Pants rants.

Sarah: oooh i went to the opera last night

me: yeah ...

Sarah: saw pagliacci

me: ooh?

Sarah: so GOOD

me: how was it?

Sarah: dramatic

emotional

i liked it

4:56 PM me: we went to the symphony today

it was video game scores.

i fell asleep for a few minutes

5:05 PM Sarah: omg, for real

video games?

5:06 PM me: yeah

so it was basically like movie scores.

5:09 PM Sarah: hmmm

was it good?

what was the crowd like?

5:10 PM me: some of it. it was like 2 hours and they covered maybe 10 or 12 games, so it was lots of short bits. kind of obvious-sounding music, nothing mindblowing.

The crowd was ridiculous!

holy crap.

5:11 PM just the clothing -- nerds in suits, a couple girls in full-length gowns (at 1 pm), a high school kid wearing a furry hats with ears and everything, and then some bad harajuku knock-off girls, then someone wearing a black veil and fur cloak ...

5:12 PM plus normal parents and kids, and 20-something men.

Sarah: wow, just as I was hoping

I was mad last night

there were A LOT of people wearing jeans

me: oooh

yeah.

Sarah: and I just got so annoyed w/ seattle

5:13 PM it's like can't you even dress up for a FRIDAY night at the OPERA

me: in know. it doesn't even need to be super fancy, just put on some slacks or something.

What did you wear?

5:14 PM Sarah: a knee length black skirt, pin striped v neck shirt

and a nice coat

5:15 PM lysondra wore black pants

a nice shirt and a nice coat

i would have been ok w/ people wearing khakis

even

but jeans is just too much

me: it always seems so awkward, even for the nicely dressed people, to have no standard dress code.

5:16 PM no one really looks quite right

5:17 PM Sarah:i know, it just bothers me

i just think the opera is something that is formal

especially an evening show

i'm glad to get out of seattle

Lyso told me that she went to this gala one time

5:18 PM for some organization

and it was fancy

and there was someone there wearing birkenstocks

me: woah.

yeah ...

5:19 PM it's not like nice clothing it any less comfortable.

Sarah: jeans can be kind of uncomfortable

me: yeah.

5:20 PM Sarah: But i'm also annoyed by girls in prom dresses

me: yes.

someone needs to come in and give seattle a talking-to.
