Shakespeare anyone?

So I have found another obsession... the Reduced Shakespeare Company! you have to watch or listen to there stuff, it is simply hilarious. They have a bunch of other reduced plays other than Shakespeare: The Bible, All the Great Book, and Hollywood. Here is a sampling...

"Here's the story of a brother by the name of Othello, he liked white women and he liked green jello. And this punk named Iago who made himself a menace who didn't like Othello, the moor of Venice.
And Othello got married to Desdemona. He took off for the wars and left her alone-a. It was a moan-a. A groan-a. He left her alone-a. He didn't write a letter and he didn't telephone-a.
Now, Desdemona, she was faithful, she was chastity tight she was the daughter of a duke yeah she was totally white.
And Iago loved Desi like Adonis loved Venus and Desi loved Othello 'cause he had a big--sword!
Iago says, I'm gonna shaft the moor. How you gonna do it? Tell us. Well, I know his tragic flaws, and he's too damn jealous. He's a dupe, a dope, a kind of schmo. So he found a trump sucker by the name of Cassio. And he plants on him Desdemona's handkerchief.
So Othello gets to wonderin' just maybe if while he'd been out fightin' commandin' an army are Desi and Cass playin' hide the salami? S-s-s-s-salami!
So he comes back home, he's got the pillow in her face. He kills her and soliloquizes 'bout his disgrace. But theres Emilia at the door, who we met in act IV, who say, you big dummy, she werent no whore. She was pure, she was clean, she was virginal, too. So whyd you have to go and make her face turn blue? Its true! Its you! Now what you gonna do?
And Othello says, Damn! This is getting pretty scary! Pulled out his blade and committed Hari-Kari. Huh! Do that funky moor thing, white boy.
Iago got caught, but he probably copped a plea. Loaded up his bags, and moved to Beverly. Hills that is."

Chalking it Up...

So yesterday the famous Sidewalk Sam came to Simmons to help celebrate Women’s College Week. This year Sidewalk Sam, his minions, and a huge group of Simmons students worked together to create a replica of “The Music Lesson” by Henry Matisse.

Sidewalk and I hit it off right away once we figured out that we shared a name and a love for art! It was love at fist sight :p as most of you know I am a sucker for facial hair… hahahaha.It was such an amazing experience watching a variety of students who in any other circumstance would never thing of working together, let alone painting together. It showed what was “good with America—cooperation!” --Sidewalk Sam

Ode to Nutella....

Oh this is a fun one...

So I have officially decided that Nutella is pretty much the best food know to man. I love it so much that I have chosen to go online and write a post about it.

But seriously, how can anyone not like Nutella, unless they are allergic to nuts, then I can understand it.

Today I was really craving it so I braved the SNOW to get some at Star. Yes, I walked in the snow! I hate snow, the only thing I hate more is sleet, and thank God that it isn't sleeting out.

It was worth it though. While I was at Star I also bought some Club Crackers to go with the Nutella. The chocolaty-nutty spread goes perfectly with the light/buttery Club Crackers. Though I wish I had some of Kelly's zucchini bread to spread this goodness on. Or maybe if I had warm croissants to spread it on that would be amazing too.

As you probably have guessed, I have 3 huge projects that are due in the coming weeks and this is a means of procrastination. Just humor me and don't judge... you all know that procrastination is a wonderful thing and you all do it once and awhile.

I also think it is amusing that I have written more in this post than I have for my Thesis + Outline that is due next Tuesday for Margaret's Renaissance class. I should probably get my self into gear and get over to the BPL this weekend and finish my research. However, I doubt that is going to happen today, and Saturday I am busy from 9am to 3. And the Library is at Copley, and all the books are "in library use only"; so either I spend $20 and make copies, or I sit there for hours upon hours on the crazy/scary 3rd floor special library and read there.

Oh, and I should tell everyone that I am officially working at the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum at the volunteer desk. I have my second half of training tomorrow and then I get to help people find their way around Izzy house! Isabella Gardener and I are tight. That is why I call her Izzy. I am at her house 3 times a week, sometimes more if there is a special lecture happening (yes, i know that she died almost 80 years ago, but I think she still has a huge presence in the museum and people should recognize that fact). I am so excited! It has been a dream of mine since I was like 8 years old to work there, and I am there!!

Well, I should get some work done... toodles
