Annie Waits Part 2

Not a lot to say this Sunday evening, except that it's been a slow weekend. Good slow, though. For some reason I haven't felt like doing much except sitting inside, reading, and watching movies. It might have been the rain, but I was definitely in slug mode.

I did go see UMM's production of As You Like It, and that was absolutely stunning. The acting, the costumes, the music (which was unexpected), just everything was great. I wasn't familiar with the play, and now I want to rush out and read it. In fact, I'm thinking that I'll delve into Shakespeare a bit this summer. I know I want to read Hamlet again (it's my favorite), and I think I'll do As You Like It, King Lear, and The Merchant of Venice as well. Just so you know.

Okay now I'm going to do something completely out there. I'm going to post a video. I've never done that before on this blog, and frankly I'm kind of against it because usually when I see videos on blogs, I just go right past them without watching. If you want to do that with this video, feel free. I'm just posting it because I've been obsessed with it since about 3 p.m. today, and I want an excuse to watch it again. Enjoy (if you want).

By the way, the video is actually on a separate post, because I'm not technologically advanced enough to put it on this one.

I love As You Like It! I haven't read it, but I want to. I need to find a copy of it first...

I just went to see a production of Twelfth Night at Bethel University in the cities!! Shakespeare is AMAZING onstage. It totally puts the readable versions to shame. I really recommend reading Twelfth Night, I read it over spring break and loved it. Also, check out Much Ado About Nothing as well. It's great. :)
