We went to see Les Miserables last night. We went to dinner first with K&M and the four of us went to see it. It was good, but long. Very long. Almost too long. And I think that it has to do with the fact that it is three hours of singing. I know, I know, it's a musical. And that it covers a twelve hundred page novel. And a couple of decades worth of French history. And it did take a while to lay the ground work for the entire play, so the first thirty minutes or so went by slowly. But overall, it was enjoyable. It is nice to get out on the town and not go to a movie or to a bar, but to go see something like a play. It amazes me the job that live actors do. Very impressive.
As I was leaving work yesterday I walked around the corner of the building and came across a few co-workers smoking. Not a big deal, that is where they go, it is out of sight of people coming into the store, so that is good. The one thing that bothered me was that one of them had just had a baby about three months ago. At what point is it okay to smoke when you have an infant? I just hope that she goes outside to smoke or smokes when someone else is taking care of the baby. It all comes back to second hand smoke. People know the danger of it, so hopefully she takes precautions about it.
Brett Favre came out of retirement and was traded earlier this week. For the past month or so, every single sports show that I watch had at least ten minutes devoted to the whole fucked up situation. It just irritated the hell out of me. And it wasn't just me who was irked by it. I talk sports with a few co-workers and their thoughts and feelings were the same. After he got traded, the only thing I thought was 'thankfully we won't have to hear about it anymore.'. To the contrary, sports people are now dissecting every angle of the trade. Who won who lost in the trade. Who will do better as a team, etc. etc. Once again, very irritating. The trade is done, move on people.
