I had a great night last night. Another great discussion in Shakespeare class. The narrative poems were a bigger hit than I thought they would be and there was much to discuss. I got some inspiration from both the poems and the discussion– now I have many creative writing ideas to pursue based off the poems. I also may have a partner for my final project for that class. My professor was asking me about my final project– she is urging me to do a performance project. A classmate overheard and asked if we could work on the final project together and we can. It seems this classmate is interested in working with me. Of course I shared one of the ideas I was thinking about–turning the poem The Rape of Lucrece into a play, a dramatic production (the seminar is all about asking the question if Shakespeare had a theory of drama and how he went about exploring it in his work)– and all three of us (me, my classmate, and my professor) were all fired up with the ways it could be pulled off. Fun, fun!
Then I went to work. Have I mentioned before how much I love the people I work with? I probably have, ha. I truly do work with a great bunch of people and we laugh and laugh at work (when not pissed off at rude customers and/or our mean store manager, ha–okay, we laugh about those too). I made a funny last night, well more than one but this is the one that sticks out:
The two guys I was working with were talking about an upcoming Star Wars movie and then of course went on to talk about all the other Star Wars movies (and I think there was some Star Trek in there too). I was listening to their conversation thinking “Nerds!” hahaha, and they couldn’t believe it when I told them I had never seen any of the movies. My manager said, “What do you mean you have never seen the WORST movie series ever made?” The other kid that was working was aghast, “I grew up watching that series!” He loves it apparently. I replied, “I grew up watching Little House on the Prairie!” HA! Then we all cracked up. My manager, through his laughter, said, “I am sorry.” He was probably thinking, “Nerd!”
I don’t know, I guess you had to be there. LOL.
