Tuesday the Second (and also the twenty-ninth)

It's really fucking early. Like, you cannot even comprehend how ungodly early it is. See, despite the fact that normally I am a rational person, I somehow made this crazy ass decision to have a class downtown at ten, which I have to be like half an hour early for. And I have to take the train, which will take about an hour and a half. Plus an hour of getting up, and half an hour of getting to the goddamn train. Seriously. WTF?

Anyways, it's Tuesday, if you weren't already aware. I am half asleep and I have a sunburn (I get one every year at Pride. It's like a really shit tradition), but I am still writing you this post, because if I don't do it now, I will forget. See how much I love you all?

For those of you who don't know, Chicago Gay Pride is a little insane. It's basically an excuse for all the hot gay guys to get mostly naked and display themselves on lots and lots (and LOTS) of elaborate floats. Now, the thing about the Pride parade is that it's really fucking crowded. Like, imagine being surrounded by a hundred people. Now imagine you're all in a bathroom stall. And it's insanely hot. That's Pride. But it's fun, cause you get lots of free shit. Anyways, that was my weekend.

Today in History:

In 1613 the Globe Theatre in London burned to the ground during a performance of Henry VIII. They were using a cannon for special effects, and they accidentally hit the roof, which caught on fire. I think this would easily win "Most Badass Shakespeare Production of the Century".

On a completely unrelated note, the internet at my current residence is unbelievably slow. It's not even slow, it's beyond slow. It's fucking glacial.

Anyways, to Child's questions.

1) Don't even talk about the overabundance of Starbucks until you've been to Seattle.

2) 'Make up'? Is that like code for 'steal'?

3) Hmm... Probably other than this girl who I knew that isn't like famous but she's the most amazing person I've ever known and I love her, I don't know. Honestly, I think it's just her. She's incredible.

4) I'd double major in Jurisprudence and Philosophy, with a minor in Economics, at Oxford.

And the questions for Wednesday:

1) Any good sunburn remedies?

2) What's your favourite Shakespeare? (And if you say Romeo& Juliet, you will not escape unscathed. That shit is obnoxious.)

3) Favourite TV show (that hasn't been on the air for at least five years) (and yes that counts Firefly, cause it's been eight years)?

Also, how many of you watch Doctor Who? Because that finale was the shit.

And on a related note, I cannot adequately express my love for James Marsters.

Have a good Tuesday!
