Obviously my fraternity brothers were in town

So this weekend I did some things I don’t normally do. I went to see a movie about the hip 1960s art scene in NY called Factory Girl. I always hate seeing movies in which there are no characters I would ever want to hear or hear about. This movie seemed to have 50 such characters.

Saturday night was NYC Ballet at Lincoln Center. There are some things I thought about the ballet:

1) To be in the NYC ballet is a life long dream for a lot of these hardworking talented people. But that means when they are asked what they do for a living they say, “Oh, I’m a ballerina.” If someone ever said that to me I would ask them, “What are you 8 years old? Is your sister a fairy princess?” It just sounds like an unreal profession. Like a guy who goes around the country telling jokes for a living.

2) I find male ballerinas (ballerinos) to be the most feminine men of all time. I was asked, what about male figure skaters? Well, male figure skaters can have bursts of speed where they can expend their ounces of testosterone. Ballerinos have no such outlet. Even when they jump up they must twiddle their toes as they jump.

3) The Ballet should be sponsored by Clorox because there is no place whiter on Earth. Even Klan meetings usually have at least one black person present.

4) I remembered that I wrote a 22 page typed paper in 6th grade on the history and development of Lincoln Center. I got an A+ on the first draft and did not need to write a final draft. Maybe I will donate it to Lincoln Center.

Now I am busy trying to write an outline for an episode of Everybody Hates Chris for my screenwriting class. It’s hard when you are busy catching up on the fashion world and being snooty at the NYC Ballet.
