I just have to write about this experience. I’d seen three Cirques before Kooza: Mystere (bleck), O (interesting) and Varekai (AMAZING). So I wasn’t too sure, given the previous spectrum, what to expect.
This was the first time I saw a Cirque with VIP Tapis Rouge tickets (thank you, mommy!) OH MY GAH. Life is different. The world is beautiful. I still feel decadent.
The food before the show and at intermission is sumptuous. There’s all the wine, beer and champagne you can drink. The staff is unfailingly courteous. You have the best seats in the house.
And, luck of all luck, a clown came and flirted with me DURING the show! Not the pre-show, but actually during the show. He kicked Eric out of his aisle seat, and then sat down and put his arm around me.
“Hi there,” he said.
“Oh hai,” I said back, and I’m positive I sounded like I was five.
He left shortly thereafter, once the King had accosted and then assured Eric. The King made me put my arm around Eric, and then gave me the advice: “Don’t let him go.”
I won’t.
Kooza itself was definitely retro. The contortionists are mind boggling, although my favorite act involved a rotating hamster run. Really impressive.
The music was good. The set sucked (but who cared??)
All in all, a five star experience.
This does not bode well…
Omgah I just about DIED when I read this! I remain an Obama girl, but this is for lulz. Example:
Obama says “let me be clear” » Do one shot
Obama says “jobs” » Do one shot, two if you’re unemployed
Obama says “health care” » Do not drink, you will not be given a replacement liver
Been dreaming about questing through dystopias… I’ll go through some hardships to understand the quest, and then repeat the steps in reverse in the dream.

Spent all day at Disneyland.
Despite having a pass, its charm has not been lost. In fact, I had more fun today than in many of my past visits <3
I haven’t written in any of the three books I’m working on in over a month.
Starting again has been really, really hard.
Harder than it should be.
I feel like a total idiot.
But at the same time, incredibly enlightened.
It’s been a strange night…
