I was in the subway going to rehearse today and all I thought about was Beowulf! I kept imagining a story-teller in the mead-hall reciting the prologue from the book and it seemed really interesting to me. Then I pictured this modern day comedian tell the Seamus Version. And, of course, whenever I don't find something normal, my face does not hide it well. So I find myself on the train with people staring at me with my weird expressions and I was quite embarrassed... :P To cover my humiliation I whipped out my Beowulf and read the prologue again, switching the narrators in my head. And either way I figured that the book's prologue is so much more interesting, to me, because of it's authenticity.
So that's it, that's what marked me in English today...
