Dining on set pieces.


My favorite character in Shakespeare's "A Mid Summer Night's Dream" is Bottom - the pompous braggart who chews up all of the scenery around him in the play-within-the-play at the end of the show. A person who does this, in actor's parlance, is a "Ham".

For better or worse I have hammy tendencies, and it is my current mission to rid myself of them (or at least gain some control over when they are activated). Because while I could get pretty far with it in theater, it looks positively crappy on film.

Oh ham-hockey self, that brings me so much joy, I shall miss you. Adieu, adieu, adieu.
