I haven’t blogged in a few days, been a little busy but also just haven’t felt like it. I’ve been quite up and down lately and I’m not sure what the cause of that is. Thinking logically, I haven’t anything to complain about. Emotionally, I feel like a complete wreck. I haven’t found any explanation for it beyond that I’m stupid and girly. But that’s not really a good reason is it? I am hoping that it will pass soon and considering I’ll be quite busy for the next few weeks it should work itself out.

So, the Democrats now have the majority in both the Senate and the House of Reps in the US of A. This should be an interesting two years to the next Presidential Election. Maybe we can finally be rid of that monkey. Admittedly, I don’t know enough about the American political system to be able to understand the full implications of this, but I sense the winds of change and I’m hoping they blow this way as well. Whether or not it means a change in foreign policy as well as world politics remains to be seen.

Went out on Saturday with Mike, Manda and Travis. We saw ‘Macbeth’ at the Figtree Theatre at UNSW. It’s been ages since I’ve seen any Shakespeare and I studied ‘Macbeth’ as one of my HSC texts so I already knew the story. In the end, this was rather lucky as the style in which the play was presented made for a rather confusing time. Some of the actors played 3-5 different characters, and it was hard to determine who was who as a result. In addition, the whole ‘minimalistic’ approach was difficult for me to follow because the lack of props and scenery leaves a lot to the imagination. I think next time I see Shakespeare I’ll pick one that has the full costume and all that.
