I have all these new shinys!! It makes me exceedingly happy. Oh, and we played "Hamlet! - A Game in Five Acts" tonight. 'Twas so much fun. An excerpt from the rule book...
Introduction - So there's this kid named Hamlet, see. His dad dies under mysterious circumstances and his uncle marries his mom. Did I mention that Hamlet is the Prince of Denmarl and that his uncle is now King? So, anyway, he goes home to find his dad's ghost telling him to avenge his death.
So, Hamlet fakes being insane to make sure that his uncle really did the deed, alienating his girlfriend and two childhood friends along the way. He kills his girlfriend's father and is sent to England. While in England, his girlfriend goes insane and kills herself and his two friends sing "Hakuna Matata" and then die.
Right, so Hamlet returns from England where he faces his girlfriend's brother who blames Hamlet for everything from his father's death to the dot-com bust. They fight and both of them die, but not before Hamlet kills his uncle and his mom commits suicide.
To wrap up this happyu tale, a guy named Fortinbrad from Norway invades out of nowhere. With practically nobody left in Denmark, they take over. Yay, Norway! Then the curtain falls and you get a C- on your book report.
At least that's how Shakespeare wrote it. Well, except for the "Hakuna Matata" part, althought Ophelia does sing at one point. Really.
Tee, alright done being a geek now. Actually no wait, I'm not. I'm also going to put in a cute quote from the scene Star and I were running for Tempest the other day. Jeanne is playing Adi, Star is playing a mafia guy named Tony.
Jeanne - So, which family are you with then?
Star - I told you my last name.
Jeanne - *out of character* No you didn't!
Star - *out of character* I said Tony LastNameHere, close enough.
Right well I'm tired and my head is spinning from my latest sneeze. Ouch. Going to bed now.*hugs* Cyberspace - thank you for always listening, no matter how tired and babbling I am.
PS: Apparently I'm a crisisgeek. Didn't know they existed did you? Well they do. And apparently the qualifications for being one are understanding my bad bad jokes about elephants in rooms. Email me if you care. If not, proceed to shake you head at me in my insanity.
