Today was a weird day... I've been in a bit of a coma all day and now that I should be sleeping I feel wide awake. I think I need to stop drinking coffee... it hasn't become a daily habit yet, but I need to be careful. It definitely affects me. That being said I have to go into work early tomorrow so resisting the temptation will probably be ( Read more... )

I have been to many plays especially since my semester in London in 2003. But I don’t think I have ever gone to one in greater anticipation than this. Hamlet at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre with David Tennant. I was so excited. I remember sitting in the theatre as the lights went down and feeling the thrill of anticipation fall over me. The ( Read more... )

I just finished reading Evening and was actually disappointed. I'm notorious for reading novels after I've see the film adaptations, but usually I am happy with the book... usually I love how the novel draws out the characters further than a film can. But this is a rare case. And here, I will warn you that if you want to read the novel or see ( Read more... )

So it's been a pretty full month. Just got back last Sunday from spending time at Lake Michigan in Indiana, about 15 minutes from Uncle John. I blissfully was able to spend copious amounts of time with Margs and Nena. We actually went to see Travis in Pontiac and Chicago, but hopefully tomorrow I will write an entry about that in detail with ( Read more... )

Ten things I've done that I bet you haven't done. If you've done one, call me on it and then post this meme in your journal.1. Performed the safety demonstration on a taxiing airplane ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning to an empty house and a pair of barking dogs. Took a shower, ate breakfast, and stole the 4runner, as my car seems to be leaking gas, to go to Frontenac to see The White Countess. I've been looking forward to seeing this the last of the Merchant/Ivory partnership for quite a while and what an end. Beautiful, evocative, ( Read more... )

Megan is fabulous... for a few weeks now, I've been thinking that I need to talk to her and just when I'm about to pick up the phone, she calls me and says she's been meaning to do the same. We spoke only briefly, as she was on her way to a "hot tub" party, lol, but she said she'd call again soon for a proper talk ( Read more... )

I had a beautiful dream last night... I haven't in so long. There was a definite story and very palpable feelings of being loved and loving, but of course i can't remember anything specific. Except everything was cast in an overall blue hue (some green and white). Nothing else ( Read more... )

Finally after 17 years of education, I was required to read Hamlet for class. We've basically finished it in class, although it still feels like there are so many things left uncovered. I bet there could be a course that strictly focuses on it and it's cultural impact... in fact, that course probably already exists somewhere even if it doesn't at ( Read more... )
