So last week, I ran away to New York and invaded loony_moony's apartment and together, we fangirled MIGHTILY over the two productions over from the Globe- Richard III and Twelfth Night- WHY YES, THE SAME TWELFT NIGHT THAT CHANGED MY LIFE TEN YEARS AGO, HELLO, HOW ARE YOU.

I was more than a little terrified that the production wouldn't hold up- there were a ( Read more... )

I AM RETURNED.

Ok, technically, I've been back since Tuesday evening, but as I was back at work Wednesday morning while fighting off jetlag and trying desperately to catch up on sleep, I've been a little lax in reconnecting with normal life.

The writer, Paul Taylor, is doing a piece on Rylance and his OP Twelfth Night, and well, he's got a little crush ( Read more... )

I have just met the FOURTH PERSON in RL who saw my beloved Twelfth Night at the Globe. Truly, this is the production that o'erleaps all bounds of common sense.

This other person is one of my fellow TAs and we've just spent time flapping hands over Mark Rylance and his loveliness/batshit insanity. Rapture!

DLK;FSLKFJSLFJAL NEW SPN TONIGHT. In like, EIGHT HOURS. THAT IS NOTHING. NOTHING! Also? WHY DOES THIS NOT EVEN SURPRISE ME ANYMORE?

WELL. What a last couple of days it has been. Before I talk about that, however, I must state for the record that my position of Bringer of the Good Crack? Is so very much confirmed forever and ever, amen. I've had one of those glorious days when I do NOTHING but sit around and be a bum and perhaps watch copious amounts of S1 'Friday Night ( Read more... )
