I am all out of ballet and opera tickets. Horror of horrors! I bought about six tickets, and the last ticket was for this past Saturday. Actually, I have a small confession to make: for the past few weeks in a row, when it came time to go to the Opera House to use my ticket which I had already bought, I looked out my window at the cold day in Ulaanbaatar, I looked at my cosy, comfortable bed, I looked back out the window, I looked back at my bed, I considered which piece was being performed, I considered the money I would be wasting (less than $5, in both cases), I checked the schedule to see if I could catch the piece later on in the year, and I dove into bed and placed my covers over my head and fell soundly asleep. Two weeks in a row! Well, now I'm out of tickets, and I'm thinking that maybe if I'm going to pull that stunt very often, maybe I shouldn't buy any more tickets, but noooooo! I love the State Opera and Ballet Theatre. Once I actually motivate myself to leave my apartment and go out into the cold day, and once I actually arrive at the theatre, I love it! I seriously love everything about this theatre! Tomorrow, when the box office opens up, I'll buy maybe eight more tickets... that should keep me entertained until January. And by the way, I really want this painting!
