Lies and falsehoods, Padfoot!

This episode began with McKenzie explaining that all the parts, even the female ones, were played by men in Shakespeare's day... But she made it seem like this was a huge revelation, not something that everyone and their brother already knows. Seriously, Face Off, give your audience (and contestants) a little credit. Anyway, then she brought out Ve (who did the makeup for Mrs. Doubtfire) to discuss how each designer was going to be assigned a female Shakespeare character and a male model, and they had to make him look female. That was pretty much the whole challenge, which I didn't think was that big of deal, but apparently it was because everyone started freaking out. Maybe because this was another focus challenge, meaning that they only had to do a face, but it had to be flawless?



( False face must hide what the false face doth know. )

This was the Goodreads quote today, and I like to think they did it on purpose, for Robin.


The breaking of so great a thing should make
A greater crack; the round world
Should have shook lions into civil streets,
And citizens to their dens.

-William Shakespeare

You know, I constantly think of/experience things that I want to put in here, and then when I sit down to type I can't remember any of them. WTF?

Random Events of My Life

- The only reason I got dressed today was becasue it's Kirstin's birthday and we had a little party for her. That means I got dressed at about 6:00pm.

- Emily made us key lime pie for Kirstin's party, and I've never had that before, but it was DELICIOUS.

- My Catholic college is currently showing The Birdcage on the movie channel, and we now also get LOGO, the gay channel. (Both of which I consider good things, just weird given the context.) And I was channel surfing at 3:00am (don't even ask) and Queer as Folk was on it and I watched it and it was SO FUCKING GOOD. God I love Hal Sparks. It's an amazing show. GAH.

- My philosophy professor wore a purple and yellow striped tie the other day, and when he walked into wheeled into entered the room, in my head I went HUFFLEPUFF TIE! YOU ARE A HUFFLEPUFF! AWWWWWWWWWWW! I think Hufflepuffs would be philosophy majors, don't you?

- I am a huge dork.

- I tried out for the directing scenes, and the cast list goes up tomorrow. AHHHHHHHHH!!! I'm so freaking nervous. I really need to be on a stage again. It's not that I don't like stage managing, because I do, but I'm also an attention whore and I need to be SEEN.

- Blackfriars came and did A Midsummer Night's Dream and it was SO AMAZING. And Puck was a satyr. How cool is that? But they cut the character of Snout, and I don't know why. Oh, and the other show they're doing this season? Cyrano.

- The Monty Python show goes off book tomorrow night... That's all I'm going to say about that.

- We watched Sleepy Hollow tonight. I don't know how, but I'd forgotten just how beautiful Johnny Depp is. Yes, I have 3 posters of him on my walls, but he's so much better in motion.

- That movie always reminds me of Hannah. I LOVE MY HANNAH! I MISS MY HANNAH!


I'll be back tomorrow if I think of anything else. Peace!



ETA: Somehow I forgot the part where we, as a suite, with boys, watched Alice In Wonderland: An X-Rated Musical Fantasy. That's right kids, we watched Alice in Wonderland porn. From the 70's. And it was actually sort of good, like with a followable plot. I'd watch it again, in fact. But there were musical numbers! With choreography! And only one of them was about a penis!

Oh, I love my suite.

OMFG I just saw the funniest thing!

On Disney's House of Mouse they did A Midsummer Night's Dream with Mickey and Minnie as Lysander and Hermia, and Donald and Daisy as Demetrius and Helena, and then Goofy was Puck. I laughed my ass off.

And Von Drake was the Duke and Scrooge was Egeus, and Von Drake is like "Marriage or die? Where'd you learn those parenting skills? I'd have run away too!"

They even threw in a bunch of the real Shakespeare lines, and Goofy/Puck was like "what are you saying?" and it was just really fucking funny.

Ok I'm done being weird now.
