VLADIMIR: A dog came in-
Having begun too high he stops, clears his throat, resumes.
A dog came in the kitchen
And stole a crust of bread.
Then cook up with a ladle
And beat him till he was dead.
Then all the dogs came running
And dug the dog a tomb-Samuel Beckett – Waiting for Godot
[Yes, I’m being intellectual. I do that sometimes. In other news, * got me the book and tickets for Waiting for Godot for tomorrow for my birthday. So actually, it’s her being intellectual that’s rubbing off on me.]

You know…I’m still amazed that this is in “Waiting for Godot”.
I was reciting Beckett in kindergarten, it seems. (Yes, my intellectual awesomeness has declined sharply since then.)
Aren’t we all? It’s the beginning of the second act.
And I wouldn’t say that your intellectual awesomeness has declined. It has shifted. :)
Shifted? Is that what they’re calling it now?
Just to prove my point, I’m going to start watching “Avatar: The Last Airbender” now.
“Shifted”…pah ^.~
Oh, I lllllove Avatar.
(but nothing is as cool as Kickers and Mila. Well, maybe Naruto is… Too bad C. is too young for TV.)
… Aber du meinst wahrscheinlich Avatar der Realfilm und nicht Avatar die entzückende Serie?
Nein, ich meine die Serie.
Den Realfilm muss ich nicht so bald wieder sehen…der war nicht berauschend.
Aber trashige Sport-Animes sind natürlich schon super ^^
If it makes you feel any better, I just downloaded Cowboy Bebop. As a counterweight, kinda. :)
Oooooh, I want Cowboy Bebop, too.
Gimme ^^
It will be prepared when you arrive tomorrow. :)
Oh, and I knew it after the first three words. Am I intellectual as well?
You’re the most intellectual of us all.
Is this meant to be offensive?
^^
Only half-offensive. :)
Imagine it being said with half a measure of awe (because you did recognise it) and half a measure of sarcasm (because I’m an ass who makes fun of people).
[…] As I mentioned before, I read the play in preparation for seeing it (more on the stage version tomorrow). As most plays, it’s a rather quick read. Though I have a trilingual edition with French and English on one page and the German version on the other and in the beginning I was torn between what language to read it in… I started out in French, then changed to English and finally ended up reading it in German, because I’m lazy sometimes. [Though I did look at some things where I wondered about the translation.]* […]
