Just under halfway through Taming of the Shrew and wow, it's worse to read than Midsummer. I actually went and sat in the kitchen to stop the internets distracting me, read solid for a good couple of hours (minus a few flatmate interruptions) and still wasn't getting anywhere fast. Have I mentioned this essay has to be written by Tuesday night? *Finished* by then? And I haven't even started critical reading or a plan or research...

Doooooooooooooooooom, doooooooooooooooooom. Bury me somewhere pretty 'k?

Trying to persuade myself that watching Ten Things I Hate About You is not an adequate substitute for actually reading the text. Failing in that. Seriously failing. Though you know... *checks* no, my copy is at least watchable, ignoring a little fuzz. Curses. I'm meant to be working!

In other Tales of Procrastination, was skipping through my program from when we went to see Shrew a couple of months back and the biography on my favourite actor (*points to icon*) from it mentioned a series called Broken News. Investigation of play.com and IMDb proved it not only fantastically cheap but also starring Indira Varma who I've taken a fondness to. So I bought it. Yes, because I need more distractions.

Hopefully it won't get here until next Tuesday/Wednesday and will be my reward for finishing my essay on time. Finishing. The. Essay. On. Time. Clo. Make a note of that.

And you're doing so excellently well at encouraging me to read Shakespeare :P

*grins* I can now say for definite, don't read Shrew. Not so much with the fun. It's made me more fond of Midsummer Night's... though! They aren't all dull. Only some of them. ;)

I shall if I can find our 'collected works'.
