quote: Well, for a start, it's Les Mis (short for Miserables)...
Let me defend myself in my choice of letters *clears throat*.
I chose to write it Les Miz, because of the pronunciation of the "s" in Les Miserables. It's not even a hard "s", it's a "z" sound. Therefore, I'm perfectly able to use a "z".

Astaril, no, not in Classics, but I am in Latin. Do I know you? That would be really weird. Have you taken any upper-year Latin recently, or perhaps last term's G&R Religion? And nope, haven't seen this year's FASS or any other KWLT productions. Co-op messing with things.

No, I'm a Greek geek and stay mostly away from the Latin. I took the G&R religion class but it was a few years ago. I know most of the folks that do take Latin though: Bridget, Joni, Stef, Mike, Madelyne, Diane, Cathy, Kathleen...any of these familiar? If you're ever in the Classics Lounge, I most definitely know you. I wonder, I wonder... We could play 20 questions or something. Or, you know, just trade names and see. But that's the boring route.
P.S. Sorry to interrupt the Miserables discussion - carry on...

All familiar names. I lived with Bridget for a couple years at SJU. I think - think - she may be one of my few contemporaries left. Everyone non-co-op who started school with me is graduating this year. And I think most of those folks took Vergil last term with me. I pop by the classics lounge occasionally, but usually I find it too crowded. Don't suppose you were out at the Heather Dale show Thursday? I noticed a few of the usual suspects there - Joni and few others. I think the biggest hint I can give you is that I'm NOT a member of Classics, but I AM a Latin Geek. Everyone else doing upper-year stuff is part of the faculty, I believe.
Sorry to everyone else for this thread de-rail. In order to pretend that I am still contributing to the main discussion, I will offer that I also hated Death of a Salesman.

Interesting... I was in fact *supposed* to be at the Heather Dale show with Joni et al. but wound up not going. Hmmm...Latin geeks, Latin geeks. Who else do I know of? I'll have to think about this. And yes, the Classics Closet is either pretty crowded or empty most of the time. Handy place to go get distracted though. Alright, guess number one. You're not Crystal, are you?
Edit: Oh, yes. Main discussion. Ummm... Oh! I saw Les Belles Soeurs once, and it was fantastic. I'm sure it would have been even better in French, but I probably understood it better in English and it was still great.
Hint 2: I am the direct cause and sole beneficiary of LAT 391 this term. Okay, it's a crummy hint, but I'm trying to think of what might make me distinctive. I usually blend into the background.

Honours Arts Applied Studies Co-op (Religious Studies).
EDIT: Actual serious question here: Anyone know the name of a French musical that played a few years ago, about Notre Dame Cathedral, and some refugee squatters? I only saw one song, and it didn't have subtitles, so I'm working from some very fuzzy memories here. It was also playing in Rome last February, I think.

Huh. Ummm...okay, this guessing thing isn't so easy. But that cuts out Sarah and Steph and Tamsin and...everybody. Let's get more obvious. Hair colour? Glasses?

Dark hair, shoulder-length, give or take. Glasses, but I wear my contacts a lot. Earrings. I'm engaged to a guy I met online (Bridget knows this, and I have no idea what rumors get around). Make up extremely rare, often have a big deep blue scarf I wear. Have an official Latin Minor. I've never taken any Greek classes. I hang around Leah a lot, if you know her.
I have no idea what else I could add. I'm really an invisible person.

Hmm. I'll have to see if I can figure you out! I don't know that you'd know me. I'm the relatively loud one who always tutored Greek...which wouldn't tell you much I guess. I was in Curchin's LAT 100A in 2001, and Robertson's LAT 100B with Bridget a couple years ago; I don't know if you were in those too. Well, I'll figure you out...
As for the musical, was it a take on the Hunchback story, or a different story altogether? "Notre Dame de Paris" was a French musical out on video a few years ago, based on Hugo's novel...?

I was in Napran's 100A class in '01, and Curchin's 100B. I was in Neuru's 203 course Fall '02. Would you have been in that one?
I have no idea if the Hunchback was involved int he play. The song was about the age of cathedrals, that's all I remember.

It is funny. I saw part of a TV version of a play once (I don't really know it was a play but it just didn't have that 'written for TV feel') and all I can remember is that Susanna...oh, Susanna whatshername who plays Jane in the BBC Pride & Prejudice was climbing through a window. I've always wondered what it was because the bit I saw was interesting, but that's not much to go on.
Edit: Oh, alright fine. Ruin the fun. Who are you?
Edit II: And of course, if I still don't know you I'll feel very silly!

Hmm. Okay, I've seen you around a few times. I'm Polly, if that means anything to you, and I'll have to do some digging to find a picture of me...

(Last offtopic post, honest! Well, here, anyway).
Ah heck. I always liked this one. Mostly because people pay more attention to the puppy in the picture than me. And yes, you've gotten a lot of aggelos emails from me... I always forget how many people are actually on that list! Anyway, perhaps I'll see you around then. Nice meeting you...again!
