these pants of mine... are always silent.
In my roommate's room, a pair of pants hang over the back of the chair I'm sitting in and I can't stop thinking, "Are these pants mine...?"

Back to Art
I've seen a lot of great art in the last month.
First, I got to see a play I did fight work on called Bees & Honey. When my boyfriend asked me what it was about, I responded, "It's about a relationship, but it doesn't really matter what it's about because the actors are so great you can't stop watching them!". The actors in the show were fantastic and absolutely lovely to work with, and the show was about the ups and downs of a relationship. It was beautiful. We also had a great crew all around. I felt quite fortunate to be a part of it.
Then, I watched American Fiction, which was hilarious, thought provoking, so meta, and so great... I haven't had a movie watching experience like that in a long time. :)
There was also an epic karaoke night for Jessica's birthday, and a mostly missed but beautiful Chinese New Year parade, and then Flatstock 91.
Flatstock 91 was this cool little exhibit of band poster art from around the world (? at least around the country. :) ) where visual art meets music marketing in little booths where artists display and talk about the work that they've done. What a unique and inspiring body of work!
Then I got to see Big Data on stage at ACT. Big Data was topical and confrontational, and a show I will continue to think about for a long time because the ending wasn't clear haha. :) Or was it, and it's still sinking in...
I got in a night with the Waters to see Wilder's all city band concert, and then Kooza!
Kooza is the latest Cirque show touring the Bay and, like all tent shows, it had moments in it that completely blew my mind!! Wow, always a great night out.
And, there was a super fun Oscar party / dance party, a yummy meal at San Ho Wan, an Oakland Roots game, and finally Dune, Part 2, which was very long, beautifully acted, and beautifully shot.

Falling
Producer: That backpack is as big as you are.Me: I know, it's really big.Producer: No, it's like, literally, much bigger than your torso. It's huge.Me: Yeah, and it holds everything... computer, purse, water bottle, cables for everything, multiple sets of headphones, an extra jacket, sometimes over night items... it's heavy.
Co-worker: Did anyone see you fall? Did you look around?Me: I have no idea. No one was nearby, but I didn't really look around.Co-worker: Do you see this (he holds up a small black rubber ring looking thing)?Me: Yes.
Co-worker: So, I saw this over there in the corner and, when I went down to pick it up, I fell right over.Me: What?Co-worker: Yeah, I fell right on my face, just fell right over. But, I popped up and looked around and no one saw me.Me: (speechless confusion face)Co-worker: I'm only telling you this because of the story you just told me, but no one saw me.Me: 😂😂😂

A Visit to the Circus
- Chinese Mexican food is pretty good when you order what you want
- Eating a taste bud exploding flower makes a drink more fun
- Finding the pizza is better than the actual pizza
- If you don't want to be called to stage, make faces or don't look at the host
- Old town is sometimes just old, with a few delightful finds
- There's a lot to see when walking
- The producer in me takes over my mind when watching a performance that's cool but could be done better
- Smell the oysters before you eat them
- Giant Connect Four is nice by a pool
- Okay pasta is still very filling
- Okay Mexican food doesn't matter in good company
- Perfect seats are a gift
- A chef who knows chefs may get a lot of extra food delivered to the table for his birthday dinner
