so yesterday, my shakespeare class technically lasted for 11 hours. We went to class at 1:15 and didn't get back from doing Shakespeare things till 12:15 am!!! yeah, crazy, I know. But Paricles was the best Shakespeare play I have ever scene. Maybe it was cuz I stood up right against the stage so there were actors flying over me as acrobats, people getting in fights right in front of me, actors going out on a platform right behind me. I have been so spoiled by this experience. Nothing will be done right now that I have seen this production of Pericles in the Globe Theater. I think the coolest thing of the show which I will document here was the ship wreck when Pericles is the only one to survive. They had a ship that ... read more

Before we hit beer o'clock on another Friday night in London I thought I would share a few thoughts and pics from the last couple of weeks. Since last we spoke I have farewelled another friend to good old Adelaide...Pete the Brit Museum wont be the same without you! We have survived several more attacks on the Tube, a shooting in Stockwell station and yesterdays police raids in my little suburb of tooting. The atmosphere is not too perky at the moment but as all good Brits (well token Brits) do they laugh it off and carry on. So carry on we do and any excuse to go on a mini break is taken up. Therefore the chance to drag a good mate Lorena around Oxford was a brill reason to make a break for it. ... read more

eh, they've pretty much gotten over it by now. Updates here: The phrase of the day today was "he sent another hare running" spoken by my Dickens teacher. He had a hard time translating it, but I think it means setting another thing to chase, another character, topic, something to try and follow. So yeah, that was a great one. My Shakespeare teacher started singing today and talking about penises and sex in The Tempest. He kicks Allen's class discussions on this play's ass. That is so bizarre that you woke up at 4:30 this morning. I got an email at around 10:00 from the school asking that I write back to say that I was ok, which I did. I sent Mary an email, but she doesn't check it but once every few days. I ... read more

aright, so my dad got upgraded to "business class" for our flight to New Zealand, so I'm being a lacky and mooching on his "Air New Zealand Lounge" rights. They have computers in here and I'm bored so I'm sending out emails. They've got a ton of free food in here too!!!! That's actually the first thing I notices when I came in. I like food. Anywho, there's a guy in here who looks EXACLTY like Schuttie except he has dark hair, he's wearing a fishing T-Shirt and he's playing video games on some portable device. So it's dorky Wha-Schuttie, how wonderful. Anywho, "Dancing with the Stars" is coming back on on the TV. I could get used to this whole airport lounge thing... :-P -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sendin' out a bunch of G'days, I'm in New Zealand ... read more
