I'm beind and maybe missed that, but are those actually light-up ancient drums? So fun!
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
(I was supposed to be taking a nap before a women's sabre all-nighter. Not happening.)
(US women are 3 of the top 4 in the rankings; 2 of the 3 are old clubmates of some friends of mine. So what if it's the time of year when I don't sleep?)

I know! It pays off that it's a small damn sport -- it's not like we're anywhere near the same league as the top people, but they're all at 2 degrees through clubmates, or refereeing, or coaches we know in common, or whatev. You just don't *know* people in more popular sports in the same way.

Freaky blob birds.
The symbolism in the production is interesting. Idealized and problematic given the politics, but interesting.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I, uh, did math. And, proportional to population, the 15,000 performers would be 73 people in France.

The sparkly green people immediately flashed me on the algae bloom problem in the sailing venues they had just a little while ago.
