another week down/links
Oct. 11th, 2019 05:33 pmOkay, it's Friday. Work is... weird. I'm at the point where I really don't want to talk to people at lunch (b/c they're doubling down on the weird, where I like to push that personal bubble out and get some breathing space) so here are a few diversions from the past week:
Unfortunately, it sounds as though the Timothee Chalamet non-Shakespearan version of Prince Hal is... not good. (sadface) But, hey, THiddleston did it a few years ago so I had a little palate cleanser with this really very personal ( St Crispin's Day speech )
BabyBoy auditions with this monologue a lot, so I have heard it a million times (along with Romeo's 'Tis Torture speech and Sebastian's Is this the air? monologue from Twelfth Night) and usually, people do it very bombastically, but here, TH is really quiet and intensely personal, and it gives this whole other meaning to why people followed him.
And then, I just finished reading Daisy Jones and The Six, which I enjoyed, but for some reason, the cover was giving me '60s vibes rather than '70s, so I was expecting Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane rather than Fleetwood Mac. It was fine, but it left me itching for some of Grace's vocals (how in the everloving *hell* the group that gave us White Rabbit fell apart enough to do that Starship abomination is beyond me**) but youtube, as always, giveth the good stuff: ( Jefferson Airplane, Woodstock, White Rabbit )
(Actually, now that I see Grace in that video, she is *exactly* why I was expecting that era rather than Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. The girl on the cover is the Grace I remember.)
Also, ( DragonCon, the video )
The Maleficent at 2:36 was amazing in person when those wings went out.
Happy weekend!
**No, it's really not beyond me: the answer is, as it so often is, capitalism, sigh
