1. Tell you why I friended you
2. Associate you with a song/movie
3. Tell a random fact about you
4. Tell a first memory about you
5. Associate you with an animal or fruit
6. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you
7. In response, you MUST spread this disease in your LJ.
And, on a totally different note, I was making a character playlist this afternoon, a mix of period and modern music, and discovered that Mary (we named her that when we needed something to say in the wedding vows, in case I haven't mentioned it yet) would be a huge Evanescence fan if she were living now...

COME.
TO.
DRACULA.
I actually don't know how it's ending yet. So that should be interesting. :)

Suddenly have an urge to make all new userpics. Don't know when I'll have time though. [Edit. One new one. Can you find it?}
Shakespeare Competition... we had the meeting today, now I just need to get the feeling back into that piece. I haven't worked on it enough since December... not sure if that was because Dracula started or because that woman was kind of a pain about it.

Why does Tranio have almost 300 lines? (Katherine has a bit over 200. Petruchio has just under 600.) Why did I not know that Tranio has 300 lines? How are these to be dealt with?
So, the plan is an 90-minute to 2 hr (I want 2 hr but told them 90 minutes so it didn't seem like I was biting off way more than I could chew right off the bat, and also if I aim for 90 I will get 2 hrs, what with music and dance and moments and such) show for the school, and a 45 minute version for the Folger festival next year. I am trying to preserve as much as possible in the longer one, and then there are/will be removable scenes (sorry Bianca and suitors, in large part you, although I suppose that a few Katherine and Petruchio bits can go) for the Folger version. So, yesterday I killed a subplot for the Folger. :(
Lots of fun though. I have pages and pages and pages of notes, and am finally starting to convert all the odd notecards and post-its to one journal. |

He asked me out to Titus Andronicus. It is so awesome to find someone who is so on your wavelength that that works.

Can't say much about Dracula (come, everybody), but can say that I looooove my wedding dress (that is, in Dracula). |

The movie Eragon has approximately 154 cliches. We counted.

Hey-- I need a monologue and a sonnet for a workshop I am doing soon, and I'm having trouble finding one of each that
a) really resonates with me
b) I haven't done before, or at least not for this event
c) is twenty lines or less (for the monologue) or can be easily cut, and I'm not sure if the rules allow cutting and pasting or just ending early/beginning late
and
d) stands alone well
Male or female is fine.
Thanks!

Sang to many little children, including two who attempted to smear chicken grease on my costume. Gave a couple not ideally prepared monologues. Scared little children. Incited one girl to shove her friend and call her "thou." Had good times with Sarah and Alex. Skipped (with approval) math and world to do this. Good times. Performed at the same function as a professional sword swallower and juggler. Forgot my foolscap. Got many compliments but realized afterwards that I had a crazy piece of hair sticking up several inches right in the center of the top of my head in all the pictures. Once again had unintentional key-change issues in Greensleeves. Ate awesome chicken. Ran around an elementary school in my Renaissance costume looking for a bathroom with soap. Walked around my high school in my Renaissance costume. Got cast as Dracula's wife which sounds very cool except I'm not sure that it is a sizable part or an interesting one so we shall see... I want to fly. Hopefully did decently on my English in-class essay. Forcibly, musically, wittily (I think), and with a napkin held off boys with chicken grease and bread rolls projectiles. Sent e-mail regarding schedule for Shrew next year. |

We spend hours upon hours doing Calculus formulas and multiple choice tests and whatnot, and when I finally get a project that interests me (researching mediaeval battles) I'm expected to learn about eight of them (EIGHT of them!) in about three days.
And of course, I had to spend part of the time watching Henry V. For comparison to real life, and all that.
Anyone able to tell me the gender and class themes of the Battle of Agincourt?
How about the environmental themes of the Battle of Hastings?
Technological Themes of the Battle of the Ice?
Actually, better yet, can someone just explain physics to me so I have more time for the fun stuff? Or, for that matter, the officially correct uses of a semicolon? Etc.?

Just commented to Pam:
I used to love English, but now it hates me. We'd see other people, but I'm bad at Spanish. So I've been checking out Middle English, but it's a little before my time. |

Long story but the nutshell version is that while looking for the Arden edition (recommended by a director a while back for good textual notes for performance) on Amazon, I found this review. Thouroughly dumb, yes, but also a wonderful chuckle.  Taming Of The Shrew, November 30, 2003 I found this story to be extremely elementary. This Shakespeare fellow obviously has no idea what he is talking about, and I hope he refrains from releasing anything in the near future. |
