The trailer for The Tempest is out! Watch it!!

I guess I should probably read the play at some point, huh? I've got to drop by the library tomorrow anyway to return the library card I found at the bus stop this morning, so I guess I might as well use my library card for the first time ever and borrow a copy. Not like it will take me very long to read.

...Why isn't it December 10 yet?! I'm so excited for this movie. I'm going to spend the entire film distracted by the South Puna coastline, though. HAWAII ISLAND FILMING LOCATION FTW!! ...Dude, this means Helen Mirren and Ben Wishaw were bumming around in Hilo for a while. How surreal is that?

So, uh... that Decemberists song. Guess where Sycorax comes from?

The only thing that annoys me about the movie is that they made Prospero, Prospera, but other than that HOLY SHIT I WANT TO SEE THIS SO BAD. Done by the guy that did Titus and Across the Universe? HELLZ YEAH.

Also, yes. Read The Tempest. It was enjoyable, even if I had to put up with idiot high school kids asking if Ariel was the little mermaid. (No. He is not.)

IT COMES FROM DOCTOR WHO, RIGHT?! ...Yes, darling, I am aware that "The Island" references The Tempest.

I guess I don't mind the Prospera thing so much. Because I love Dame Helen Mirren, and Shakespeare needs more strong female characters anyway, and it's historically sensible, what with female practitioners of magic and alchemy being convicted of witchcraft, back to the 16th and 17th centuries. And the gender switch should put an interesting twist on the characterization... I'll have to see how that works out, once I've finished reading the play and seen the movie.

I have a shiny, freshly borrowed copy! It won't take me long. And pffff, that's silly. Ariel is naked Ben Wishaw. *nodnod*

Also, I've not seen Titus or Across the Universe, somehow. Faaaaaaiiiilll.

Also also... is the blue towel you were using yours or ours? And I have one of your socks, I think... black and green?

[drownedcities.livejournal.com]

You should watch them!

I used the blue towel and yes, that is my sock. I didn't even realize it was gone. :(

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

I've been meaning to get around to Across the Universe because, Beatles. I don't know anything about Titus.

Yes, but does the towel belong to you, or should I be chucking it in our laundry? Either way you should come get your sock.

Oh yes! I'm not going to go, but I know that you like them -- Gogol Bordello is playing again downtown at the Roseland on the 19th of this month.

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

Oh gods, I'm not sure I could handle being trampled at a Gogol Bordello concert by myself. @_@ I guess I'll see if Lauren and Dar are interested... Dar probably not, since she'll just be getting back.

I will come retrieve it very soon! As for the towel... I think it's yours? I grabbed it off the shelf with the rest, if that's what you mean.

Ask them! I also don't have the money or I probably would go, but I kinda want to save for Passion Pit. EITHER WAY, I know you like them so I'm letting you know as a heads up. ♥

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

Okay if you grabbed it off our shelf it's ours, or it became ours at some point so close enough. That's all I needed to know.

Thanks for thinking of me bb! <3 When's Passion Pit again?

[drownedcities.livejournal.com]

December 1st, Crystal Ballroom! I don't think they're selling tickets, but I already I have the time set aside at work for it.
