Hamlet

Dad and I just finished a Hamlet fest. We started with Lawrence Oliver's 1947-8 movie. Then we watched Kevin Klines version. Then Mel Gibson. Then BBC with Dereck Jacobi. Then Kenneth Branaugh. Then Rosencranz and Guildenstern are dead by Tom Stoppard. Then Ethan Hawke. At the same time reading Harold Blooms critique. Its been wonderful.

Today Mom and I had a pedicure and a manicure. The young girl who did me was competent but surly. I asked her if this is what she would like to do for a career. No, she is going to study next year. What are you going to study? Mortuary Science.
