Yes Pen. do tell. how is all with good old Harris?
Ok I am completely exhausted! I have the horible habit of procrastinating. And I was up til 2AM this morning reading the 120 pages of a book that is due for today! The Scarlet Letter **shudder**
I am going to burn that book and The Great Gatsby when I am done with this torturous course!!!!
umm, ive said hi to him a few times in the hallway...*blush* anywho...I'll burn Othello with you...i love the play, but the way my teacher is making me read it...ARG! i wanna murder maybe 95% of my English class...they are sooooo STUUUUUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! heh heh heh..I sleep now...
Good night Pendragon it is 1045 here and I should be going but I havn't finished history. oh well.
I almost went to see the play Othello. But ut was aout a week into school starting and I didn't want to get behind in studies(great plan that was!) But do inform me more Pen!
Othello is a great play...but only if Im alowed to read at my speed, and watch the movie with no one talking in the background. I wont see Haris for three days unless I crash rehersals at school and the director wont take to kindly to that, and the tech director will probaly sweep me off to set con (but then again, Dan doesnt like Saturday Set Con, what a shame) and i oddly dont feel like going to set con (gasp) anywho...
Quoting Pendragon:
I'll burn Othello with you...i love the play
I'll tell you one of the finest Shakespeare plays, and my personal favourite - Twelfth Night. I'll be performing it sometime this month, and it is fantastic, great fun and a lot of room for characterisation.
Quoting Pendragon:
yea, that is a great play, General. What part have you got???
Sir Toby Belch
Actually, we've changed the play quite a lot. Not the lines, but the settings. It's now in England, during World War II, and all of the action takes place in a bar. It's good fun.
Sounds fun G O. I wish I could come. My mom and I are travelling to England and Europe this June so maybe I'll see one when I come. But who knows we are still negotiatiing out our trip.
Ok I am now officially about to shoot my English teacher. So he grades us on how well we annotate our books right. And he has four catagories with three grade levels for each. poor-good-excellent.
Well thankfully that 2AM morning paid off of reading Scarlet letter, he gave me a 98 *faints* thats my best grade so fare! He must have been on something. Anyhow, So we read Hamlet and had to do the same thing well I got two excellents and two good. He gave me a fricken 80!!!I did everything in that book and he gives me an 80!!! *click of shotgun*
But my freind on the Scarlet Letter did as much or amore than I did annotating and she got 3excellents and 1 good, and he gave her an 84. I tell ya some teachers need to work out the way they grade. *puff**puff* Ok Im done venting.

Interesting change, General. I remember hearing about a production of Macbeth taking place in the trenches of WWI, and at my school within the last two years the annual 7th grade production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at my school is now set in a modern high school with the fairies, acting troupe, etc. representing a different clique. That always struck me as being a rather silly idea.
Flattery will get you nowhere, but don't stop trying.
I like seeing what different directors do with Shakespeare, my drama teacher is particularly good at it! Sadly I haven't yet had the chance to work on a Shakespeare with him, and it looks like I might not get that chance.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and everyone dies.
Quoting Tracy: A Midsummer Night's Dream at my school is now set in a modern high school with the fairies, acting troupe, etc. representing a different clique. That always struck me as being a rather silly idea.
Haha, there was a production of Midsummer Night's Dream just like that not long ago - and I agree fully - odd idea really. Plus it was cut down severely and all of the roles were played by women.
lol, thats what the local collage does every summer at the Shakespeare Festival. They take a classic and stick it in a different setting. I saw Much Ado About Nothing there last summer, and they plunked it down in the middle of the old west. Leonato was a hotel owner, and Don John (the evil guy) was a black clothed cowboy...it was funny!!
Putting Shakespeare in different settings is fine... But after seeing at least a dozens of these, my biggest dream is to see a true Shakespeare in the RIGHT era, with the RIGHT dialogue with the RIGHT costumes.
Quoting Roger_Moore:
what is the jedi master got to do with 007?
I am going to hack into his ID.
Not to mention The Cat, Tracy, Pendragon, Hardyboy, SiCo or Mr Thomas, to mention but a few! Anyway the short and the long of it is: What's your point?! (meant in the nicest possible way of course)
...and now for something completely different...
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and everyone dies.
Jarvio! Welcome back!
I have that familiar feeling of being bogged down with homework now. I am sitting in studyhall now and it is turning out to be one of those weeks with alot of homework!
I best be getting back to it now.

Oh goodie! What's that? MONTY PYTHON? I love them.

Good Sir Jarvio! You have returned!
I am well, and hopefully you are the same?
Yes, I'm fine also. Been really busy lately, overloaded with college work.
