mrs. parker, mr. porter play

 in the evening i went to a play inside the loft literary center building in Minneapolis, called 'Mrs. parker, Mr. porter'. it was about writer Dorothy Parker, and musician Cole Porter. the staging reminded me of the round theater, just down the street a little. first time i recall being there for something that wasn't a loft event, an organization that i am a member of. there was plenty of music in it, and plenty of Dorothy quips. one of them was familiar from the movie i had seen where Jennifer Jason Leigh played her, the one ending with 'you might as well live'. at one point i could tell what happened likely wasn't in the script, it was when an actor had sat down in a chair at the edge of the 'stage' and a drink was spilled. good show, thankful i attended it. the card said it was a world premiere, through 'stage north'. i had seen it promoted at a venue i perform in. i did plenty of chores and errand running before heading to the play. there was going to the post office to mail two letters to family. while there i picked up a sheet of stamps of American revolution battlefields. i tried to print some things at FedEx office but it just wasn't happening, unable to get logged into Hotmail on one of their computers. i didn't like how an employee wasn't helpful at all, claiming it was due to 'caps lock' when it wasn't. i was able to get logged in at home, so i know it had nothing to do with the password i was typing in. i had lunch at Jersey Mike's and got groceries at Aldi. i tried another FedEx and was told, as expected, the issue was too much security that prevented me from getting logged in. i liked how an alternate idea was given- if PDF then send it to one of our printers and make a note of the code emailed to you when it is sent to get it released. after this i went to eat at chick-fil-a. it does remind me of what i have said before- 'don't get frustrated, get smarter' when i am trying to figure out technology issues.
