ink_splotchI should be cleaning my room, I really should. But watch me procrastinate from that, even though I really have nothing else to do right now; I was supposed to go out tonight, but that ultimately came to nothing. Very sad, but it did give me a chance to watch Henry V, which Sofie and Tess gave me for my birthday. And, um. Did "bedfellow" mean the same in Shakespeare's time as it does today? Because, well, it sure seemed to in the movie. So good though. Incredibly enjoyable and I love Chorus particularly. So appropriately sinister. Mmm. Also baby!Bale! So damn adorable.
I finished The Color Purple today and that is a damn good book. It's incredibly enjoyable and incredibly *harsh* and so beautiful at the same time. I really must buy it at some point. When I have any money at all. Oh! And the love story between Shug and Celie (fuck off, IMDB, it *is* a love story) is incredibly nicely handled - and all the references to the Harlem Renaisance had me quite amused (I really should read up on that more at some point), just an all around hopeful read.
Meanwhile, back to square one with regards to the stupid huge written assignment of doom. Well, not quite, but it turns out that for anything I write about, I need a factual background text - secondary texts are nessecary apparently. Which means if I want to do Brideshead Revisited I need some sort of historical background; same, I guess, for Specimen Days and I have no idea *what* I'd do for Lost. Perhaps I should reconsider and write about Wicked instead.
I really should clean. *sigh* Anyone want to rec me some Shakespeare slash for when I finish? Hell, any slash'll do, f/f, m/m, anything. I just want something to look forward to. ;)
