File under "Life is unfair" - I went to bed early so I wouldn't be tired all day, and ended up waking up in the middle of the night. For two hours. I just can't win for losing right now.
No news is supposed to be good news regarding my father. I'll be calling in again after work.
I have resolvedinto a dew to see Hamlet regardless: Britain's most prestigious players doing England's greatest play is hardly going to be a bad night on the town regardless of my preference for the comedies. If I repeat the mantra enough, I may even feel the truth of it.
I do feel the truth of this statement: If I come back having seen five of the six actors I went to see perform, then I have nothing to complain about.
However, in the "shallow Nea is still shallow" department, I have to confess that if he isn't back in time for me to see, I hope he doesn't come back at all for the run. (Considering that healing properly is THE most important thing so we all have a chance to see him another time, I rather doubt he will be back.) But it would really gut me to find out that he'd returned to the stage just as I returned to America, or worse, while I was still in the town but not in the theater.

Date: 2008-12-11 01:35 pm (UTC)Speaking of surgery - tell 'Shallow Nea is still Shallow' that she's likely to get her wish. (from IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/news/ni0625752/) - he's definitely not coming back until 2009 if then. Having seen the recovery period on this type of surgery before, I'd say they are being very optimistic at even saying he'd be back at that point. It's not like he needs to recover just enough to walk upright, after all :-)

Date: 2008-12-11 11:27 pm (UTC)They keep saying "after Christmas" and the difference between after Christmas and before 2009 is a fine hair to split for someone with a December 29 ticket.
I would not be surprised that they're not saying "he's out" baldly just to keep people from canceling tickets.
Appreciate the thoughts.
