Awaiting my fate…with the BART Dreamgirls
Jul 1st, 2008 by dino-ray
Why do I feel like vomiting? This lay-off scare is too familiar. It’s like having a monthly case of chronic diarrhea. You know it’s coming so you wait for it, anticipate it, let it pass through and then move on.
But whenever I feel down, I think about my BART ride back to the East Bay from Pride on Sunday afternoon. Whilst I was reading my copy of “Tweak” by Nic Sheff, the car was packed with people. I was kind of annoyed with all the noise, but then I was delighted to hear a group of girls reenact this key scene of “Dreamgirls”:
Okay, they didn’t reenact the whole thing, but they were wildin’ out singing “Heavy Heavy” and it brought a smile to my face because I am obsessed with this diva scene. I find odd hilarity when Effie (Jennifer Hudson) gets all fussy and then storms out of the room after her bellowing voice of authority drowns out Deena’s (Beyonce). It’s so SASSY! And as we all know, SASS pushes all the GRUMPIES away!
