Two Very Enthusiastic Thumbs Up by Lindsay Rush
Today I will be my own best critic / I will give myself 5 stars just for showing up / I will notice every nuanced effort and fine touch / I will applaud the debut performances of new talents / or habits / I will rave about the pacing, the blocking, the lighting, the writing / I will exclaim that this is the best life I’ve ever tasted / I will close my eyes and chew slowly / I’ll give compliments to the chef / and the director / and the artist / and the muse / (me, me, me, and also me) / I will dub myself the voice of a generation / ahead of my time / reinventing the genre / blazing a new trail / a savant / “who knows what she’ll think of next!” / I will insist that everyone see the show / at least once / if not twice / there’s not a bad seat in the house / I will write up the review nicely / unlimited word count / no edits / post it in the Sunday Times / 10 out of 10 would be me again.
