bitchy_merlinOoooh wow.
These past two evenings have been good. Last night, DC came over for dinner with me and David, and we chilled and stuff. Then we went out to play ball tag*, just like old times, with Grounders and ninja moves (and here I was worrying about not getting enough exercise). It was great! It was fun, laughing and out of breath, clambering desperately over fences, ducking and weaving through trees and overhead beams - good times. My aim hasn't improved any. We also played dodgeball and attempted basketball, only to be rudely thwarted when the ball (made of foam) refused to bounce. Gosh.
*while the majority of people my age are getting drunk or otherwise intoxicated, I'm playing tag. I sometimes think I have the better end of the deal, tbh.
And then tonight, I saw Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream in High Park, with F. It was amazing! I've never been, so I expected it to be all serious and boring - but no! A kind of modern adaptation: music and dancing and awesomeness. So good, I don't have a favourite part. Why have I not seen this before?! Alas, it only runs until the 31 of August. It was hilarious and really well put together - you could really tell all the actors were having fun, and, of course, the audience loved it. During the play within a play thing, I couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard! Definitely, definitely, definitely, if you are ever in TO in the summer, this is something you MUST see. It was just... fantastic!
