Quote of the Day: "Last night i dreamtThat somebody loved me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm"
-The Smiths, "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me"
I have to act this semester. Thinking it was a literature class, I registered for English 421 (Roman Drama). Now I'm playing the part of the porter from Petronius's Satyricon.
I'm a writer. I'm film buff. I'm a neurotic mess and a drinker. I'm an English student, not a drama student, and I'm not an actor.
But oh well. At least in the scene we're performing, I'm a drunk porter. At least I can pretend I'm having fun.

Just imagine yourself naked on stage. Oh, wait. No. You're supposed to imagine the audience naked on stage, that's it. Or in their underpants. I can't remember. But good luck!
I'm no actor, either, but it sounds interesting. Just did a run through of The Trojan Women with a class. One kid put the chorus to music, which was pretty cool.
Well, if you are a drunk actor, you probably will end up drunk and on the stage! ;-)
A funny thing happened on the way to the forum.
awww! That sounds like fun. I love writing and reading... and the film industry is great. Perhaps you will find it intriguing and fun to be in roman drama this semester. Try new things!!!! Don't forget to have a stiff drink! haha take care!
