Playwright Says: aaaaaaaaaaghhhhhh

[zukkokya]

[Kya lies in bed with laptop. Kya gets up, puts laptop on desk. Kya carries laptop to a chair. Kya sneaks onto YouTube. Kya looks up eighty-three music videos from the late nineties. Kya studies Japanese. Kya orders Pad Thai. Kya eats Pad Thai. Kya rereads The Love Suicides at Amijima. Kya drinks three liters of water. Kya looks at clock.]

KYA:
...Oops.

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
...You still only have three finished, don't you.

KYA:
Sure, finished. But the other five are already started!

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
You know, this really shouldn't be so challenging for a playwright.

KYA:
BANTERING DIALOGUE IS NOT THE SAME AS ANALYZING WOYZECK.

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
Hey, where are you going?

KYA:
TO THE GYM.

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
But --

KYA:
I NEED ENDORPHINS.

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
...You forgot your sanity.

KYA:
I. DON'T. WANT IT.

[Door slams.]

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
Was she wearing shoes at least?

[Subaru nods.]

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
Well, small blessings.

[Yasu enters. Subaru gives V sign. Yasu and Subaru make out on bed.]

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
...Why am I still here?

DO YOU WANT TO FAIL, LOLKYA?!

Please tell me the play isn't as trippy as the opera, because man, that shit is .

Hey, we write essays the same way! By... not writing them!

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

XD I'll be fine. That was just a two-hour slice of my eight-hour day. I've gotten more done since then.

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

Which play? Woyzeck?

XDDD I just talked to my friend who's also suffering through this and the two of us decided we've lost the last of our respective minds.

*g* your eight hour day? what happens to the other 16 hours? i know you don't use them all for sleeping.

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

Ten hours and forty minutes, actually. I woke up at eight. X__X I'm obsessive about editing, so these essays are taking much, much longer than they should.

I reeeeeeally want to go to the gym. *___*

GYM, WHY ARE YOU SO FAR FROM ME?

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

you know, most people come up with excuses to avoid the gym...

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

B-but I go every day. I - I - I NEED CARDIO. *SOB* I HATE YOU, WOYZECK.

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

I am!

"Chikamatsu Monzaemon, a playwright who lived during the Tokugawa shogunate, is known as Japan’s Shakespeare. Deciding kabuki was too disloyal to its playwrights, he wrote the majority of his plays for the bunraku stage. He believed bunraku allowed for deeper complexity for its characters and put less focus on the prestige of its actors the way kabuki did."

There, see? I'm working!

[musikologie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Woyzeck. XD

That's always how finals goes, though! Good luck on finishing :D

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

THIS IS THE THANKS I GET FOR TAKING TIME OUT OF MY LIFE TO ENTERTAIN YOU?

[araanaz9.livejournal.com]

When did you write that bit? Because it totally does not count as doing your work if you wrote it this morning AND THEN DID NOT ADD ANYTHING SINCE. *eyes*

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

I AM SO TIRED OF FINALS. THEY. NEVER. END.

Woyzeck the Play is actually very cool. There's a major trippy part that some translations add in -- blood bubbling up from the dirt in the woods. But it wasn't in my translation.

SERIOUSLY. FINALS, DIE.

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

I WROTE IT AN HOUR AGO, THANK YOU.

CURRENTLY ENTERTAINED WITHOUT YOU. PROCRASTINATOR.
