Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)
Eeee! I did that show! So much (weird) fun and such brutal hard work.

Eeee! I did that show!
Ooh! In what capacity? I was Professor Night/Othello/Tybalt. It was my first acting role, so I probably wasn't all that good. The Thresher reviewer described my Othello as "purposefully (I hope) flat." But I did get to say "titmouse" on stage (well, on the floor...we didn't have a stage so much as...a floor...with curtains).
My capacity was... uhm... I'm full of cold meds and cotton-brained at the moment, but the thesis-doing chick, the one what talks a lot. In my present cottony state I can't remember her name or call up a single line from the play, but I do recall that sometimes she talked for pages at a time. How the hell did I do that?
It's the cold. It's got to be the cold. I don't want to have to contemplate being old and feeble and past my prime at 36.

Constance. The bloody STAR! Dude, very nice.
I do recall that sometimes she talked for pages at a time. How the hell did I do that?
Yes, yes she does. And often in iambic pentameter. "Perhaps some heartless student spiked my beer."
"Tail they may, but foot they cannot!"
I don't remember that line. Unless it's from something else.
"Except mermaids, who cannot properly be said to set foot on anything."
I wish I'd had my iMac at the time; I'd've done soundtrack CDs for everyone in the show. All of us got together and tossed at the director every song we could think of with a Good night, Good morning or Shakespeare reference, and she picked her favorites. Purty stuff.
Emily bought pretties for the living room. I got to open them even though she's a work. She has good tastes. I can't wait to hang the sconce she bought!
Edit to add the pretty link: [link]
Aaah. Okay. Damn you, Emily! I knew that one sounded familiar, but it's hard to Google when it's not exact! STOP MESSING WITH MY MIIIIIIND.
"Except the mermaids--it's the very place for mermaids."
"Who are only human beings down to the waist--"
"And who can't be said strictly to set foot anywhere. Tails they may, but feet they cannot."
I'm ready for the next one. Hit me again, thou heav'n born maid.
