trinityvixenWe saw Macbeth at Shakespeare in the Park (and much thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
feiran and darkling1 and all the others who were with them to wait for the tickets), which was fantastic. I've never seen Shakespeare of any vogue performed live, nor had I ever been to the summer theater in the park, so it was a double treat. Liev Schreiber was great as Macbeth, with Jennifer Ehle so-so as Lady Macbeth (good as manipulative harridan, not so good as grief-stricken crazy person). It was strange to see the story translated to a 1930s stylized set, but it wasn't distracting from the story, so that was okay.
I came home for the 4th, had a good barbeque with family, and got to see my sister's college roommater and her new baby, Samantha. Well, the baby is as active and cute as anything, and she spent a good hour just gaping at all of us. I've never seen a baby look so shocked before. Predictably, when I got to hold her, she started to cry. Babies always cry with me. This is probably due to a vicious cycle--a baby cried on me once, I stopped volunteering to hold babies which led to me not being offered a baby to hold until it was cranky from being passed around, and thus it would cry on me, beginning the cycle again. Cute baby, just the same. I can't wait to be an auntie!!!
And my youngest sister needed to go to Best Buy (so she can have cable in her room GRRRRR), so I went with. Used up my coupons from the Reward Zone thing in abot ten seconds. They were having a sale on certain TV sets (ivy03: The Pretender is on sale--$15 a season!), so I picked up the first season of Futurama. With my coupons, that cost me $10. I also got Spider-Man, which I never actually bought despite owning Spider-Man 2, and Devin provoked me into buying the Family Guy movie, which was only $6 with coupons factored in. Now I just need to get all the seasons of Family Guy.
And more DVD storage.
Also, I've found myself defending Superman Returns left and right of late, and I only just found that odd. I definitely enjoyed it, but I didn't looooooove it. It was good, did what I needed/wanted it to do for the most part, and it tugged the old heartstrings. I guess it was good enough to defend, maybe not good enough to be obsessed with (though I definitely want to see it in 3D--mostly because, hey, movie in 3D!)
