Party at Oscar Wilde

Great party last night here at Oscar Wilde. Emma ([livejournal.com profile] thecolorblue) was fantastic as a DJ and our newly installed speakers worked great. Seriously, it was almost as good as a swedish korridorsfest (if only Americans really knew about the husfest...). Someone described it as "an in-house party with an out-of-house flavor." excellent. I drank a little more than I intended (although just wine). Leigh from swedish class / lothlorian came, and I think I bonded infinitessimally more with some of my housemates.. always good. danced with Jean a bit which was good fun too. Alright, now it's time to get down to business with Shakespeare...

Shakespeare is wonderful. In my opinoin, he was able to express any emotion or thought you could ever have perfectly in words. In some sense I don't feel there is anything left to be said that he has not said better.

"awake!
Shake off this downy sleep, death's counterfeit,
And look on death itself! up, up, and see
The great doom's image!
" (Macbeth)

Can you think of any more perfect way of describing sleep in two words than "Death's counterfeit?" Mind-fucking-blowing.
