all that and he can dance, too

Tonight I went with leftofcenternyc, sternel, and the ex-boy to see Dule Hill in Dutchman Off-Broadway. It's essentially a two-person play, and the theater was small and we had third row seats. Dule was....right there. Maybe twenty feet away. And at the end of the show he gets carried out of the theater so for a moment he was even closer, heh. The play, by Amiri Baraka, was an expression of racial rage that I am sure was extremely powerful and shocking in the 1960s when it was written, but feels a bit dated, now. But there's a good 15 minutes of nothing but Dule screaming and pacing and being a fountain of pure rage, and it was extremely cool to see him let loose like that. Certainly the kind of performance I've never seen from him before. And, um, he looked really good. Hee. Anyway, very glad I got to see it.

Came home and watched Gilmore Girls, which I thought was fairly good tonight. I'm so glad that after wanting to punch Luke in the face for most of last season I am back to loving him again. Now I just want to punch Christopher in the face instead, which is preferable for me. ;) Lorelai's letter almost made me cry. Also, I love how the principal from 90210 is in every show on the planet, and I always think of her as the principal from 90210. I can just see her in my mind's eye, chewing out Steve Sanders.

intopolitics did an all-Bradley version of the ABC meme, and if you haven't seen it yet, you should, right here.

I am so behind on responding to comments, for which I apologize. Hopefully tomorrow. And there are far too many people on my f-list who are sick or slowly recovering from being sick. Feel better, people.

I always thought his best moment on WW was when he slams the punk to the wall for calling CJ a bitch in "20 Hours". So I'd suffer through live theater for that.

It was pretty damn cool. Plus, the play was only an hour long, so minimal suffering.
