Noble visits
Time to catch up on a little of that backlog. Imagine back, way back to the 1st November 2006. As those who attended the Halloween party will I'm sure reiterate, a difficult task indeed considering the night before. I wake up blue, not emotionally I'm pleased to say, but more physically. Luckily, bodypaint washes off easily and somehow doesn't rub off on the sheets.
Late afternoon I'm about awake and then Gohan and I are off to see the magical comedy of Ross Noble. Now I'd not seen much of his work beforehand, but what I had seen I'd liked. What better reason to go? Anyway, so we're sitting on the balcony waiting far too long for the show to start. My mind begins to wander, as it often does, and I got to thinking about the episode of Dr Who I had watched a few days prior (the one with the Devil at the bottom of a well on an asteroid). There was a scene where the Doctor is standing, teetering even, on the edge of the inky black abyss. He stares into the darkness, desperately searching for some sign of life. Some sign that the pit did not last forever. He then said something to the tune of "It's human nature really. That inquisitive mind, always searching. Then need to discover is so primordial that you can't help but want to jump, just to find out what happens."
.....well. Sitting at the edge of that balcony had me feeling like that. I reckon I could have made it. Luckily however Gohan talked me out of it.
Time refused to budge. It sat there staring us in the face, waiting for us to blink first. I refused. In fact, as an act of defiance I created a game. To begin with we started looking for people we know (as we had expected Meadow Vole to also be there). I then realised that I was indeed losing that game rather rapidly. I had no choice but to kick it up a notch. I began looking for people that looked like people we know. I rule at that game.
Having successfully defeating time and making him run home to mamma, the show started. There were so many bizarre and random anacdotes, so many of them ended three jokes later, some not until the encore. It was a great show. Well worth the wait :)
