Writing a paper on the Celtic Tiger and its affects on Irish theatre. I have an odd feeling of deja vu.
Made brunch with Lauren... french toast with powdered sugar... watched 'Michael Collins' (the Irish equivalent of 'Braveheart') and LOVED it... naturally.
On a side note... why is 'Braveheart' CALLED 'Braveheart'? Is it because he had a brave heart? If so... why not call it 'Courage' or 'A Brave Heart' or 'Scotland'?
True... 'Braveheart' has a distinct ring to it. But why not called it 'William Wallace'? I guess I shouldn't ever name movies.
I watched a movie called 'The Edge of Love' and it was fantastic... but I was unsure why the name was chosen. I mean... I couldn't even remember the name.... until I looked it up for the purpose of writing this post.
Now the name 'Michael Collins'... kinda tells you what you need to know. I am just saying...
Anyway...I need to get back to work. Bah.
Had a lovely Skype date with Mutant last night. I miss her.
I am going to see 'Terminus' tonight at The Abbey Theatre.
FUN FACT: Dracula is Irish for "bad blood". Well played Bram Stoker... well played indeed.
Now I have to write. BAH.
