The last couple of weeks have been highly uneventful mainly because I've been trying to get all my ducks in a row in an attempt to finish my thesis. But now it's done and I'll be handing it in tomorrow before noon. Not only will that mark my first day as an unemployed member of society. It'll also mark the beginning of ten highly eventful days that I'm quite looking forward to.
It kicks off tomorrow with a celebratory dinner followed by the musical stylings of Willard Grant Conspiracy. Then Friday there's a party at the university, where I'm looking forward to telling anyone who'll listen that I don't actually attend university anymore. Sunday, we're going to Copenhagen and the same night the plan is to attend Fray Day, which I assume will be packed with the capitol's bloggers. We're going to Copenhagen to catch the David Bowie/The Dandy Warhols show, but while we're there we also plan to check out exhibits by Roy Lichtenstein, Helmut Newton, and Verner Panton and catch up with friends.

And finally the following Friday I'll be attending my ten year high school reunion. I have had very little contact with the people I went to high school with, so it'll be interesting to see everyone again. Most of the people from my class I've seen in the last five years, but I'm sure there are people I haven't seen since we graduated. And there are a couple of the guys I used to hang out with, who I'm really looking forward to seeing, so it should be a fun night. I definitely don't have those Romy & Michelle hangups about going.

I said the last weeks have been uneventful, but I actually went and saw The Scottish Play yesterday. I'm not a huge Shakespeare connoisseur, but I have actually read Macbeth, so I knew the story, which I think is a big help any time you watch a Shakespeare play. I was a bit weary before the play, because the words modern interpretation always makes me think of spandex pants, people smearing weird stuff on each other, and uncomfortable nudity. But thankfully they used a translation from the 60s and kept pretty much to the original story. The only modern things were the set design, which was very sparse but worked really well, and the music which was by local techno-folk trio Sorten Muld, which also worked well.

The main things that didn't work so well were primarily the choice to make Malcolm a total wuss by either the director or the actor. And I wasn't too impressed with the casting of Macbeth, either. For some reason I have an image of Macbeth being a large man with black hair and a black beard, and the guy they had chosen was too old and pasty to fit my idea of Macbeth. Also, he had a rather large tattoo of a dolphin on a target on his chest and shoulder, which I found a bit distracting since he was bare chested or wearing a leather vest for most of the play. But basically the play was pretty good and we had great seats, so we were very close to the action.

But like I said tomorrow is my last day as a student, which means technically I'm looking for a job now. I won't get around to actually applying for anything until I get back from Copenhagen, but if you know someone who needs someone like me to do something, which has to do with the media business, some kind of writing, perhaps editing online content, or anything internet related that doesn't include programming and setting up servers I'd totally love hearing from you.
