Alex is a dog!



Alex and I were at a rehearsal for Hamlet. Each of the actors had been asked to lead the warm-ups with some sort of new activity or exercise. Normally I make it a habit of showing up late and skipping the warm-up activity because I don't do the 'love-your-castmate-hold-hands-like-a-faggot-group-cooperation' activities very well. Nevertheless, I was present for this one. It was Alex's turn. It is important to note that most of the large cast was female. Alex very casually instructed everyone to stand in a circle and shake their arms out. I could see a twinkle in his eye so I decided to put out my cigarette and go stand next to him. He then instructed everyone to close their eyes and to stretch their arms out in front of them. Keeping eyes closed, he then told everyone to stretch their arms back and try to touch their elbows behind their back. He and I were the only two with our eyes still open and he flashed me a sly grin. There is nothing quite so glorious as a room full of oblivious, scantily-clad women standing in a circle with their eyes closed and their bosoms pushed out towards you like an offering to the gods. After several quiet minutes, each of the ladies slowly opened their eyes to find Alex and I standing with eyes wide open and large grins enjoying the view. Like I said, Alex is a dog! I love you man.
See you in hell.
Shakes.
