Since Brevity is the Soul of Wit...

Alright, since Ross posted something, I feel an obligation to do the same. Sadly, I have no sonnet (though all you 2005 vets may remember my Christmas sonnet e-mail), but, I do have something.

Well, it's not really anything. I just wanted to say that you are all giant piles of inexorable awesomeness, with a hint of lemon. Everyone I know who went to the shows is still talking about them. In fact, people have literally come up to me on the street and asked me about you guys. Someone wanted to know if Ross was really British (yes), if Amanda could really speak Welsh (no), if Natasha was actually an immense badass (um, yes), is Rick Blunt's name was really Rick Blunt (yes, most of the time), if Anna really had a moustache (god I hope not), and if Rin was really an alien (the jury is out, but I'll go with yes).

So, in brief, my local area is inflamed with YCTC love, and I have about 5 people who want to go next year. Also, I have a boring anecdote to share.

On my return, someone gave me the pleasant gift of a book, called Shakespeare Illustrated. I rather enjoyed skimming through it, but actually laughed a bit when I saw this picture (which I was able to locate on the internet, as you see):

It's the conscription scene, from HIV, Pt. 2, featuring, from right to left: Falstaff's Page, Falstaff, Shallow, Silence, Mouldy, Shadow, Wart, Feeble, Bullcalf, and Bardolph alias Laura, Speas, Me, Charlie, Zan, Francis, Natasha, Jack, Mary and Erika. I mainly thought it was funny that the people in the picture actually look a little tiny bit like us. Oh, I did laugh until my face looked like a wet cloak ill laid up...sort of.

So, that's about it, I suppose. Nothing infamatory or revolutionary, but still interesting. I hope I'll see you all soon - I suggest a group trip to Blackfriars' Othello in the fall, maybe during Thanksgiving Break or something. Get back to me on that.
