Saw Wheaton's production of "The Pillowman" this evening. And may I say, wow. I'd never seen or read it before, so I went into it with a totally open mind, and I got completely blown away. I liked the ways in which it shied away from overly obvious political commentary and the various twisted chills it provided. I need to read more stuff by ( Read more... )

My play was great! The actors did very well portraying the characters and making the words feel real. It was really great to see. The audience seemed to appreciate it; certainly, people afterwards told me they had. I spoke intelligently in the Q&A following the show, which was probably the part I'd been most nervous about. One of my classmates ( Read more... )

The deadline for the term paper I've been working slowly but frantically on has been pushed from Friday to Monday. That's nice. Said term paper is on environmental issues in Soviet and post-Soviet Russia.

So, I've been experiencing some measure of. . . Academic Success. Of course, I'm only taking two classes. But I just found out that I got an A- on my midterm paper for my literature class. That, depressingly, is probably the highest grade I've gotten on a major paper in more than two years (with the possible exception of my paper on masking in ( Read more... )

I have finally finished the entire Harry Potter saga. I just have to say, in terms of "Deathly Hallows," that while I didn't cry, I came close several times. "Deathly Hallows" and "Goblet of Fire" are definitely my two favorites of the series. I'm not sure which one I prefer; I may have to reread the series. My dad, meanwhile, has read the ( Read more... )
