Have to start on my essay again, before even more work piles up. Need to start on my oral presentation on religion in France too, especially since the Preliminary examination is next Saturday! Instead, what am I doing? Sorting through my MP3s, adding and deleting stuff. Have given up on trying to download TV shows through BitTornado though, mainly because it takes up too much space on my hard drive. I'm now downloading stuff by Vox Aeternus, which compares itself to Delerium, Enigma, Deep Forest, etc. We shall see about that. Oh, and guess what I just found out? Both Amethystium and Lesiëm are releasing new albums soon! Lesiëm's Auracle, a repackaged version of Times, is out in September, so it'll take a few months to get here. Amethystium's is called Evermind. Still haven't bought Odonata or Aphelion. Damn, the number of albums I just have to get my hands on just keeps increasing...

It's more than half a day later, so actually it's already yesterday's tomorrow, which also goes by the humbler name of today. Anyway, Lysistrata was great! As a play, it doesn't have much intrinsic value. It works wonderfully as entertainment though, even though it has been sanitised for a school production. Antony & Cleopatra simply pales in comparison. Aparna was absolutely brilliant as Lysistrata! One of my favourite scenes was the one where Reconciliation appears, and the Spartan and the Athenian proceed to ogle her like nobody's business. The one with Joshua and Chloe as husband and wife was damn funny too, if a tad too long. The closing song was nice too, the whole cast sounded quite decent. (Well, I couldn't hear Tim Ng's voice at least. Haha!) There's too much to say about it, because there were so many bits that had me in stitches! Go surf around the linked blogs and you'll get the idea...
