* A year ago, we had just finished performing Love's Labour's Lost, at the little Charlbury Baptist Church in Charlbury, Oxfordshire, England. Can you imagine, less than a year ago and it seems like worlds away in so many different aspects. For those of you who don't know, I spent last spring, my final semester of university, studying abroad at Oxford University. (Well, sort of). My limited acting ability made me ideal for the minor role of Holofernes, the schoolmaster. Too bad I don't have my pictures, you could see production in all it's glory. Very fond memories.
* We just finished watching the first series of The Office. Hilarious. Really, truly funny. Which just makes the fact that NBC is making an american version all the more outrageous. It actually makes me laugh to think that they have the audacity to think they can copy it. Americans doing British comedy? As if. The whole reason the office works is the very British concept of humor used in it. Next the Americans will try to steal "Royal Canadian Air Farce" from the the Canadians. The United States has many wonderful forms of humor perfected, Adam Sandler and the Simpsons are two that come to mind. To each country their own. Enjoy the diversity and don't steal! (An interesting article from the CBC on why the new Office doesn't work.)
* I had fresh strawberries with milk pudding (a Taiwanese thing, I believe) for desert tonight. Yummy.
