april foolery
Apr. 2nd, 2009 11:21 amI spent most of yesterday off my guard and getting April fooled over and over again. The NPR segment featuring listener letters about a whale farm had me completely convinced. Horrified, but convinced. In fact, I didn't become suspicious until they mentioned an upcoming segment involving Kindle popup lawsuits.
Tangentially related, this one didn't fool me for a minute, but I liked it a lot.
Thinking back on it, it was an appropriate day to see Cirque du Soleil's Kooza, which also involved a lot of foolery. I think I'm getting over my dislike of clowns. The slapstick humor wasn't all that bad, their body language was fantastic, and I really liked the timing of the jokes. They were actually refreshing. I definitely needed a break after the heartstopping Hamster Wheels of Doom.
