Still alive! That is right, Peepers, you're not free of me just yet.
Taking off for Czocha in a week. I look forward to playing something completely different this time, but it won't be the same, emotionwise. A lot of my people are missing. And I know that's taking a bit of the air off the balloon for me. But I have lower expectations, so I suspect I'll be positively surprised.
The Dutchman has been in a bit of a run, bit we finally pushed through to a better place, and now there's takeoff from Boston, and everything will be more fun! There's been some admin heavy duties, for example we had to ask a player to leave. She was just too young, and mentally not prepared to hold her own. Too insecure, too nervous, too afraid. We have now set an agelimit. No minors. Except one, who's almost 18, and whom we know from elsewhere, and know she can manage. Actually, she's doing awesome.
Sach.. Actually got engaged. Which I did not see coming at all. I'll tell the story of him and Natalia soon, maybe after the ceremony, but for now: He found himself a passionate spirit like his own. And while they're all temper and high waves, they are perfect. I created a woman, too. Noelle Travert. She only just really got interesting, but she's quite flirtatious and adventurous. On the run from a French armada, but hey.. The pirates will be told.. Eventually.
I went to watch Hamlet last night, and I was so blown away I couldn't even cry. I laughed a few times, it was quite funny. Bit so fucking tragic and beautiful. Insanely so. And Cumberbatch was.. God. So passionate, so emotional, so fucking beautiful in each depiction of sorrow and grief. The way his voice broke and got hoarse.. You wanted to jump into the screen and hold him. So bad.
And the scenery was bloody brilliant! It's not my last National Theatre Live show. I hope Hamlet will be available on DVD some day. I want that show so much.
Anyway Peepers. I'm beat. On penicillin for almost a week now. Bacterial infection in my saliva gland.. Yay. But I'll be healthy by Czocha. I think.
Sweet dreams.
