Mixed Readings

Well... I enjoyed both sets of readings. Particurally the Butler readings, they got pretty twisted, and it was fun to see the meaning behind it all at the end. Yet I realize why the Butler readings would have been grouped with Diaries of a Madman. Not just because they are from Asia, but more because of the fact that there is a well defined point to the twisted aspect of the story.

Sorry this is late... I was eating human liver

First, my appologies for this one being a bit late. Second, awesome story this week. I think that it really shows the beauty of the human mind. At my job I deal with people that have mental orders such as delusions, and paranoia. So I have seen a person like this first hand. Our minds are a vast connection of neurons, millions and millions of tiny electrical connections that piece together the understanding we have of our world today. Not every person is connected the same. To this man the thought that people were eating other people and even he had done so, could be totaly logical to him. Basically to sum things up, while we may understand parts of people, our own minds are the only true thing that we can not conquer.

Iago... Cage Fight

Well... Thats it for Shakespear's Othello. And I was skimming my latest posts thing and I saw someone comparing it to a soap. You are on the money. No joke, like only in this story or a soap, would someone get away with all this like Iago did. I mean, granted some characters pull out a butter knife and cut another character... but really, I've seen kindergartners get more intense. Well, maybe not, but just trying to have some fun. But on to the point of my title... If someone rewrote Shakespear in today-speak, it would be so much cooler. Like Othello at the end could've just simply challenged Iago to a cage fight to the death... Thats intense. Or Cassio, Othello, Iago, and Rodergio could all cage fight just for fun. Last person standing gets to drink with the clown and the minstrels from the second part of Othello we read. Watch it, the clown gets saucy.
