Baaaaaby....

My niece has a name. Evangeline Jane. She is beautiful, naturally.

I'm fairly certain I had other interesting things with which to regal you all, but I can't remember what it is.

Oh, I know...Did I mention I am going to New York this Sunday to see Patrick Stewart in Macbeth? 'Cause I am! I am very excited. Patrick Stewart! As Macbeth! Can it get better?

Well, Patrick Stewart as Claudius and David Tennant as Hamlet would be pretty fraking awesome, but I don't think that is going to happen any time soon. Sigh.

So. Yay for Macbeth. I said we ought to stand by the stage door and hand Patrick Stewart a poster for OUR play. Just for fun.

I am excited for the next Doctor Who. Agatha Christie. I remember reading somewhere that she actually tried to have her husband killed by framing him for her own murder, but I don't know if that's true, or an urban legend.

Yes, I'm rambling now. I'm tired. the downstairs neighbors had some sort of flaming row at 3am and woke me up. It was scary. Downside of not having a house.

Anyway...have a nice weekend everyone.

You missed the part about I'm not a Star Trek fan and the only thing I know Patrick Stewart from is when he played Frasier's would-be gay lover in the final season of Frasier. :) I'm sure he's great, but I have no natural squee-response to him.

I just think it would be awesome to see a Shakespearean actor of his caliber in a Shakespearean play. The Star Trek connection is just kind of the icing on the cake. ;)

I guess now would be the time to admit that I'm dumb enough that I didn't really know he was any more of a Shakespearean actor than is Kelsey Grammer, except I thought he was better at it. I had thought he was someone who made his name on Star Trek and then got to do some Shakespeare because he had a big, crowd-drawing name, and turned out to be good at it. I don't know much about him, obviously.

Here's me answering to everything...He actually started out with the RSC (Royal Shakespeare Company) way back when. He was in Dune, too, with Sting, and I remember wondering if they talked at all since Patrick Stewart and Sting's ex-wife were in the RSC at the same time.

Okay, that just sounded strange, didn't it...

:) It sounds like you are a fangirl, and fangirls, unless their fangirling is of the twelve-year-old's variety, are just about my favorite people in the whole entire world. :)

Have you seen Patrick Stewart in Extras? SO funny. In case you haven't, here.

Not knowing about some random dude who was in X-Men definitely does not make you dumb. ;) I'm sorry if that was the impression I gave!

I think my knowledge of the careers of Shakespearean actors is a specialized bit of trivia brought on by (a) the fact that I've been a fan of Star Trek since I was ten, (b) the fact that I've been a fan of Shakespeare since I was fourteen, and (c) the fact that I minored in theatre during my undergrad. Oh and (d), my mum, who insists that everything English is better than everything else, ever. ;)

:) No, it wasn't you. My brain is prone to shouting mean things at me right now, but that's def. not your fault.

All of those things come together to ensure that you know lots about Shakespeare, but they also come together to ensure that you are AWESOME. :) Srsly.

Come to think of it, I've seen both Kesley Grammer AND Patrick Stewart play Macbeth on Broadway.
