When France is mine and I am yours, then yours is France and you are mine

Today I made Benoit go to Blue C Sushi with me! Wheee, we went to the one in University Village because then we could also hit Jamba Juice. The funny part is that by the time we got to Jamba Juice, he was too full to get a smoothie, so I had to get one big enough that we could share. They had a new flavor, Strawberry Surf Rider. It was pretty good, but not better than my other favorites.

The rest of the afternoon was spent in errands and baking brownies and things. Then we went over to M&J's place to meet up with others to go to Woodland Park for Greenstage -- this year we decided to go see Henry V. We had a bit of an adventure actually finding the stage area, but once we did, we ate a pretty good picnic dinner and saw a pretty good show, although it was difficult to hear some of the actors some of the time. The guy who played Henry was very good though, as was the chorus guy. Overall it was a lot of fun.

I wanted to put up a super-cute picture of Ficus's puppy Oliver that I took, but my phone is being retarded and doesn't want to connect to the network and send the pictures. Grr.

Henry V.

We just watched the 1989 Henry V last month. Good movie. Lots of Brits: Kenneth Brannaugh, Derek Jacoby, Ian Holme, Brian Blessed, and even Robby Coaltrain playing Flastaff (he also does Hagrid, but that's in another movie). Have you seen the Henry V movie? The soundtrack is pretty cool. I especially like the Non Nobis Domine, and the music during the St. Crispin's Day part.

I haven't seen all of the 1945 Sir Lawrence Olivier version, though. Just highlights from my Shakespeare class.

As a true English major nerd, I have a T-shirt from the reconstucted Globe in London, with a quote from Henry V. "...this great wooden O..." I got it in England the first year the Globe opened. Their premier show that year was Henry V. I couldn't get tickets, though.
