Another gallery of Cambridge pictures

Westminster from the front (it's where I had Writing)
Motto over their gate
Their front door
Thestained glass window in their dining hall, where I had class (it's not really that dark)
Andanother one
Coolrelief plaques and eagle in the lantern tower still in my classroom
And a rehearsal:
From left to right, James (Ephesian Dromio), Wright (Ephesian Antipholus), Jorge (Syracusian Antipholus), and Martha (Luciana) as we loafed and didn't rehearse.
Hall outside rehearsal room at Sidney, from left to right Lisa's (Adriana) head at the bottom, Jean (Doctor Pinch), and Jorge
Martha's trying to attack Jorge with eyeliner, so he put his bandana around his eyes
But I think she got him anyway
And I was bored in the room, so!
I played with my watercolor pencils
And took pictures of it in the mirror
Trying for differentangles
And then we went to Buckingham, 10 Downing Street
And there werepretty gold statues
And crests on the gates
A couple days later, we went to Stonehenge, though I didn't get to go inside like the Archeo class
So I took pictures from behind the rope
It was cute
Andold
With lots of rocks
Pretty amazing how they got them all up there
The same day, we went to Bath (that's Sophia's head, our deputy)
It had cool pseudo-Roman stuff (they built the museum in the Victorian times, so nothing on the outside is authentic
It walso had real stuff like coins, taken fron the offering pool in the spring
And then next trip we went to Warwick (don't pronounce the second W)
And saw cute castles
And peacocks
With pretty feathers
And chicks
We collected lots of feathers
So I disassembled my pouch string and put ribbons in Nia's hair (there were bows, aaah)
And then we watched the armor demonstration
Our side cheered for the filthy stinking peasant instead of the rich knight
After that was the archer, whom I must mention, but whose pictures all died...
then we went in the Great Hall and saw cool urns
And cool furniture
And horse armor in nice light
And then we went in the wall to see the portcullis from above
As soon as we got back to Cambridge, we went to Sidney for Comedy; thus, we're getting notes
That's the green on which we played, but you can't really see it (batteries dying)
Crazy whispering scene of yogurt fame
View from the stone corner porch we used for the Abbey
An interestingly degraded picture of Ephesian Dromio, Jorge, and Jon (Officer and Jailor and Luce)
Charlie's Dromios excluding the very annoying James, who was Blue Boy's counterpart
More notes before the show started
And then we went to London again:
We didn't go in, but here's The Globe
And then we walked and walked and walked and walked across the Millennium bridge
and once we got across there was a really cool chalk drawing on the sidewalk based on Da Vinci's Last Supper
And we got closer and closer and closer and closerto St. Paul's (it's huge)
Pictures weren't allowed inside but I took some anyway (we didn't go past the entrance, it was 5 pounds)
There was no photography allowed in the Tate galleries (much to my regret; I liked the exploding piano), but I took one of their hall
And then we got back to Cambridge and immediately had to prepare the show
So we ran around frantically
And it was hot
But Martha was having fun
And Jorge had a sword
So we weren't too stressed
And afterward we took a cast picture or two (not everybody stayed)
And then the Comedy cast got to see Midsummer without signing or tickets or anything!
I thought this was noteworthy
Puck was good
And the pile of fairies had good costumes
Oberon and Puck had good chemistry
He was good, different than I've seen it played. Very calm
Bottom was also good, if a bit exuberant
(here he wants to be Thisbe)
Hmm... I did get some bad ones
Here he has ears, though still moving fast
And Titania has gotten around tofalling in love with him
Oberon and Puck conspire over a sleeping Demetrius
Lysander (left) was good, Helena was hard to understand and a bit squeaky, and Demetrius (right) was a little... oh, I dunno, fake. Here, they're both in love with Helena
But the confrontations were funny
Fuzzy, but heartfelt
Hermia (left) was properly short, and nicely exotic-looking for the guys to chase (at least until interfered with)
This was a really funny scene; both were trying to restrain Hermia from hurting Helena, but didn't particularly want to touch her...
And Helena (right middle) thinks they're mocking her
Puck and Oberon conspire some more (with chopped feet... I suppose I should fix that)
And Puck complains of his lot (she was good, though also different than I've seen it played)
And he lures the lovers to different places in the woods so it can all be sorted out
Then Bottom wakes up in Titania's lap
When Oberon is about to fix her
he had cool face paint which is fuzzy here
But then he did get the lovespell out over her eyes
While Puck had done everybody else's
So it was all good
And everybody was back to normal
So they danced off happily
To the play
But were impatient, since it was an amateur production
But it was still funny
Bottom was again melodramatic
Moaning for his Thisbe love, from behind the Wall (front)
He was really quite funny
And then Thisbe did her own moaning
In a horrible falsetto, which hurt the wall's ears
Then Bottom looked through the wall's chink
But couldn't see much
And then the lion came and stole Thisbe's mantle
And roared (he said, "um, roar")
And then Bottom found his love's bloodstained mantle and thus, thus, thus , thus died (he held his breath really obviously and would make huge gasps in between other people's lines)
Thisbe came upon him (yes, that is a leopard-print padded bra he had on under the mantle)
Not realizing he was dead
His death is especially visible here
And then, If we Shadows have offended...
And the bows
And then the show was over.
Susan drew a present and needed to keep a picture of it
I drew one, too, and painted it, but I'm only posting one pic of it, and I also gave another one away, but it's old
And at the barbecue, a Merchant from Comedy took a picture with me
And then was the talent show... gra, it's nearing the end :(
Stephanie and Jorge smirked and snirfed (that girl had gorgeous hair)
That was funny... somebody remind me what the song was
This guy could play what he could play well, but he kept getting stuck in the middle and having to start over
The Oklahoman rappers
Martha and Jorge move faster than the speed of... the camera shutter
This was really impressive at the time, but it's too fast
Demonic Martha gets down, and further down
Jorge and a girl whose name I can't remember get down too, and bugi (boogie)to the intermission music (and a bad one)
And then all the deputies got up and sang a song
And Alex nearly got his shirt torn off
And then they started the music again... crazy dancer really got down (nearly out of camera)
She's got it goin' on
It was a great dream, and then I woke
