A Mixed Bag

[veradee]

If you ever get the chance to see Stephen Dillane on stage, preferably in a play by Shakespeare, go and see him. I saw him in The Tempest the other day, and was more than a little bit impressed. I'm probably unfair towards other actors I saw in Shakespearean roles in the past, but I'm tempted to say that I've never heard such an excellent diction before than I did from Stephen Dillane. Usually, I struggle a lot with the old-fashioned words and the creative sentence structure Shakespeare used, but Dillane made the language sound so natural and easy. It was a delight listening to him.

Some people have a shoe fetish. I have a bed linen fetish. I could buy bed linen all the time. It's a pity that I've only got one bed.




Here's the latest one (pic lifted from the manufacturer's website). I put it on last night for the first time, and it's just gorgeous.
