F*cking buses, theatre and music

[gothikmaus]

Waiting for the fucking bus for more than 40 minutes isn't the best way to start off the day. Especially when you pay so bloody much for a monthly pass. When the bus finally arrived I told the driver "My compliments for the good service, I've been waiting 40 minutes." And he said "Call our offices next time." At that I replied "Well, they just tell people to wait, I'm not gonna call and be made fun of." And he was like "Well, that's not my problem."

And then they wonder why people prefer to use their own car even if there are always huge traffic and pollution problems. If buses and trams and the underground worked properly, people would be more than happy to use them. Bah, I'm really tempted to start using my bike to go to the underground station now that the weather's getting better.

Anyway, the play last night was very funny, it was the third time I'd seen that company and they always make me laugh. Sometimes the actors started laughing as well, at one point one of them was laughing so hard, he lost one of his fake eyelashes. Yes, his fake eyelashes, because all the actors are men. And most of the characters are female. *g*

Their plays are in dialect and the stories are about life in a small town in Lombardy, there are some elements that are funny only if you actually know the local culture and how life used to be until 20 years ago, but since I know all these things (I'm a small town girl with not so young parents :P) I always find their sketches bloody funny. Also, the main character, an old woman who's quite bossy and makes fun of everyone, reminds me a little bit of my mum. XD My mother's younger, though. :P

The title of the play was "Bu... Come buleta", which can be translated with "B... For broke". The company has a site too, but I can't open it right now because the office firewall blocks it, so I don't know what it's like. Here's the link anyway: http://www.ilegnanesi.it.

And a few pictures as well.

Mabilia superstar


OMG look at that dress! XD



Bah, such a crappy day, the weather's awful. But there is a positive thing: I fanally managed to download the whole 15 Jahre Netto video! YEEEEESSSSS!!!

And one of my colleagues decided I'm gonna be the bassist of a band he's forming with a few friends. o_O Time to start practising seriously again. ARGH! *anxious*

And I want to edit my mood theme! I have pics to add! When will LJ start working again? *prods with pitchfork*

I won't be able to download yet, I have to delete some stuff from my computer again =(

Heh, I'm just listening to Faith no more too ;)

Buses suck. I have the same problem, the underground station is 3 km away from home, I can go there without the bus, but when it was winter, I wasn't really tempted by this XD Though, it seems we have less problems than you with the transports. =X Let's see. I'll go to Lille soon, and we'll see how it'll go. Because of the demos, there may be some trouble (I heard that even Italians came in France to support the French students XD)...
