Rant about Reisen til Julestjernen, my new favourite scenographer and the magnificence of the play coming up tomorrow, when I have enough presense of mind to edit this. And am not sleep-deprived, slightly hung over and suffering from too much food.

---------------------------

There, I am coherent again, so edit follows:

Reisen til julestjernen was absolutely magical. The few edits, or liberties, they had taken to make it more modern did nothing to make it less sweet or less of a good story. It made it more appropriate and fun. But what completely blew me away, was the scene! And the costumes. The gothic touches to the building, the grandeur, it reminded me of Burton at his best. Ah, the count, the count! I mustn't forget him. He reminded me of a Disney villain, and I cannot pretend to not have found him delectable. He even mwhahahahaed. And was generally cute.

The next time the scenographic genious that is John-Kristian Alsaker does something, I am seeing it no matter what. Well, perhaps I'll amend that if it is Godot or Le theatre de l'absurde, in general. I just cannot deal with that movement. Maybe I'm too young, or just uneducated.

Following a reading of Time and Place, by Alan Sheridan, I announced that I was stage-struck. I thought I was slightly over that, but it appears I am not at all. I want to know everything about the theatre, the stage, the actors, the playwrights, the workings of theatrical magic. I am so in love (and very happy that I have no need to stand on-stage, but rather see something of mine performed on it.) Post-London I will have to go on a theatrical book-buying spree.

------------

University English and the course "Introduction to British Literature", is happening. I am doing the lot, including the exam (which, I am confident will be quite miserable). I even filed the world's shortest, most hopeless application of sorts. Haha, Katrine is totally to blame.
