life lessons episode 1

Thursday, I learned it is important to go see shows, even when they are not the world's most amazing shows, especially if you've been given free tickets. "Talk Radio" is okay. It's super Bogosian. Liev Schrieber was excellent. I know a kid in it, from a tiny production of Marat/Sade I saw, and from friends at Fordham.

Last night, I learned when everyone is coming down with the Nei-Plague, although your better judgement says "Stay home, don't tempt fate," if you take it easy enough..."300" and a hookah bar won't do you any damage whatsoever. In fact, Turkish tea, loads of Middle Eastern dancing, and shouting "SPARTA!!" as you rotate the Astor Place cube will actually IMPROVE your health.

This morning, I learned two new words:

RABBLE and BRIGAND.

Never let it be said that "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" wasn't an education.
