socks, skis and peer gynt
Mar. 2nd, 2008 09:01 amyesterday was great if somewhat tiring.
i slept a lot. A LOT.
got confident with knitting socks on circs, went cross country skiing (not far because i started to get sore pretty quickly, but i got a good workout), went grocery shopping(badly needed), put everything away, showered, helped ross load a mitre saw into my backseat for scott to borrow, and went out with ross, scott, heidi and the girls to see peer gynt at the guthrie.
i liked the show. it was a lot like eating overcooked squid. not entirely pleasant, but extremely interesting, and so chewy that you have to work at it til it's digestable before you can swallow it. some parts were really funny, and it certainly wasn't a doll's house....but ibsen did something i'm beginning to recognize as typical of him. he feeds you a lot of seemingly meaningless frivolity and then turns around and deepens the meaning so thick it takes a while to understand it all in the last 10 minutes of the show. i need to look up the last words of the play, because i missed about half of what the actor said and i think it would add even further to my perceptions what ibsen was trying to say about women completing men and it's impact on our final reckoning.
i got to breifly see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
planetjake during the intermission, which was great. i wanted to go out for drinks, but i'm still feeling so tired from being ill....that and i really need a lot more b vitamins in my diet.
anyway,( heres some knitting stuff for those who are interested. )
