Man of La Mancha

I take the LSAT tomorrow. I'm not too worried, but I really wish I had another logic section to practice on. I think my timing will be all off there. Laura called about 5:30 and said that she got out of her test in time and could do dinner (last night she wasn't sure if she'd be done in time). So I picked her up about 6:15 and we went to eat at Mi Ranchito. I've decided that Mi Ranchito is much more expensive at night than it is with its lunch specials during the day. Of course, the crab enchilada I had didn't help. It was okay, but definitely not worth more than a good old chicken or beef enchilada. We got to the theatre with plenty of time to spare. The play ("Man of La Mancha") was okay—kind of short and weak on plot, but much more entertaining than your average movie. And our seats on the floor were fantastic—it's so cool to be that close to the action. The guy who did the Spanish guitar at the beginning, and who led the song "Little Bird" had a fantastic tenor voice. And Sancho, played this round and short guy, had this really high-pitched and whiny voice that just fit the character perfectly. Otherwise, the singing and acting was just sort of average. But it was still fun to watch. I think the story sort of deconstructs itself—advocating the dream but making no argument that dream is ever attainable. Then we went to Leatherby's for ice cream—we had a huge Sundae. Well, I'd better get sleep for the LSAT.
