yamamanamaI saw Coriolanus on Thursday night, and when I came home I was fucking tired and very glad I didn't work the next morning and I had Art of Noise stuck in my head, and scouring my book collection for one with an epigraph from Coriolanus. I was expecting thunderstorms but got a warm and hazy day instead.
I thought there was one in Shrine of Stars, since they both have characters named Tullus (I'd say 75% of the characters are named for Shakespearian characters, Yamamanama himself being an exception), but in reality, the epigraph in Shrine of Stars was a Dante quote. There was one in Little, Big, which I've read, and one in The Exile Kiss (the title is a reference to Coriolanus), which I haven't read.
A woman was playing the fiddle Irish-style in the Public Gardens, noticed my Schrödinger's Cat shirt and knew exactly what was on the other side of it, and asked about Deathless. I said exactly what I think about it. It's good, but it's not her best work. It's hard to live up to the greatness that is Palimpsest.
On the other side of the bridge, a man played the saxophone.
"if you wanted to be Mick Jagger, you'd grow your lips." And she said other snarky things to this jazz fusion band. They covered a Deerhoof song. Admiral Amara would appreciate that, if he wasn't in exile on Mars. Actually, they were pretty good. They're called Ro Sham Beaux and they have a band camp and they did a homage to the movie Cube and their name is French for le Rock Paper Scissors. This is a link to their band camp.
Her friend has a cat. She called her a cat lady, even though she doesn't rave incoherently and throw cats at people. In fact, she only has one cat. But she has cat playing cards. Holographic cat playing cards. And the jokers are bulldogs.
The coolest deck of cards I've ever seen was an art nouveau tarot.
There was a butterfly fluttering around, and it landed on her and other people. I couldn't tell what kind of butterfly it was.
Fucking good, but fucking long. I thought when the website said two hours and forty minutes, they included intermissions. So, I wonder how many people saw the guys with riot shields on the pathway, running to the stage, and freaked out. The costume department had a modern take on it, though the script was completely intact.
A man with a skullcap and a long beard was telling his kids about how all the characters in Coriolanus have both good and bad qualities.
One of his kids had a Communist Party t-shirt. It looked like this:
It clashes quite nicely with all the green, unlike the monster stealing a muffin shirt.
Imran Firasat wrote a physically painful song denouncing Islam.
Burning question: Is this the end of Zombie Shakespeare?
