Just to prove that it can be done. I am sitting in a Macdonalds 'family resturant' typing on a diminutive laptop whilst connected to the internet. Technology has come quiet a way from dial up. I mean look! No wires!

I'd say it's week twelve. There are one or two other good ones but week 12 please.

Ok, in my last post I said I felt like my Live Journal had suffered, well now it's time to make up for it.

The performances this week were great. I really enjoyed seeing A Midsummer Nights Dream and the Tempest. Henry IV was pretty good, though I'll admit I was a tad distracted at the time. I brought my wife along (you may or may not have noticed) ( Read more... )

Well, it's official. My discipline has slipped completely, I haven't written in my common place book for a week, I haven't annotated anything and I continue to post LJ entries late. Such depravity!

So, late again and not much to say. It's odd, I feel that live journal has become secoundary to the common place book in many ways. Where I used to have ( Read more... )

So, The Tempest.

I am no Caliban, for he has affinity with Nature.
Nor am I Prospero for he is learned and wise.
I cannot be Miranda for she is innocent. 
Fernando is not I, for he is brave and virtuous.
Alonso, Antonio, Sebastian all powerful or wanting to be so. 
Gonzalo both powerful and kind.
I am none of these.
Trincolo or his sodden friend? I ( Read more... )

So, once again I've left it a little late, but I figure I'll post tomorrow and be back on schedule.

As for week 9.
MG suggested writing about our own moments in Darma, the roles we've played and that sort of thing. It's a good idea, but I myself have done little drama. With the exception of being forced to do it for Lit assessments I haven't done ( Read more... )

Ok, I know this is a late entry but I have an excuse. I was planning on posting a poem I've been writing in my common place book. The problem is it's rubbish. It has gone through three writings and I'm still far from happy with it. I cannot rhyme and find the words tend to trip over each other.

So having not managed a (good) creative piece I'll ( Read more... )

So the Discussions are on again. I've got to say there didn't seem much of a gap between discussions this time. Not that I see a problem with that, I could use all the help I can get with Henry the IV (even after an impromptu performance).

I still can't seem to decide my feelings towards the characters in the play. King Henry seems a blood thirsty ( Read more... )

My best Entry is my week 3 poem on prayer (maybe).

Cheers!

Having yet to fully grasp Henry the IV part un (or any part of him for that matter) I feel compelled to write a creative piece, whether it turns our creative or not we shall have to see.

The Thing in the Classroom

Inside every classroom there is a Thing. It is only a small Thing. It is not ugly, though it chooses to ( Read more... )
