I performed lion dance alllll day today. We started with a show at a Vietnamese supermarket. That show was a disaster. Bee & Jason were doing a jumping show, with pots, benches, and everything. They botched all their jumps, and then on the big finale head jump, Jason missed and they both fell off the stacked benches. Bee hurt his shoulder really bad; he was kicking his legs and spazzing/squirming like crazy for about 15 seconds. I was afraid he broke something.
Well, as they say, "the show must go on." So Tom & I head jumped and ate the green. We had to do the same thing for the rest of the day. Man, it felt wrong, filling in for Bee like that- it's like he puts in all that effort to lift Jason, who's really heavy, and gets hurt; then I'm here doing the same trick with Tom, who's really light, and taking all the credit. It just doesn't seem right- the public has no idea how much effort he's put into it, and then they think I'm all good cuz I can do a scaled-down version of the same trick... It's just not right.
*Oh, and my nail that got cracked on New Year's Eve got partially torn off. It didn't hurt though, cuz it was coming off already anyways. Man, seems like I've been getting hurt a lot recently.
