Today, I took in:
the rest of The Sellout — really excellent, check it out
an episode of the new season of Endeavour
I made:
a return to volunteering with the kids, which was fun but tiring
a fix on a passage in one of the songs we’re doing in choir that I’ve been messing up for weeks; fixing it felt good
Today, I took in:
another amazing storytelling event, this one by Chirine El Ansary at the British Museum, as part of the Crick Crack Club’s Myths Retold series; she told several tales from 1001 Nights, and she did it about a fourth in Arabic and the rest in English — very cool, and really took you deeper into the story, as you paid attention to every movement she made and the inflection of each word she said, to be sure you followed along
“Friends” by Grace Paley
I made:
the beginnings of some ruminations on a story idea
Today, I took in:
A couple performances at Vault Festival in the vaults under Waterloo Station: a retelling of the Orpheus myth, which was well done although I thought the music was a bit same-ish; and a couple of stories from the wonderful Irish storyteller Clare Muireann Murphy
I made:
another exciting purchase — tickets to Israel for two weeks!
Today, I took in:
the rest of the “Shakespeare and Hathaway” series (British series are short)
I made:
oof not much, some days just take it out of you
Today, I took in:
an episode of Person of Interest
“The Princess Myth” by Hilary Mantel
I made:
my first real venture outside after re-injuring my back — success!
