The Good, the Bad and the Meme

[redfiona99]

The Good:

I haven't lost my GI Joe DVD.

My strained muscle in my back has healed to the point that I can survive without Deep Heat (mostly).

The Bad:

Proteins. That is all I wish to say on the matter as if I add anything to that, it will all be four letter words and asterisks.

Spiders - you can tell it's Spring, the spiders are making a comeback. I am not freaking out, really, but I am very happy that I will be moving soon. I must start to tidy/pack up however which is also :(

The Shakespeare Meme - Day #17: Your favorite speech

Sadly I can't find it from a production but I've got to go with the horribly obvious:

Watch on YouTube

All the World's a Stage

I prefer it in situ, because, while I love it anyway, in the play you get the feeling of Jaques, who being as he is a forerunner to Marvin the Paranoid Android, will never be happy, and he's all anger and spite and bitterness* which most non-play readings leave out.

*Obviously, character interpretations, they vary.
