After a single run-through rehearsal, I performed with several other actors in a staged reading of Professor Feinstein's still-unfinished Dramatic Agitato No. 37. I got to speak three lines of broken, approximated-from-Google-Translate Russian. Thank goodness the performance aspect of the course is over, and apologies to Iris and Jennifer for coming at all. Afterward, Ryan, Chris, Heather, Amy and Alaric joined me in the basement for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. It's a decently good, decently funny movie with a surprising number of stars - Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, Alan Rickman, Brian Blessed, Christian Slater and Sean Connery!
Quotes of the day:
"In Russia, man do not kiss man. In Russia, man finish play. This is good idea." - me
"You're just a grumpy Russian clarinet player." - Professor Feinstein
"Da, comrade, comrade, comrade, da." - Jeff
"The gateway drug to personal blogging." - Lindsey, on Xanga
"Andy, if you could scoot down here I'll give you a rub." - Amy
"It's okay, my ass is so tight it doesn't matter." - Amy
...
Me: "That sword is enormous. That's really impractical."
Amy: "Maybe he's compensating for something."
Me: "Alan Rickman?"
Amy: "Yeah, never mind."
