Twelfth Night: Damn you continuity!
|
Just come back from the play. Everything went really well, considering we only saw the space (ironic) at about 9.30 this morning! I had a lecture aswell inbetween which was quite interesting.
Everything building up to the performance was rushed:
We had not run through our lines
We had to build a bench
We had to organise cues
We had to organise lighting
We had to organise photos
Makeup (Did not take as long as I thought to get my hair done)
We were doing our tech run 20 minutes before the audience arrived.
The bench scene worked really well
However, Act V began with a problem, me and Rachel ran on too early and straight into Dan who was clearing the set away. Rachel pushed him away leaving the bench behind. Luckily, I managed to push the bench towards the wall in order to create space for everyone else.

Groundhog Week

I have become an Insomniac
For the past week my days have consisted of getting up at 11-12 o'clock, doing bugger all for a bit and then rehearsing at 5 till 9.30. I just can't sleep properly. I think its because I am excited about this play, I really am. Its weird because its something I don't usually feel.
I went to bed at about 12.30 and I still cant sleep. One of the main reasons is that the bastard in the flat above me is watching the Lord of the Rings, and as I am a big fan I know exactly where and when they are in the film.
However, to pass the time when trying to get to sleep I have pondered over the following things:
1)My lines for Twelth Night
2)The Definition of God
3)The book I am currently reading (Murder Room)
4)Praying that they are not playing the extended version of The Return of the King
Today I have got a rehearsal at the Cambrian for 1 O'clock, yay!

Weve got the house!
We just signed the documents this evening.
We got them to rewrite the contract the night before though.
I finished my exams today as well (bonus). The questions were good but I dont think I did very well.

I am going to rename this town Sin City.
Cumella arrived on Friday (same train as Jon's bird)and I showed him around Aber. However, in the evening I went to a rehearsal down at the Old College and left Mr C at the flat on chat.
Afterwards we went to a few pubs with Craig before heading back to the flat. I walked with Craig back to the seafront and left at 2.30am. I made it back to the flat for 4.00am. What transpired between those times will be one of my most unforgetable and surreal moments of uni life.
In short, me and two people I met (one of them a mate from Drama) witnessed an attempted assault with a sword. Interesting.
The film Sin City -which is due to be released this year- has a trailer which I feel epitomises Aberystwyth. Please feel free to watch it.
Trying to do practice papers at the moment. Exams on 19th and 20th. Wahoo.
Still trying to read Murder Room by PD James, hard going though.
Just tried on some of my costume in rehearsals. Not as funny as everyone elses. One girl looks like a baked Alaska.
The icing on the cake is a letter I have just received stating that I have been randomly picked to send in my GCSE certificates as verification that I have not fluked my way through education.

Did a bit today.
Got up went and handed in my video practical essay.
Sorted out my library book fiasco. They had actually got the book which sort of takes the piss.
I had to go and find the book and match with its bar code. Fortunately I was exempt from the fine.
Watched Ice Age again, put some pictures up in the kitchen.
Going out to Scholars later.
2nd Round

Just been and checked if the loan has been payed through. Pissing it down with rain.
Christmas was good. Went to the Roman Baths, interesting and the Bull Ring, bloody howge!.
Before Christmas went shopping with me brother in town. Saw Rory but he blanked me. Probably didn't recognise the hair (my arse) he he.
Worked the Sunday after I came back. Nice to be back there. Been a mass inflation of prices on the spirits by 10p.
Worked New Years Eve, absolutely mental! As soon as it hit 12 we did a massive conga line around the bar and restaurant. Still don't know the words to Aud Langs Syne?!
Unfortunately the cat died which started the new year with positive optimism.
Got new DVDs: Eddie Izzard: Dressed to Kill, Edward Scissorhands (Bull Ring), Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Bath), Ice Age (Bull Ring), Return of the King EE, Monty Python, Shaun of the Dead (Bull Ring), Withnail and I (Bull Ring).
Walked the dogs with Chivers & Pip (Toto Anhilatation Chivers), Harty & Beu, Kate, Rob and Cumella in Shrawley woods. Like Homeward Bound 3. Buried Pip in leaves. She almost floated downstream. Had a drink in the New Inn Pub played Killer Pool (came 2nd).
Had a meal with Fain and Benny in Chesters.
Saw Emily in Safeways (shopping with Mum and Jon) said that Uni doesn't properly start until end of month (bollocks) because of exams. So I feel a bit I dunno.
Don't know what to do. Might watch Ice Age later.
Mum decided to rechange my room. Spent last half hour trying to find where the hell everything is.
Craig is back and Sam will be here on Wednesday. Got a text from Cumella. He's coming on Friday till Sunday.
