car for five years? Smaller jerks than me apparently. Don’t even get me started on the back taxes (which I didn’t help with).
One of the cool things about living in L.A. is you can go to just about any play at just about any playhouse/theatre and see Hollywood stars up close and in person. The star of this show was Al Pacino. However there were a few faces you’d know if you’re a big tv watcher. Geoffrey Owens, who played Alvin (the oldest daughter’s husband) on The Cosby Show was in it. It was directed by Estelle Parsons who was Roseanne’s mom on Roseanne. Also Roxanne Hart, who I recognized, I just didn’t know where from…turns out she was on Chicago Hope.
Anyway, the play was pretty good. I’m not sure if it was supposed to be a comedy or if people were simply laughing at Al Pacino’s lines because they were in awe. There was one part where I think he forgot a line and he improvised. That was funny.
In other news I rode 15 miles today. It totally sucked but it was nice to get out. Overall it was a good week on the bike. Next week should be even better.
