pygmalion day 4

i love the realistic discriptions in the set designs.even with the characters.because they say land marks and artist types and EVERYTHING.it shocks me how much you hear about london and england just by the footnotes.i just feel like it shows how much shaw cared about the reader knowing what's going on.but it could also be because of higgin's job.he has to know where things are from,especially for the reader's sake and dialogue.

i find it funny how everyone's assumsion of eliza is that her and higgns are in love or a relationship or something romantic.even shaw,when he didnt want anything to happen to them,he puts it in the character's mind.which in turn will put it in the audiance's mind.

its interesting to see how the characters(freddy,the rich mother and daughter)come back,only for higgins to see that they know eliza and him from the day they all met.like finding out some random person you saw on the street is your mother's closest friend.

and how does freddy speak?he says ahdedo as how do you do.does he have a cockney accent too?or something similair?or is he just talking that way to be funny or polite?

i love higgins idea of honesty."what they think they ought to think is bad enough..but what they really think would break up the whole show"then he goes on to say how his true thoughts are too rude basically for the conversation.i would think,seeing how he blurts everything else out like he doesn't care,it wouldn't be too rude.i like his ideals about honest talking.and i really agree.were polite about things we feel we should say,but is that what we really want to say?most likely not.

but after that small ordeal,eliza comes for her first "test".

pg-100
today i helped fix the orcastra pit with was being the bigest pain in the but,ever.we never really fixed it.it still sticks up about half an inch.at several points i just wantd to jump on it and force it down.thats how annoying it was.and i painted!that was fun,kinda.i got paint on my ands,feet,and knees somehow.but i really like teching.because i feel like talent isn't really an issue,its kinda your brain when your just doing things like painting,i mean it oviously takes talent for designing any part of tech,but as a worker,your brain helpss you more than talent.
