Last night Lisa and & saw "The Ceiling" at the Walker Art Center. To put it in a nutshell, it was a shitty play (pun intended, as it was about microorganisms living in a crack in the ceiling of a public women's restroom). The play, the acting & the price (a thoroughly wasted $2.00) were rotten. The actors were so self-conscious you could smell it.

After the play we went to visit Sarah B___--she was the same as ever, as far as I could tell. I could feel that my relationship with her has changed. I know that it would no longer be possible for her to use me as she did in the past, & that she has no influence on me whatsoever.

But she said that Fries's mom, Mrs. M___, is in the process of having a nervous breakdown. I think Fries can take it, but I feel sorry for her little sister Beth.

I HATE THE NAME BETH! It sounds like a poached, fat, blubbery, puffy idiot & it reminds me of Beth L___, who's not any of those things but I hate her anyway.

Mother won her suit against Dad, shit. She had a lezzy guest for dinner, & they bragged about how liberated they were as she giggled & batted her false eyelashes. I think Mom is turning toward lesbianism because

1) She can't get a guy.

2) It's the vogue for libbers now, proving that they can do everything without men.
