the hipster quiz

I totally failed. I'm 47% hipster. Go figure. I thought I was hip. The one question the survey is missing is: Do you run a blog?*

Last night i dragged my parents to a play at the Alley Theater. We caught the 8:00 pm performance of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.” I’ve never read the play and knew nothing about it, but I’m a fan of most of Shakespeare’s plays and figured it would be a nice change of pace from the usual Saturday evening activity: a movie.

I found the play a total riot but I don’t think my parents understood what was going on – they’re not down with the Shakespearean English. My dad nodded off during the first half but perked up when the story gained momentum. All the gender twisting/sexual innuendos made for some serious hilarity and awkward moments. The cast did a good job of bringing the characters to life; the actress playing Olivia turned her character from an icy 'lady of the house' into a silly horn-ball. I might just do some investigative work to see if plays of this nature are being performed in San Antonio.


*running a blog might not be hip anymore, and I probably don’t have the authority to make that call anyway…

it was originally a play but i've only seen it as a movie - have you seen "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead"? It takes two of the most minor roles in Hamlet and tells this whole story just about them. oh yeah, and along the way accidentally discover and describe all sorts of scientific constants (like displacement of water and flotation, objects of different masses fall at the same rate, etc.). It stars Gary Oldman as Rosencrantz and Tim Roth as Guildenstern. Ginormously hi-larious.
