Brube goes to London

My father: So who is Jude Law? Is she a woman?

Today was brilliant. I head to work, find out I’m interviewing people at the poles for the European elections and find out I get to see Jude Law. You see, there’s this little play called Hamlet. This famous guy William Shakespeare wrote it. And this actor Jude Law (he’s not bad), is playing Hamlet.

So when my coworkers told me today that I would be reviewing it, a little piece of me died inside.

All my friends and I tried to get tickets, but we couldn’t. And if you are a woman between the ages of eight and I’d say 60ish, you most likely drool over Jude Law.

I’m not going to tell you about it because I’m writing a review and you can find out all about it when my story is published.

To be, or not to be, — that is the question: —

Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing end them? — To die, to sleep, —

No more; and by a sleep to say we end

The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to, — ‘tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep; —

To sleep, perchance to dream: — ay, there’s the rub;

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,

Must give us pause: there’s the respect

That makes calamity of so long life;

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,

The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,

The pangs of despis’d love, the law’s delay,

The insolence of office, and the spurns

That patient merit of the unworthy takes,

When he himself might his quietus make

With a bare bodkin? who would these fardels bear,

To grunt and sweat under a weary life,

But that the dread of something after death, —

The undiscover’d country, from whose bourn

No traveller returns, — puzzles the will,

And makes us rather bear those ills we have

Than fly to others that we know naught of?

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;

And thus the native hue of resolution

Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought;

And enterprises of great pith and moment,

With this regard, their currents turn awry,

And lose the name of action
