I have a couple things to say, since my computer has been avoiding me, and I've finally confronted it and wrestled it to the ground.
First, I second Jacob's nomination of Blood Wedding (in both Spanish and English, though I liked the Spanish version better.) I think it shows Lorca's style much more completely than La Casa de Bernarda Alba, though that's good too. I also thank Jacob for reasserting my opinions about Garcia Lorca. He's one of my favorite writers, and I was so excited to begin discussion about Bodas de Sangre today, only to be told by all my friends how "incredibly boring it was." I was so disappointed with all of them.
Second, I have used TASP in a college essay--its so lucrative to write about, and each time I try to put the entire experience down in words, I feel guilty, as though I'm despoiling TASP through my pathetic prose. Anyhow...
(subsection of section 2) I wore my TASP shirt yesterday. the theory of knowledge kids have finally gotten around to reading Flow. It's great to see that people are finally starting to appreciate our artistic ingenuity.
Third, recommendations etcetc that I have been meaning to put up for a while:
Books~ Soul Mountain by Gao Xingjian (Tae-Yeoun, you already know about this I think)
Music~ Gaspard la Nuit by Ravel
Beethoven's 3rd Concerto (piano)
Chopin's Sonata#2 Op. 35 (yesyes, piano again)
That's all for now.
