ummmmmm citation needed for the models eating paper thing. i've heard of ppl drinking tons of water while dieting to feel more full, eating paper seems like it a) wouldn't make you feel that full b) would wreak havoc in your digestive system |

Vonnegut fan... you should really read his nonfiction stuff, Arti. "A Man Without A Country" is especially good, his humor is wonderfully dry and acerbic. |

I'm a huge Virginia Woolf fan, Hemingway when I'm drunk, Hesse when I'm feeling philosophical. I've worn out my copies of Slaughterhouse Five and Brave New World, and The Stranger. I like Jeffrey Eugenides' work and this summer I'm gonna try out some Phillip K. Dick. |

Have you read Twain's Mysterious Stranger? I remember seeing a clay animation about that and it creeped me out. |

I have. I read it very shortly after reading Goethe's Faust so it was double the demons for me that week haha. There's a claymation of The Mysterious Stranger? Creepy. |

Yeaaaah. The end bit, too. Speaking of philosophical things, have you read any Samuel Beckett? Waiting for Godot is my favourite, and my friend recently asked me to show up to a presentation he was doing about analysing the use of the stage in Beckett's plays, and it kinda rekindled my liking for how he really utilises the medium of theatre. |

I've read Waiting for Godot and I've actually seen a production of Endgame. I like both tremendously but enjoy Tom Stoppard's absurdist approach a little more. Some plays are good to read but better to watch, some are the opposite. |

Personally I prefer watching most of them because I feel like the stages don't properly translate from paper to your mind, and watching them you can really appreciate how he planned things out. I like how the sets grow progressively smaller until there's literally just one guy in a room listening to a cassette tape of him recalling his life; it weaves a pretty good thread throughout his pieces. I've seen Waiting for Godot and Endgame and I've watched a few more film versions of his plays as well, which I think are also done pretty well. I can draw up a few on YouTube if you want the links. |

Sure, I would like. Some works I'm really interested in seeing how the setting of the play can physically transform the watcher's world into the one the playwright envisions, but sometimes I prefer to just read the text and imagine the set, the transitions, and voice inflections for myself. I feel that way about some of the Shakespeare plays, actually. |

I'll go give them a quick search, then. Please wait patiently, lol. Shakespeare plays I prefer to read, because I don't think the setting is as crucial to the idea of the play as it is in Beckett's works. I feel like the stage is vital to what he's trying to express and that he goes beyond simply writing a narrative, whereas Shakespeare is all about the dialogue and the story, which I think are better conveyed through script than through acting. |

I think that's very true of his tragedies, to be sure. For some reason, though, I love to watch productions of The Tempest over reading it. And thanks! |

I prefer watching his comedies, but I agree that his tragedies do seem to have an extra impact in my imagination than they do when seeing real people play parts. I think it's because actors don't necessarily perform the way I envision to be the most apt for the scene, so it's more punchy and dramatic when I'm seeing how I want it to be, if that makes sense. And here; Waiting for Godot Endgame Krapp's Last Tape (Pinter): 01 ◆ 02 ◆ 03 ◆ 04 ◆ 05
I'm good. And yourself? |

Catching up with The Economist. Not got a chance to read it lately. And, again, how about yourself? Everything's smooth sailing, I hope? @Writing Anon Nonsense, we are awesome. We pullin' da pussy. :gaypimp: But it's with catnip. =_= |

Your sonnet game is so damn raw. I hope she appreciated. It's better than ripping out something from some Benedick/Beatrice banter. "I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow" or something, lol.
Thanking you kindly, Anon. Have a nice day. |

Well it worked, because she kissed me. That's all I really cared about at the time lol. And breaking out the Much Ado only works on someone who has read it, I think. |

As long as it worked, lol. I'd try it, but I think I'd only get a kiss with a fist. ![]() I'm gonna head to sleep after I finish up this article on BitCoin, though. GOOD NIGHT. It was great talking with you! Good luck with your finals, and hope you enjoy the YouTube links. |
