Ok so since you're all nerds like I am you all know that the Wii was released this Sunday and were harder to get ahold than a suiting analogy when you're half asleep. But me and my brother had a plan set out, where he was going to buy one and we were going to share it (after I paid my half).
But that didn't really happen because he decided not to drive to Kitchener at 4am to be in line for a store opening at 10. Why? Because his girlfriend said she didn't want him waking her up when he left (she doesn't live with us, she just spends a lot of time at our house). So that was very dissappointing, but life goes on.... it's a video game.
Also since I said in my last post I would also include Dromio into the post here it is. In Drama I'm doing a scene with Jalyssa Steinmen from Shakespere's Comedy of Errors. And really, Shakespere has never been that interesting to me (except for this year with Hamlet, Mr. C'vetich). But doing this scene, I'm having so much fun with Jalyssa and we're really making it our own and it's so weird because lately when we've been running through our lines it's been coming so natural to me that I forget I'm doing a scene and then with the realization that it is a scene I just think to myself "Oh crap, whats my next line."
Another thing that makes this scene so much fun is that we arn't given info about our characters, and our scene in particular isn't a famous shakespere scene (nor are they famous players) so we get to invent them based off the 30-40 lines.
And I never appreciated how free people actually are in directing Shakespere plays, and it's been a neat experience....
except the lines I say are so untolerably mean, and when me and Jalyssa were going over the "script" then first couple tiems to figure out what we were saying, we both knew what my character had said but none of us wanted to say what we thought because it was so mean!
Like my first line is:
Marry, sir, she's the kitchen wench, and all grease! And I know not what use to put her too than to make a lamp of her. I warrant her rags and the tallow in them could burn a poland winter! If she lives til doomsday she'll burn a week longer than the whole world!"
What I'm saying (if it isnt clear):
Dude shes lower class and very dirty. I could make her into an oil lamp due to all the grease n her. He clothes and the grease in her clothes would make a winter in poland seem awkwardly hot. The oil on her would burn a week longer than the world.
So thats all I have to say about that.

Wow, that is rude. I think it's kind of neat how you get to "invent" the characters based on those 30-40 lines. It makes the scene very interesting. Good luck with your play.
