Romeo and Juliet sucks. So does writing papers on it, even if I do get to write my paper about how they're both flighty teenage idiots.

This seems an appropriate thread to update my status.

And don't forget to throw in the fact that Romeo was the first emo!

Imagine having to watch the Leonardo de Caprio movie as you read it. Bleh.

We did watch it. Yes, this was a freaking college course.

The 1960s version is better.

I am much, much more sympathetic now.

Shakespeare was gay. He spent way too much time describing the men running down the streets with "their buttocks jiggling" in their tights.

Really, if you're going to argue that Shakespeare is gay, you're much better off basing your arguments on the fact that a number of his sonnets are written to praise the appearance of some guy no one can identify.

I prefer the original story of Pyramus and Thisbe by Ovid whom Shakespeare was fond of heavily borrowing. Pyramus stabs himself in the groin with a sword.. not simply jabbing himself with a dagger like a wussy Romeo!

Oh, dude, Romeo poisons himself. (More like Lame-death-eo, am I right?) Juliet is the one who's got the guts to stab herself- or shoot herself in the head in the music video/diCaprio version, but what amuses me is how the camera then pulls back to show hew lying dead next to Romeo, and there's no blood anywhere.

8 people, out of about 20, showed up for class today. I'm sure it was completely unrelated to the fact that the paper was due. Suuuuuuuuure.

On the bright side, we started on Henry V today, which is much better. Henry's pretty funny.

Are you sure you aren't just digging on Francis Flute in a bad wig?

At some point, I think my brain just got saturated. Too much knowledge. And every new bit I try to stuff inside pushes some of the old bits out.
