Of the possibility of meeting David Archuleta

Tomorrow is the American Idol concert in St. Louis, Missouri.

This is the sign that I made:

P7170039

  Yes, I am crazyinsane.  (David will hopefully sign on the bottom left or right.)  This is so much fun.  I totally can't believe I'm going to the concert.

I love doing random fun things.  I also made a shirt.

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing / Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Viva la Vida, by Coldplay

I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sleep alone

Sweep the streets I used to o w n

 

I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listen as the crowd would s i n g ,
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key

Next the walls were closed on me

And I discovered that my castles stand

Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand

 

I hear Jerusalem b e l l s a-ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword, and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

Once you've gone, there was never, never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

 

It was the wicked and wild wind

Blew down the doors to let me in

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

People couldn't b e l i e v e what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait for my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string

Oh, who would ever want to be king?

 

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword, and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

I know St. Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

 

Oh-oh-ohhh-oh-ohh

Oh-oh-ohhh-oh-ohh

Oh-oh-ohhh-oh-ohh

Oh-oh-ohhh-oh-ohh

Oh-oh-ohhh-oh-ohh

 

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword, and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

I know St. Peter will call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I r u l e d the world

"I don't want to survive! I want to live!"

Wall-E
was
AMAZING.

In fact, I'm pretty sure it's my FAVORITE Pixar movie.  I'm totally not kidding... it's incredible.  Ah, I just love it.  And honestly, everyone is freaking out about the environmentalism in it.  Sure, they destroyed their planet completely just like the environmentalists say we'll do someday, but the movie was more than that: it was about getting off your lazy butt and doing something with your life.  The best quote of the movie was:

"I don't want to survive!  I want to live!"

Wow, that gave me chills.  I nearly cried in so many parts, some parts actually made me tear up.  I have never had the urge to cry in a Pixar movie.  I love all of them, and it was always going to be hard to beat The Incredibles, but I think Wall-E did.

[p. s.  I didn't know a robot could be so cute.]

Of Shakespeare and Spenser

::whispers::  I love William Shakespeare...

Or rather, the idea of him.  I'm not sure yet.  I am in the Tudor period now, so half of it is of course Shakespeare. 

I have been reading a lot about him and about the plots of his sonnets and plays, but have actually read very little of his works.  They sound so wonderful, but when I try to read them... they um, make no sense.  ::sighs::  I want to love that style, I want to read it and understand it, but that will take longer than the time allotted for British Literature.  For the British Lit. CLEP test, I basically just need to know the names of works, who wrote them and when, and some facts about the authors lives.  It isn't so much about understanding the pieces, you know?

Just for the record, these are the plays by Shakespeare that I want to read most:

:: romance &/or comedy
Much Ado About Nothing
The Winter's Tale
As You Like It
A Midsummer's Night's Dream
The Comedy of Errors
The Merry Wives of Windsor
The Tempest

:: tragedy
Titus Andronicus
King Lear
Antony and Cleopatra

[::grins::  So there are quite a few.  The rest of the tragedies are just plain horrid, much too depressing.]

But besides the fact that I don't always understand it, I'm still highly enjoying myself.  I read some of The Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser and that was lovely.  It was semi-hard to understand, but easy enough to get the whole of it, and to tell that it's simply divine.    Here is a small bit that I loved:

Upon a great adventure he was bond
That greatest Glorianna to him gave,
That greatest glorious queen of Faerylond,
To win him worship and her grace to have,
Which of all earthly things he most did crave.
And ever as he rode, his heart did earn
To prove his puissance in battle brave
Upon his foe, and his new force to learn-
Upon his foe, a dragon horrible and stern.

-The Faerie Queene (1590-96), Edmund Spenser
