Learning lines, taking a break

Beloved man, beloved tomb
Beloved one we buried
Aidonaios, bring him up,
raise him, Aidonaios

It's a fun play.

No matter how many times I do this stuff, I never know how it is I remember lines. I don't know any tricks, and I'm bad at learning them by route. it just seems that one day they're not there, and the next they are.

Unfortunately I've missed rehearsals through being ill and can't afford to wait for the magic moment this time, so am learning by route. I'm glad I've been left alone at work so I can at least say the lines out loud.

I've started a new fun project by the way, which I hope will really take off in earnest after this performance. I've decided to finally sit down and watch a bunch of movies that i feel I should have seen by now, me being me, but either haven't or saw them when I was too young to "get" them. I am also incorperating into this films that are on now. I started this a few days ago and plan to just make a note of what I've seen occasionally to keep track. Anyone who wants to reccommend something please feel free, also I may be putting stuff here more often about seeing films, so anyone who wants to join me in my endeavour is more than welcome!

SEEN THIS WEEK:
Kung-fu Hussle (Funny, and awesome cartoonish violence)
Låt den rätte komma in (Let the Right One In) (LOVED it! If you've not seen it and you love a good horror go see it on the big screen)
Meet Me In St Louis (Not much happens, but it's pretty and colourful and has Judy Garland in it singling the trolley song)

I've got a bunch of dvds at home which I hope to make my way through in the next week, then more coming after that. I like this project, I think it will be fun!

Watching dvds with you sounds like a thoroughly enjoyable pastime (especially in weather like this)! If you're ever after company, do email or sms me! Otherwise I shall just keep an eye out for announcements on your LJ, when I get time to keep up with my FList... ;-)

Have you seen Wall-e?

I have seen Wall-e and think it is the best Pixar film to date, which after how much I loved Monsters Inc is a pretty big call!

I shall make sure to include you in any smses sent out looking for movie going company! :-)

Sensible idea with the movie thing - especially if you're like me, and always have people saying "What do you mean you've never seen X" If you ever want movie watching company, sing out!

Oh, and glad you liked Let the Right One In! Like I told you, the Rowdy has the book if you're interested (and aren't squeamish about violence, vampirism, pedophilia, and um, a few others things).
