Borge Borge
A man is giving a piano concert in Denmark and begins playing a song. Part way through, he leaves and doesn't come back. A few weeks later he comes back, his piano is on stage and he plays a single note. A person asks him where he's been, and his reply is simple:

"Long time, no C."

I don't know if anyone's heard any of Victor Borge's routines but they are fantastic. Unfortunately he died a few years ago but he was an absolute genius with his comedy. He was a fantastically able piano player too, and the way he integrated the two aspects was hilarious. I watched some of my mum's videos of him a few days ago and they always make me laugh. What I wrote above is a paraphrasing/re-telling of one of his jokes.

Anyway, "Long time, no see" is pretty much why I'm writing this post, heh ^_^; It's been a while since I last updated and I apologise to everyone who's been lacking in something better to do while I've been busy ^_~

What's been happening, then? Nothing too out of the ordinary. I was due to update yesterday but I really didn't feel up to it; on Tuesday Lawrence stayed the night and Monday was Finding Nemo, Smallville and Big O night for me.

Finding Nemo is an absolutely beautiful film. I don't often say it but there's a lot to be said for animation that isn't anime. I pretty much swear by Japanese animation now but Pixar have done really well. They deserved the Oscar, I think.

I missed the second episode of Big O, but caught all of the third on last night, with the gigantic electric eel thingummybob. It's very good, but it feels oddly Batman of the Future in its looks. I can't help half-expecting to see the Joker looming around a corner ^_^; But seeing as I can hear Gene Starwind's voice actor in it don't mind. He has a very cool voice ^_^

Sah- you're most welcome- your stories are great to read. I'm sorry I've not been around too much lately. I suppose I might become more scarce in most online aspects at least until after the end of March, which isn't all that long away. I hate making promises that I can't hold on to, so I can't say for sure if I'll be on AIM at all for some time, but I will try. I'll still be on OB and MyO as regularly as I can, but as two hours of my Monday evenings will be taken over by Oh What a Lovely War! as of next week, quite a huge amount of my time is being taken from me. Marat/Sade is being performed in two weeks- once that's over I'll get my two free weekdays back (Thank God...); another two weeks after that are the LAMDA Gold Medal exams. Then I have two weeks off college entirely to really concentrate on relaxing, Bouncers and Haroun. It's a very busy time. I guess this is what they really meant by an 'Intensive Acting' Course, heh.
