Amphigouri: varnished nonsense

Today’s useless online quiz:

Which Peanuts Character Are You?
	You are part Charlie Brown. You are always optimistic and persistent, and everyone appreciates your simple sweetness. Sometimes, however, your anxieties get the best of you, and life’s mysteries can confuse you.
	You are part Schroeder. You are brilliant, ambitious, and brooding; you tackle tasks with extreme focus. People don’t always interest you as much as other pursuits, though, so you can come off as aloof.

I first read Hamlet when I was in high school during the year Dad was my English teacher. I loved it. Studied it again my first year at Colby for a Freshman Seminar course on “The Fate of Being Human”, and have seen three movie versions of the play (hate Gibson; love Branagh; alas, can’t remember Olivier). I’ve only once seen it performed live, however; something I’d like to experience again.

This blurb from The Stage about the Royal Shakespeare Company’s upcoming season makes me wanna put on my travelin’ shoes:

Gregory Doran will revive his production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and direct Tennant in both Hamlet and Love’s Labour’s Lost, in which he will play Hamlet and Berowne respectively. Patrick Stewart will also feature as Claudius in Hamlet, while an ensemble of actors will be cross-cast across all three plays. It is expected that Hamlet will later transfer to London.

Sigh. How FREAKIN’ AWESOME would it be to see Doctor Who and Jean-Luc Picard in one of my favoritest plays evah?
