Re: last night's student production of Henry V:

It was a very good production.

Why did I wikipedia the Saw movies? Was I on crack or something? Now I feel sick :(

Have just got back from London - I met up with some people from the university musicals society and we went to see The Lion King musical in the West End!

( Lion King rambling )

I then spent an extremely uncomfortable night on a friend's living room floor. I had a sleeping bag, but the zip had been busted so it wouldn't close, plus we (not I) decided to start watching Freaky Friday at two a.m and then fell asleep in front of it... well, those people who are able to fall asleep when there's a movie blaring two feet away did... about two-thirds of the way through the movie, I realised I couldn't sleep, realised everyone else was asleep, and switched off the damn thing. Then still couldn't sleep so curled up in an armchair. I think I had about four hours sleep altogether... hasn't caught up with me yet.

On Tuesday night, Mum and I watched the remake of the movie The Manchurian Candidate. It was great, and it was fascinating to see how the two movies and the book differ from each other. Whoever made the remake obviously respected the original movie - and I want to hug angsty, confused Denzil Washington. And they put in flashback-y goodness! There should be more eerie flashbacks in movies.

Still angsty and grumpy about uni, but my thoughts are too unformed to type up, not to mention I am running out of time on the Internet. Ta ta for now, mi amigos. (I'm sure some Spanish speaker on my Flist will point out that that's been misused, but meh.)

Woah. So tired.
This morning we started rehearsals at ten a.m. Original plan was to begin technical rehearsal (we go through the motions so the lighting and sound teams can work out what they want to do) at ten. Unfortunately lighting and sound teams had realised they had a lot more work to do setting up than they'd realised. So we hung around until twelve, rehearsing random parts of the show, sewing costumes, etc.
Technical rehearsal began about then. We had intended to finish it at three and do a run-through of the whole thing, with costumes.
Technical rehearsal actually finished at half-four.
Happily, we then had about an hour's break, so my parents turned up with a picnic (including strawberries and cream!) and restored my good humour, which had been sadly absent until then.
Then we quickly ran through entrances and exits, and then we had the performance...
...which went great! Audience were lovely, clapping and cheering at everything, and all the soloists sounded gorgeous.
Then we had after-show party at the uni bar and then at the flat of one of the cast members. A lot more subdued than the Oklahoma one. (Everyone a hell of a lot more tired.)
I will go to bed soon. I'm so tired it's hard to hit the right keys ^_^

A very good evening on Friday! Me and my mum and brother went to see this excellent play called 'Kill The Messenger' which was sort of like a Shakespeare humour fic ^_^ Basically, the idea is that there's a guild of messengers (because you have messengers in any Shakespeare play who bring crucial news, so they've got to come from somewhere.) One of them, Iago, is kicked out for lying too much, and promptly heads off to Venice to the command of a certain black general called Othello...he manages to escape at the end of that play, and goes off to be a false messenger and wreak havoc in a load of others....
For an Iago fan like me (he is *so cool*) this was very good, and also the guy playing him was just right and really cool *bounces excitedly* and the play was so funny as well! Also they took lines from all the plays and put them in their own play (if you follow) so every time they put in a line from Othello I was like "Yay!" (Although that's kind of worrying because I thought I'd forgotten all the Othello lines after taking the exam...)

If there's one thing I hate, it's Net stress...so much to do, so little time, oh the panic...
Off to London tomorrow. To see a play for drama. Leaving college at 4, returning at midnight. Have to do 10 sides of notes on aforesaid play the next morning. No supper. No time to write. Missing my friend's cello concert. Thinking this is all a waste of time, and feeling extremely cross.
So have done quiz to take my mind off it all...
