...play, I still think Hero is a cardboard cutout: insert good-girl daughter of venerable old man and love interest for hot young soldier here. Really there's not much else to her character. I guess Shakespeare was either saving himself for writing such awesome females in The Merchant of Venice or had already shot his load doing so.

So, the highlight of today was having dinner with a couple of seriously wonderful people. Me and Jess and Jordan went to dinner after the Lit Club meeting, had a good time. I realized that I've been complaining and whiny, like, a lot recently, so that will be tempered from here on out, but they listened and were sympathetic and helpful
...the edge of doom: If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved. I figured I'd start today's entry off with a sonnet. No, it's not by me. It's by our good friend William Shakespeare. I had to memorize it my senior year of high school. I heard a line of it quoted in some TV show the other day, and felt the need to look it up again. Now on to other things. I will go in...
"Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests And is never shaken;" "Twenty years from now you will..."The soul has illusions as the birds have wings — it is supported by them. " ""Human history, in essence, is the history of ideas." “If you could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint.
...and tomato sandwich I'd been craving for days :-p Sadly I missed the lecture on organ trafficking tonight, that I was so looking forward to, because we had to get together to plan something for our Shakespeare presentations. We being Garth and Ren and I, we had a delightful time. And crafted Don John and Borachio into toddlers. Seriously, I asked who was a representation of complete and senseless...
...after that - I just sat brooding because I haven't seen it. xD I really want to see if Jonathan Rhys Meyers lives up to the fuss! Whilst speaking of that 16th century sort of time, my inner Shakespearean is indeed stirring. Think what you will - nerd, whatever - but man, Shakespeare knew his stuff. I love A Midsummer Night's Dream , especially. As my writing has been rather exercised lately...
Quick post before class as I haven't actually been updating about life events lately, just odd thoughts and strange ideas. -Had a test on Twelfth Night today in English, in class essay. I think I did...going to happen is type_spot , so if anyone is interested in reading along with me and someone who's a much better writer than me, go ahead and and add it or watch it...or whatever. Hurrah!
I have a favorite board game now. Actually played this this morning as part of my Research Approaches to Shakespeare class. Meta text, game theory, form, appropriation, etc. All fine justifications for easing into the week with a board game instead of something by Kant.
I took Shakey and Lacey to the Bark Park after work. The weather is gray, windy, cold, and probably raining now, so there were only two dogs and their owners there. Whenever the two dogs, a boxer and a... I don't know, Shakey seemed pretty weirded out by the guy. Lacey jumped on him tho. Lacey likes everyone. Am I a bad mom for laughing at my furkids try and take on the big dogs? It's just so funny
