I've just realized I've not posted in a long time. It's not because I was on some sort of strike or anti-strike or anything of the sort, I just got busy and haven't had the time to post. Happy Easter to those who celebrate, personally I am excited for my holiday tomorrow, the Post-Easter 1/2 price chocolate sale! Woot!

On Wednesday, sumeragiskank came up to visit and I also went to go and see Patrick Stewart in Macbeth. Stewart was amazing and I liked his take on Macbeth and his ambition. I also loved the way how the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth came off as extremely sexual, romantic and a bit loving. Usually they just seem more like a political union not one in which the couple actually care for one another. I also thought the way MacDuff handled the deaths of his wife and children was really well done. The blood and the murder of Banquo were superb and I loved Banquo's ghost during the dinner.

Things I didn't like as much or found disconcerting: It was loud, like a little too loud. It might have been because of where I was sitting, but the loundness was unsettling. Some of the special effects, in particular vaguely electricity/static-like sound combined with the elevator noises and motif made me feel like I was on the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. I kept expecting one of the witches to start sing-songing "It's raining, it's pouring!" I found myself slashing Prince Malcolm and his brother, and I don't think I've ever done that before. It was quite disconcerting lol

Having sumeragiskank visit was awesome though it left me tired for the rest of the week and it sort of ruined my gym plans for the week. ^_^;; She also introduced me to: Yu Gi Oh Abridged. It just kills me and I've only seen a smattering of episodes and none of the dubs. Really one doesn't need to have ever watched the series or care about the series to enjoy these well done parodies. I only wish there were more for other series.

Friday, I went back to work and temped. It made me realize that sometimes it might be nice to work part time, maybe.

I have to order seed things so I can start planting soon and I need to start my Passover cleaning. Hopefully next week will bring both about.

Ugh I'd love to see Macbeth. The last thing I saw was Wicked but my friend bought the seats and they were awful, we were literally in the last row!

I thought this particular production overall was very good, our seats were sort of bad, but we got the tickets pretty late and the theatre was tiny. (and to make up for it they were quite cheap XD; )

I still want to make it to Wicked though I sort of don't like the idea of a happy ending lol I think I'm going to see 39 Steps on Wednesday! :D

Oooh, it sounds like it was an entertaining show! Patrick Stewart as MacBeth must have been wonderful!

Do tell us if the 39 Steps is worth seeing. I loved the movie!

Hahaha, YugiOh Abridged Series always makes me smile! A well done parody is such a joy.

Good luck with spring planting and Passover cleaning!

*hugs*

I thought he did an amazing job, he's a tremendous actor!

And OK in one word, "Yes!" see 39 steps, I will write a longer review of it later today.

I am now totally in love with Yu-Gi_oh the abridged and have fallen into the darkness of Puzzleshipping >>;;; I think I might have to look for a doujinshi when I am in Japan
