Hamlet (Act II)

Oh man, I forgot how long this act was. I was checking sparknotes, and was like “oh wow, this is a short act, it’s only two scenes long.” Yes, it is two scenes long, but those two scenes are really really long. So long that I got lazy in the middle of making this flash and at a certain point, you will see a drop in the quality of the artwork and dialogue. If there was any to begin with, that is.

Anyway, tomorrow’s sports day, so I have no classes. We get to go to Central Park (Really really big park in the middle of Manhattan, New York), although I’ll probably just sit there doing nothing. Hooray for sitting!

Hamlet (Act I)

For the purposes of today’s flash, pretend that Unnamed Character and Long-Haired Character are both male (Oh yeah, and Yuyuko too). Anyhow, this is act I of Hamlet, acted out by daily flash characters. If you’ve never read Hamlet and don’t mind inaccuracy and spoilers, now you can know what the first act is about! If you have read Hamlet, you can make fun of how badly I messed the scenes up! I may as well make this an ongoing daily flash thing and add acts whenever I fail to come up with any ideas for the day.

Hypocrites

No Unnamed Characters were harmed in the making of this flash. Except the one in the imagination sequence. But she’s imaginary, so it’s okay.

Vacation assignments

I felt kinda stupid for not noticing until today”s English class. Turns out I actually had to read about a hundred pages, which I did in about three hours after I got home from school. The book is Winesburg, Ohio, and it’s… not really that interesting. I don’t know if it was actually chapter nine; I just made that up for the purposes of ?. Coincidentally, one of the chapters is about a woman named Alice who is really lonely.

Library books

Well, this didn’t come out as I had expected. Anyway, I finally returned a copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer to the school library, after about 2-3 months after its due date. I expected more criticism and questioning, like “why didn’t you return this three months ago?” or “You know, you should take better responsibility for the books you borrow” and stuff like that, but the librarian didn’t really say anything. And it turned out to be only a dollar, even though it was three months. I guess they don’t count weekends, holidays, and non-school-days when doing the “five cents for every day after its due date” system.

In other news, in art class today, we had to start off drawing an organic object, and in six steps, transform it into something else. I turned a pinecone into Patchy. It was awesome. Too bad I don’t have a camera or anything that can take photos.
