So, Mardi Gras is Tuesday. I'm writing an article for some web-zine based out of New York. I'm very excited. This will not be the first time that I've written for this zine. In fact, I wrote a piece on Mardi Gras last year. Last year, however, I put a lot of emphasis on the tourist part of it. I talked a lot about the crowds. I interviewed a lovely French couple. It was not easy, mind you. I've been taking French classes since high school. You would think I could have a conversation by now? Nope. But, I digress. This year, I am going to write from my point of view. More over, a local's point of view. For instance, I do not go to Bourbon on Mardi Gras day. There are too many people. I go to my favorite place Molly's on the Market. It's a great place. All of the bartenders are fun. It's packed in there on St.Patrick's day. And, they make the best Irish coffee in America. Or, so I've been told. I'm not a big fan ow whiskey myself. So, when the article is done (won't be out until mid-March due to my travel plans) I will point you all to the site to read it.
On a completely unrelated note...We are discussing something very interesting in my Romantics class. It's a play by Byron. I'm not really into the Romantic period. I'm more of a post-modern girl myself. However, this play is interesting. The whole thing about Romantic's is that they are really into nature and the simple beauty in nature. In this play, however, the main character is a sad depressed little man. He was involved in insecst with his sister (who died). All he wants to do is die but he is doomed to walk this earth until he forgives himself. He encounters several religious figures (not all christian) and tells them that he does not need their prayers because he is beyond all religion. He's rather a promethian character if I do say so myself. I'm sure critics have said the like. The play is called "Manfred". I'm sure if you've studied Romantics, you've at least heard of this play. And, I know no one will reply to this but, I want to know what you think. I know some of you read. Do you think his character in any way resembles Promethius(how in the hell do you spell that by the way?). Discuss.
