Fuckin' blog


Man I don't really wanna blog today, but I've come so far. I'm a slave to it most of the time. But i gotta keep up, right?

Ya know, nothing really happened today. Nothing. Nothing! We had class. It was a bit different cause acting and movement switched places, so we had ballet followed by movement. So that was weird...

Gah! Am I done yet?

I really think this is all I got.

OH I know! YESTERDAY we saw a pretty cool play called Don Kihot. Not Don Quiote, but Don Kihot. But it wasn't performed by actors...it was performed by designers. No words, just actions and very crazy designs, but they did it all on stage just like any other performance.

The most amazing part of it was when they put up this sheet across the stage and they had a single flashlight behind it to cast silhouettes on the two actors performing an operation on a giant skeleton. They would do part of the operation on the foot, for instance, and then on the head. But the interesting thing was that the guy holding the flashlight would do the moving for the most part. So while the actors were doing very small movements, the shadows were dashing everywhere...it was one of the most inventive and creative things I've seen!

Man that story didn't capture this at all. Screw it...my day wasn't very interesting. Deal with it...I did.

Here's a picture of a bird.

Russia Fun Fact: So Tverskaya, which is the street we walk down everyday, is so busy that you can't cross the street above ground. They have these little walkways underneath the street. but these aren't just walkways, they have little shops on one side of most every tunnel. There's a particularly long one that we walk through on our way to class and Rob pointed out that you could buy a phone card, donut, watch, tights, flowers, replica revolver and a katana....all within about 15 feet. They're crammed into these tiny six foot wide shops that hold all these goods. Them Russian people are CARAZY!
