Yes, I hate to admit it, but I realized tonight that I'm becoming a complete geek. It hit me when I was reading Hugh Blair's critique of the style of Mr. Addison--and I realized that I was enjoying it immensely. Mr. Blair's work, full of praise (yet not without criticism) for Addison, was truly interesting and delighting me. Dude, that was freaky! Perhaps I ought to get a pair of glasses with my current prescription so I can start wearing them all the time. Anyway, besides that, I'm really getting out of shape, and I have been neglecting the athletic pursuits (read: I ain't been working out or playin' ball enough). I have started working out regularly again, however, and today I played pick-up basketball with some guys, which was enough to convince me that I haven't lost my competitive drive, at least.
In other news, I just got some more pictures of Macbeth from Ben Gibson (thanks, Ben!), two of which I shall now post for your amusement and instruction (well, okay, maybe not instruction, but it sounded good).

Re: The last pic
Awwwwwww. So cute! Warm fuzzies :-)
Wouldst be so kind as to forward any and all Macbeth pics to me? :-D If you need more, they're all on my get file.
Girls get a power high from applying makeup to men. Believe me - I once had a freshmen attempt to poke my eyeballs out with a thing euphemistically called "eyeshadow pencil."
I'm already getting nervous about probably P&P torture.
This is an interesting point you bring up, Josh. I'm sure as Sir William you'll need a lot of alteration for wrinkles and such. Maybe I should tell Lisa I'm willing to help with makeup application. . .;)

Josh, will you put that "eye almost lost to a marauding freshman girl with an eyebrow pencil" story to rest??
I guess we know the secret to his strength now, ladies . . . what an easy way to get a man's knees knocking. *pulls out eyebrow pencil and approaches Red Hill with a malicious grin*
::laughs and rolls eyes:: Gentlemen, I am thrilled y'all don't want to wear makeup and astounded at your griping on those occasions it's necessary.
It's not a power play on the part of all females, but y'all's reaction is an appeal to sin nature, like making a fuss about pink shirts and bow ties: if you complain, it will give us a huge incentive to inflict it on you as frequently as possible. (We're not perfectly sanctified, alas!)
Stage makeup is not that big a deal. Really. You're men enough to handle it. You're the ones who run round with three-foot blades and wrestle each other on balcones and stuff. :-)
And yes, anonymous, I've consciously obsessed about that story for a full year now. Sorry, it's just the Wooster in me. :-]
You liked that reading??????
Ummmmmmmm.... ok.............
"Here, we can see that the author is using HORRIBLE prose! Why did such a good writer as him use the word "the" in this case? This is unthinkable!"
Carolyn, I'm perfectly willing to subject myself to wearing makeup for a proper cause (the only one of which I can think is a play), but believe me, chasing someone around with a hunk of steel while yelling at the top of your lungs is a lot more fun than having makeup put on you, precisely because it's so much more dangerous.
And Kenny, if nothing else, you should at least think Blair is funny.
Nathan: Absolutely on the sword thing. Running and screaming with the sword goes way beyond the application of cosmetics on the "enjoyment" meter. In fact, I don't think cosmetics even rate.
*sigh* I miss the stage fights. I miss directing the stage fights. I want a violent play.
