"Jest for Laughs"

Again today, I got to see the Northern Lights Festival play that was showing at my theatre, "Jest for Laughs". It was mostly visual humour - not mime, because it had dialogue and some monologues, but visually oriented skits. My favourite was the part in which four people became two bikers and two bikes for them to ride. And they rode them.

Otherwise: a beautiful day. Not really eventful, but pleasant. I'm making my ayurvedic supper of rice, lentils, cilantro, leeks, and asparagus. The birds are chirping happily behind me, and best of all - I have some time to write.

Cappuccino

Smallville Dodecal #14 for svdodecals (144 words): "Lex decides to get away from it all for a day or two. Maybe alone, maybe not. What does he do?"

Cappuccino

The Via Veneto in springtime was always magnificent. Lex sat at a sidewalk cafe? with today's "La Reppublica" beside him, and a cappuccino aromatically steaming.

Life was good. Rome was good. So was girl he'd slept with last night.

He thought he saw Clark out of the corner of his eye. Clark Kent, here in Rome? No. A second look made him realize his mistake: someone older, more ordinary, similarly large and dark-haired.

He sipped the cappuccino, and tried to forget the illusion. Life was beautiful, bella, bellissimo.... But there was no one to talk to about it. No one who would listen with those wide, dark eyes, enjoying it with him.

Life was boring without Clark. For the first time ever, Lex was homesick, and not for a place.

He flipped open his phone. "Maria? Check on the flights going home, would you?"

Or maybe a lot of Lex-type loving. That's the way it ought to be.

What classic pin-up am I?

I blame this one on sffan

Now, I don't think I ever heard of Lili St. Cyr before, but I like the name. I like that bit about 'drama and flair', too, and maybe even being on top. Hmm.

I wonder if she was a redhead.
