I'm famous and all

My picture's up on the library website in two (three?) places. The newest one is here where you can see me reading The day I swapped my Dad for two goldfish by Neil Gaiman.

You probably wouldn't know it was me though, unless you recognise my jersey.

I'm feeling distinctly muzzy today. I blame the Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) which I saw last night. It was completely hialrious and wonderful but if I hadn't gone to it I would have been asleep earlier and therefore healed more, etc etc.

I highly recommend the show I especially liked the audience participation bits because I got to chant "Cut the crap Hamlet, my biological clock it ticking and I want babies now!" while doing the actions. If anyone is going to attend this show I suggest you get a front row seat as they had the most participation stuff going on.

Oliver Driver was completely awesome and I have nothing but respect for him. The other two were also very very good and I loved the show a lot. My favourite bit?

Hamlet's father the ghost: Don't let Denmark become a couch for incest and villainy!
Hamlet (despairing): Incest!
Horatio (despairing): A couch!

hee hee hee.

Lee also enjoyed the show a lot, but couldn't help himself from making two complaints...King Lear is fictional not historical and there wasn't enough Timon of Athens. Or something.

hee hee, a couch!
