i'm ashamed

i went to the ballet on sunday night and enjoyed it.

i'm even contemplating season passes to the oregon ballet theatre for the 07-08 season.

it was apart of c's mom's birthday celebration this past weekend.

it was definitely all c's planning on this one. she called me at work on saturday to tell me that i was going to the ballet the next evening.

what?

at first, i was pissed. the freakin' ballet? ballet?!?

then i was like, dude, this is high culture.

then it was, you can start pushing yourself into the portland social elite if you get into the ballet and symphony and so on.

then it was, fuck! i'm going to have to wear a tie.

but after it was over, i dug it. there were 3 sections? acts? dances? recitals?
the first was a classic called "apollo" about the life of the greek god. the second was a weird one about "exploring people's body at play" but it had kick ass music, even if the dances was totally weird. then the last one was ballet set to the music of cole porter, which was cool, cuz it made the ballet change to a musical--which is slightly less gay.

but if i get season tickets, i can even be cliche and see "the nutcracker."
