Jul. 31st, 2008 11:33 pmI went to see David Tennant be Hamlet
and now I am home again
and from now on it will get further in the past and go fuzzier and get tied up with the describing of it and the thoughts I had about it and the things other people say about it and, well, since I considered dropping in to the university library on the way home, probably the things I'll study up on about it, and the experience has already turned into memory and story.
I don't usually think so much about that.
I'm thinking lots of thoughts right now so despite having decided four hours ago I was exhausted I'm sitting around thinking.
I want to see it again after I've done some thinking.
This might be possible, cause college sent an email around saying we must do a trip when it goes to London. That would be cool. See it twice at different ends, sort of thing.
I've also realised I react to David Tennant, actor, entirely different than how I react to any his characters. I see the Doctor and, well, he's the Doctor. Big huge complicated there. So I want to go travel with him and stuff and I think he's gorgeous and we could talk about a billion things and, you know, all that level of thinking. But I see David Tennant act and... I want to be a better writer so I could make something with him. Really. I want to write something that he could bring that much spark to.
... I'm trying very hard not to compare my work to Shakespeare, because lets face it, depressing. So that's not what I'm thinking about.
But it's like... okay, he's pretty and interesting and all that stuff, but I have a sort of writer specific kind of desire going on here, I want the *actor*. I want to be able to do all the stuff with words that he could do with acting. It would be like stretching out and shining.
