When I woke up, she was saying the same things...It's gonna be a happy day Winnie. Good girl, Winnie. The old style.<BR/><BR/>PTB: It was called Happy Days. Dunnolar, I guess I could get into Theatre of the Absurd if I really really tried...but it was so nice to nod off...a lot of it was sort of mindless repetition (which I am sure was actually very deep and meaningful, nonetheless) Will try to get into Waiting for Godot. Although here, I think I will read the introduction and footnotes, etc, like when I'm reading Shakespeare...then possibly will not come out of experience feeling so frustrated.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359604151544863025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17639529.post-1151777788607661902006-07-02T02:16:00.000+08:002006-07-02T02:16:00.000+08:00Waiting for Godot is, I think, one of the simplest...<I>Waiting for Godot</I> is, I think, one of the simplest plays to understand (though not the easiest to get through) if you combine it with Camus's idea of the myth of Sisyphus. I'm not trying to be pedantic here, but merely taking a page from the Modernists (like Beckett) and trying to coax you into seeking the answer on your own. Happy hunting.<BR/><BR/>I never watched nor read the play you saw (what's it called? I don't remember) because it sounded like the kind of thing during which I would fall asleep three times, even excepting several protracted nights of insomnia. Theater of the Absurd is just a hair's bredth away from Theater of the Boring in most cases.Erratic Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18293973257143974041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17639529.post-1151777574457445232006-07-02T02:12:00.000+08:002006-07-02T02:12:00.000+08:00I think it would take more than agenius to figure ...I think it would take more than agenius to figure out what was happening when you are sleeping :P So did ya get the pills finally?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17639529.post-1151763448651656232006-07-01T22:17:00.000+08:002006-07-01T22:17:00.000+08:00Quasar: All's I know is that when I wake up, it's ...Quasar: All's I know is that when I wake up, it's with a jerk like I re-entered my body. Yeah, didn't Freud talk about this addiction to death? (Although I am not a fan of Freud).
