Maybe I Lied
This still isn't a real entry, but I'm not done blabbing yet.
On my list of "best/worst of 2004" I completely forgot one of the best things I read all year-- Larry Kramer's play, The Destiny of Me. Seriously, I don't know how I forgot. Besides The Trial of Guiteau the Assassin, that's the book I borrowed longest from the library here at school. It's an absolutely brilliant play, and I feel that way just from *reading* it, nevermind seeing a production. Although it centers around homosexuality and AIDS (thus, do I even need to mention that Mr. Hadary was in the original cast? hehe), it's also about growing up and how family plays a role in who we become and stuff. I don't know, I'm bad at describing things simply-- I'd recommend just reading it.
The reason I thought of this is cuz I just read Kramer's other play, The Normal Heart, the other morning. I liked it, but not as much as Destiny. Then again, I probably just need to read it another time or two. I actually did NOT like The Destiny of Me the first time I read it, cuz I rushed through it and didn't pick up on any of the subtle lines and whatnot that really get under your skin and make the play one that's hard to forget (though apparently I did :p).
And there it is.
Oh yeah, third season of the Apprentice starts tonight, too!
