I loved your summary of the play -- it always helps me to think about classics like soap operas because the drama makes more sense to me :)Kim (Sophisticated Dorkiness)http://sophisticateddorkiness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-21688755119630398412010-07-13T20:27:01.913-05:002010-07-13T20:27:01.913-05:00Amanda - :) I liked the idea of having a release d...Amanda - :) I liked the idea of having a release date for this.

Weird, but true.<br /><br />BTW, I've started watching the first season of True Blood. I'm liking it better than I thought I would! Who knew vampires, rednecks, sex, and a bit of masochism would make a good combination?Stephaniehttp://laughingstars.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-3125989047961439302010-07-13T14:39:35.119-05:002010-07-13T14:39:35.119-05:00You know, I was REALLY bummed that Dionysus got cu...You know, I was REALLY bummed that Dionysus got cut from the Percy Jackson film! He was such a vibrant, likeably grouchy character in the books. <br /><br />It hurts my head to read the ancient Greeks these days, but hopefully that'll pass and I can get back into this stuff.

Just Medea, which is one of my favorites. I love that you put the release date on there. :DAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.com
