One, number 44, "Learn the Workings of Your Average Pipe Bomb," was completed a few days ago with the help of my dad, who apparently made them as a kid horsing around with friends. WAY simpler than I thought. KABOOM!
Next, number 82, "Go to the Opera in a Gown". DONE. This was kindly done by my good friend Conrad, who surprised me with the plan. We went this evening, and saw "Regina" (Pronounced Rejeena, apparently). It was in English, which was handy. The plot generally revolved around Regina Gibbens, a money hungry Southern belle with two equally grasping brothers. They try to strike it rich by investing with a bigshot, but they get finicky over who gets to put in what share... there's more involving a marriage between first cousins, Regina's ailing husband Horace, and the frequent bottle tipping of poor Aunt Birdie, but long story short, it was pretty enjoyable. The women were more impressive than the men, vocally. But my GOD were they impressive. I mean they just filled up the theatre, so clear and so strong... it was truly awesome. AND I got to wear a gown! Given, it was my prom gown, but I thought it looked better on me tonight than it did then. In the picture I'll probably put up with this, though, I don't even really look lik me. My face looks funny. But it's my only proof, and so up it must go, I suppose. I felt really fancy. Everyone was looking. I mean, people were generally dressed up but not GOWN dressed up. It was fun. A woman complimented me on my dress, and I felt pretty special. It was a good, good time.2 down, just like that. Only 98 left to get at :)
