Jesus Christ Superstar Program CoverJesus Christ Superstar Ticket

  Sunday, November 22
  Well, this was the second time I got to witness a performance of Xavier's rendition of Jesus Christ Superstar.  I must admit, it was better the second time around, despite Jesus' bed falling over and the subtle hints of the actors' tiredness.  This time around, I also took with me a more discriminating audience- my aunt, who has seen Jesus Christ Superstar performed professionally; my mom, who loves the soundtrack and the movie; my uncle, who sat through the entire performance mouthing the words; my father, a Vietnam vet himself who thought the play was 'interesting' and that probably doesn't mean in a good way; my severely ditzy cousin, the same one who didn't want to leave my dorm during Family Weekend; and lastly, my cousin Chris, who insisted on wearing a UC jacket and baseball cap to the play.  Oy vay.
    The play was better, technically, obviously, as all the kinks had been worked out since opening night.  The actors themselves were tired, understandably, and it showed.  Judas put in a less enthusiastic performance than the first time, but, somehow, I can't blame him for not being overjoyed at betraying Christ for the eighth time.  Overall, I enjoyed it immensely, and so did my relatives, except for dad, but, he's a conservative, so, what did you expect?
    Also on Sunday, my roommate moved out.  I came back to the dorm to find the majority of her stuff gone.  My parents helped me move around the room and now I'm in Amy's space.  The room looks awfully barren and I need to get at least another poster to put on the wall.  I also had to go out and buy a new phone, a new white board/tack board, scrub brush, and various other little odds and ends for the room.  The upshot of this is is that I don't have a roommate for awhile.  I seriously don't mind that.  Now my computer is allowed to make noises and I can take a nap whenever I damn well please.  Yay!
