Friday - I watched the Dark Knight for the second time as a part of FilmSoc. Since I'd already seen it once, I just decided that I'd stay until I got bored and then leave. But I never got bored. I liked it just as much as I did the first time. Why was this not nominated for Best Picture?
I also found out that I got the role of the villain in the upcoming play. So, woo!
Saturday - My roommates and I went to Australian Mardi Gras. Unlike actual Mardi Gras, this was held on a Saturday, and was essentially a glorified gay pride parade. I had never been to a gay pride parade before, but I'm not a big fan of crowds, nor parades for that matter. And whereas Mardi Gras invokes images of everyone drunk and dancing amongst the parade, everyone was just drunk and standing tightly packed to the side to watch the parade. I got very sore from standing in the same spot for 4 hours straight.
Afterwards, as we were leaving to catch a bus back to campus, some small fight broke out across the street. As people ran across the street to observe, I noticed that a bus was driving around the corner at full speed, just as two people ran right in front of it. I had never witnessed anyone coming so close to injury before in my life, so my body involuntarily shouted "Watch out!" as if that would do any good. Even if they had heard me, they would've stopped and turned around and gotten hit anyway. Fortunately, the bus stopped in time, with neither of the people any the wiser that their lives almost ended.
My heart was in my throat the rest of the night.
Sunday - I had a read through of the script for the play. There's a girl who also made it in the cast and plays the female villain. We auditioned together, and she was the first person who made me feel comfortable acting in this new land, so I'm glad she also made it. Everything is big and over-the-top (it's written that way). I get an eyepatch.
Sorry there isn't as much interesting stuff going on quite yet.
