Word Power

Oh, man. Word Power. I've had a particularly extensive active vocabulary for all of my life, but I have leaned so many new things. I quite enjoy expanding my vocabulary. I have a particularly amusing anecdote to blag about a time when I was in P.E.
Since we're reading R+J Foreverz!, which is a play, I'll write it in a script format.
BLAKE: Man, she's hot.
MYSELF: [languidly] She does display a rather callipygian figure, does she not?
BLAKE: What the ****'s that supposed to mean?

Enriching conversation, as one can clearly observe.

Due to word power, I can communicate with my fellow classmates and impress people who are impressed by the use of sesquipedalian language, or sound pretentious to those who are not. I'll surely find the opportunity to bust out my word powers and save the day, or perhaps sentence, someday.
I SHALL RISE FROM THE ASHES LIKE A VERBALLY ARTICULATE PHOENIX AND SHOW THE WORLD THE TRUE MEANING OF LANGUAGE!

Sorry. Listening to touching music gottapostthisnowBAM!

Shake Shake Shakespeare

I really quite enjoyed the movie A Midsummer Night's Dream. Having never read or seen performed the play, I had no premonition of the movie failing in comparison to the original story, so I just saw it like it is, and I was rather entertained. I had little trouble understanding the movie; however, I believe that is made possible in part by interpretation of the gestures and body language of the characters.
Reading Shakespeare will ergo be very different. While there is effectively no nonverbal communication in text, it is also not progressing steadily through time. I can stop at any time I wish, and go back, slow down, or do anything I need to to help me understand the play. I think this will allow me to understand Romeo and Juliet better than A Midsummer Night's Dream, at the price of additional work.
