So I saw the hypnotist show last night. Everyone was saying how if you only go to one show, go to that one. They were right. I almost decided to skip it and do something else because studio 55 really tired me out the night before but I ended up going with JJ.

He reminded me of a car salesman. He talked really fast, hardly seeming to breathe. Every sentence was like a constant stream, without any pauses. He piled about 20 people onstage from the audience into chairs. He made them go into a “meditative state” and some of them actually fell over in back or off their chairs. It was at this point that people in the audience started to pay more attention.

It was the greatest thing when the hypnotist singled out this big football player type guy. He gave him a rubber float around his waist and a whistle. He told him that he was a life guard and that he was really angry because someone was peeing in. later on in the shoe he said his “key word,” water. The guy shoots up, super pissed off and stars screaming at everyone. This might not have been really amazing except that this was really out of character for this guy. Also, he seemed really embarrassed and confused when he was woken up, looking out onto all these faces.

The whole show just got raunchier as time went on, which actually made me feel a whole lot better because if a catholic school can do stuff like that, maybe I’m not in such a bad place after all.

I felt better also because yesterday I saw some familiar faces at Japan town. It was pretty easy to all get there too. That really brightened up my day.
