wheee! back from Julius Caesar. Wow, I love our RM's. Shakepeare Theatre, 2nd row tickets, and charging us just $20? booyah. This one is set in Germany, I guess, or maybe Italy, kinda the fascist regime thing. They had this cool sky thing (4 large screens overhead, w/ images cast onto it from behind, I think.) that reflected the moode, and a second level that comes forward. Good acting, etc. Could even see at the spit as everyone spewed their valiant words of love and vengeance and angst. And Cassius was *hot*. wow. And the replacement Cascus as well. Made me happy when they spoke together.
Of course, I always get reflective when I'm sitting in a yellow schoolbus with my roommate 3 rows off talking with girl down the hall. So I was thinking about my lack of personality, or rather, my confused personality and lack of ability to express it. Sometimes I feel like a mirror or a black hole. Or when I do try, I come out too strong and start scaring people away.
okay, so during lunch, I consulted Anyu about the whole Asian social customs thing. He said it's b/c Chinese adults can't take money from children, so by asking them to buy this, they are obligated to pay for it. Ooops. Geez, why does it have to be so complicated? Welp, they invited me to New Year's dinner with them. Maybe I can go early and help cook, and also give the kid some New Year's money. Ugh, where's some mud for this little piggy to wallow in?
On the bright side, I have concocted strategy to survive the quarter. Well, at least next week.

Lighting..? Well, it's a very minimalist set. There's a long hallway reaching way into the back, and then there's the sky thing. During the battle, it's like a city-plan drenched in red. And Caesar's ghost was in the sky, too. They did some nice night/storm lighting, especially when the plotters revealed themselves. And the platform of the hallway moved. Just to clarify, this is a Globe Theatre stage, so it's a low platform that stretches into the audience, so deep sets work well.
