Another summer of Shakespeare in the park in over.  I'm sad, of course, but also relieved.  It's hard work, I tell ya, and when your closing matinee temperature is in the upper 80s it's very hard work.  Still, we had great audiences who gave generous donations; we had a fantastic cast and crew who bonded like few I've ever known; we had a fantastic, fun, and fulfilling summer.

Now I need a week-long nap.  ::zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz::

And then I need to get pics from this year so I can make some more icons.  :D
monkeybard: (Boy)
What is so difficult about using the proper pronouns when writing, or indeed when speaking?  Why is this so difficult for so many people these days?  I'm reading a story that just included the following sentence of dialogue: "If you don’t hear from either George or I, head straight for the Zanga village." . . . Me.  The proper pronoun in this case is "me". ME, ME, ME!  Fucking-a, why is this so fucking difficult?!  It pulled me straight out of the story.  Admittedly I'm a little tired of the story right now anyway.  It's very good, but it's like watching a tv show with this great A-story and absolutely no B-story.  It's unbalanced, and that makes it a little boring, IMO.  It's a shame because otherwise I've really liked it (despite some other odd grammatical choices).  ::sigh::
