Listening to: "Chou Nan Ren" (Jerk) by Huang YiDaI just realized how fast this year is going by. There's so much to do before I can get a break. Not that I'm objecting to most of what I have to do, but if I think too far ahead, the list gets overwhelming.
This past Thursday, Becky and Katy invited me to go see "Much Ado About Nothing" performed at the Alley Theatre. They got free tickets from their English prof. We went along w/ Mimi, Meg, and Rob. Since it was raining, we all crammed into Becky's Mustang so I wound up sitting on Rob's lap for the ride. The play itself was interesting. Their interpretation was very bizarre, but it wasn't as bad as what people had been saying. The kooky costumes and set did detract from the play a little, but the actors did a good job. This makes me excited b/c we're doing "Much Ado" in the spring for BakerShake. ^_^ It's one of my all-time favorite Shakespearean plays and probably my favorite comedy (although "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is great as well). There are some great insults that get hurled btwn Beatrice and Benedick.
Last night was Rice's annual Night of Decadence. It's a party where people try to wear as little clothing as legally possible. I've never gone b/c the idea doesn't really appeal to me and you have to pay to get in. This year's theme was "A NODical Adventure: a Tribute to Seamen" (the pun is intended). I got this sick and twisted idea for a costume, in case I did decide to go. Since there are some underage members hear, I'll just say that it involves what hentai is infamous for (*cough*tentacles*cough*). ^_~ I did go to the Movie Room to check out the pre-party. The costume ideas were what I expected: sailors and pirates although Kim was the "booty." David was the least dressed, and he proceeded to sit on every girl in the room who wasn't going to NOD (me included). If it was anybody else, I probably wouldn't have stood for it, but it's David. ^^ I still wonder what people would've thought if I went thru w/ my costume idea.
Quote of the day:
"I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me." - Beatrice in "Much Ado About Nothing" by William Shakespeare (and this is why she's my favorite Shakespeare heroine ^_^)
Much Ado About...Something?
