Forgive me, but I read King Lear and it confused the fuck out of me. Although I have been wanting to get back into reading Shakespeare.
The White Road was not bad. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit, though it took me longer than normal to finish. I just haven't been much of a mood to do anything creative wise lately. That needs to change if I'm going to get ready in time for Ichiban Con.
I digress. I'm doing that a lot today. I should have stayed in bed.
King Lear is one that's better performed than read, but the question was so easy it was honestly an insult. It was basically "These two characters 1 female, 1 male represent truthfulness. When one goes away, the other appears." Even if you don't understand the themes or the plot of "King Lear" is it glaringly obvious that The Fool and Cordelia are the only ones constantly speaking the truth in the play. Esp. since using The Fool to speak the truth is something used over and over again in Shakespeare's work and Cordelia is well known for being the only truthful daughter.
Everyone has said good things about The White Road but I just, I can't. So many of my favorite book series have been ruined for me in the past two years and just, I don't want Lynn to go that way. I don't. I want her and her creative amazing series to live in my heart full and happy.
I completely feel you are not being creative at all lately. It's just, it's sad.
AHAHAHA! Dunkies - spoken like a true New Englander! I love it :D
That's what gets you - the waiting. It's just life. Being a bitch. Bleh. I really hope you stick the year out :) What I do nowadays is when stuff start stressing me out or people annoying me, I pause and give thanks for all the blessings I have; I always find they outweigh the negative. And pray just to get through that day. And stock up on Aleve and Advil.
I can't get into Glee and I don't know why. I just can't :(
No libraries around? When I have the money (lol! SOMEDAY in the future) I think I'll invest in a Kindle. Nothing will ever replace paper books but the convenience of instant delivery books is too tempting. And having 3000 books in your hands at once @.@
I miss Dunkies. So much. There was one, like, every 5 feet. There is only one in the whole of CLT that I know of, this is so unfair.
The waiting is driving me insane. Esp. with a recent rash of bad luck, nothing going right, and me basically not applying to/for anything until the nursing situation for my sister gets worked out. It's waiting on top of waiting and it is driving me insane.
Glee...is like visual crack. And half the time it's not even good. It's sort of train-wrecky and I dislike many of the characters but, you know, showtunes.
There's one library in the area and let's just say I own a better selection of books than they stock. Still, it might surprise me. I just have to find out what days it's open since budget cuts in the county cut those down.
I'm with you on the kindle bit. I will always prefer actual books, but when you're lugging crap around and walking 2 miles, you kind of need something lighter, smaller, and with you know, a ton of books.
Don't worry, everyone needs a good rambling sometimes. :) Laertes! In King Lear?! I just laughed so hard over that. But, hey, I guess getting King Lear and Hamlet confused isn't *too* bad. At least they didn't put Rosiland and Marc Antony. That would have been sad.

Yeah, at least he confused the dramas and not like, put down "Puck" instead.
