Pachyderm mourning
It's a damn shame when elephants die?or any animal. But elephants in particular. I guess it's because of their calm demeanor and disposition. Or maybe it's because they way they sway their trunks back and forth, nearly hypnotizing us. In any case, the San Francisco Zoo is under fire because of their second dead elephant this month, which has raised issues about whether or not it's humane to shave 20 years off an elephant's life to keep them in captivity. They live to be in their 60's out in the wild, but only to their 40's while in zoos, which increases a bit if they live in a wildlife sanctuary.
Temps have soared over the last couple of days, even inching into the 100's. Which is fine if you have air conditioning. It sucked when we had our final performance of "Room Service" on Sunday. If you didn't see it, you're lame and you can read the rave reviews here. There's a possibility of being nominated for a BATC award too--either for the whole show or for my performance. God forbid I should actually win it.
