There's Always A Silver Lining

Well, been a while for all... zero readers out there. Don't care, though - I'm determined to increase my readership levels by 100 to 200% [which would still be zero since... ah, nevermind].

Anyway, so I'm going to a one act play that a friend of mine wrote. It could be good - I mean, he's gotten some good feedback and all, but I've got tastes that are, well... different than the peer group to which I belong. So it's going to be an adventure, especially the post-show feedback that I'm sure I'll be prompted. I hope that it's a good show, but I've got to be prepared for the worst. Why? Cause I'm a pessimistic jerk, of course.

Do I just nod my head and say, "Yeah, it was, uh... good." Or do I give him an honest critique? Sure, I could always cop out and shift the blame to the actors and laud his script as Tony-award winning worthy... but what if it sucks? I mean, really, brutally just... "wow" bad? Am I obligated to save the world from further such vacuums of time and just end it? Or do I let it slide, not wanting to upset the balance of friendship...

Ah well, who knows, it could all be moot. I hope it's all moot. Please let it all be moot... Course, if it is bad and I am honest in my critiques there's a chance I won't have to endure the cost of tickets again. Ah, there's always a silver lining...
