It's my favorite among all of Bill's tragedies. My son was having trouble with it when he was in jr. high (about age 13) so I took him to see a production of it with the actors in modern military dress. For some reason that allowed it all to make sense to him and gave him an interest in other works!

But what are you doing up so late?

Stitchawl

I'm always up this late. On days I work, I wouldn't be getting home til about fifteen minutes from now. At the moment though, I'm trying to finish a book. There was a hellacious plot twist and I had to take a short break.

Feeling slightly better this morning so I decided to go to work. Hopefully the worst is over

But I won't take any chances and will drink NO COFFEE today ! So I'm drinking a cup of delicious Brazilian Baia.

@ Stitchawl + latinandgreek: I think English is the easiest language for anyone familiar with Latin alphabet. that's why they call it 'international language'. Fewer articles, no noun genders, logical grammar and word families... at least it's easier than study Chinese

I think English being the international language is the reason that it's easier to learn. I was listening to people speaking English on the television and radio from a very early age, which means I was sort of used to the sound of it by the time I started studying the language in school. I've always found English much easier to speak, write and read than French.

Another beautiful morning in the Land of the Rising Yen. And in honor of such a grand beginning, a mug of East India Company's "Royal Breakfast Tea!" It makes waking up almost fun!

Were you a 'code talker' in W.W.II?

maianhvk, if you can learn English as a second language, you can learn anything! I think English must be the hardest of all languages to learn and I think a lot of credit is due to all you folks who are able to converse so well in a language that is made up mostly of exceptions to rules!

Cup is empty... need a refill.

that was numerous conflicts BEFORE my time old fella!

I saw the movie. Nicholas Cage wasn't so old.

Drinking a cup of Indian Chai. Something sweet for a change.

Earl Grey tea - I can't seem to fully wake up today.

astra · 01-19-2011, 05:16 AM

Omg. While reading the forum I emptied the cup!
It is empty, which is a crime.
What it was?
Assam Mangalam?
Yes.

We need a more 'positive' outlook. Our cups are never 'empty,' simply not currently in use, a temporary condition to be rectified forthwith.

I'm gonna fill mine with blue stuff....

It's your fault!

You were the one who brought up Gordon's in another thread. The blue stuff is just a different brand and is a beautiful blue color rather than water-white. It's called Bombay Sapphire.

(didn't read your lines, I thought the bottle was blue itself)

You'll like it.
And also:

a girl has to earn her own living and the more languages the more chances..........the more knowledge, the more power.......always try to be independent.

I'm all for girl-power.

In my cup: cold Arabica-coffee and a bottle of tapwater.
