Glory ,'Potential'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I think I need to reread the play thinking about these things.
I just got done reading the Arden of the 2nd Quarto, and then Sons Of Anarchy made me thought about this, and I'm thinking ".... I need to re-read. Shit." I think I need to pick up a non-annotated script, just for the re-read.
Is Sons of Anarchy based on Hamlet?
I just found out our new manager is from Dallas. I filled him in on the ravely reviewed Tommy he's missing.
Just got back from Costco, and who was sitting out front with her husband and kiddo, chowing down on $1.50 hot dogs with the rest of us? Nicole Sullivan. [link] Cool.
Nicole Sullivan.
Did you recognize her face first, or her voice?
Face, actually. Her little boy is very blonde, too.
Were we talking a while back about working with people who remind us of other people? Our new manager reminds me so much of Seth Rogen I want to ask him for weed.
How is it already 6:35 p.m.? Saturday errands take too long when you have to run them on Saturday when everyone else is!
pretend you're in California. It's only 3:46.
My take on Gertrude is that she is weak and opportunistic, with a side order of shrewdly man-pleasing enough to get by. She says yes to Claudius because she's afraid for her life/security, she agrees with Hamlet mostly to get him to not hate/attack her rather than in any real interest of justice. I've never really taken her suicide as a deliberate act of any kind of true agency. I've only grokked it as a knee-jerk "I can't deal with this" totally in the moment, going along with whatever is going on in front of her, as per usual.
Gertrude is no Lady MacBeth, and I see Ophelia as cut from much the same cloth.
