What I am Reading:
Starship Troopers, by Robert Heinlein
One thing that I just recently learned is that Robert Heinlein popularized the acronym TANSTAAFL. Thank you, Robert Heinlein. Starship Troopers is a moral/philosophical novel cloaked in the guise of science fiction. Which means that I love the moral/philosophical parts and I am trying to like the sci-fi, "powered armor" parts. (Apparently, "power suits" mean different things to sci-fi than they do to the eighties).
What I am Listening To:
Urinetown. Duh. Is it hard to be in a show that is nominally about bodily functions?
Yes, sometimes it is. Mostly because I don't want my family to hate it and I feel like they will.

Razhumikin: a character from Crime & Punishment, derived from the word "razum" (I think) which indicates reason and intelligence. Razzmatazz: bewildering language-- or a raspberry-flavored liqueur. That's this blog, in a nutshell. (I hate that phrase, "in a nutshell.")
Welcome!
So--this is my blog. I'd suggest reading the first post first. (The first post is very important because it indicates that I, personally, do not know how to pronounce Razhumikin, and also gives the goals of this blog so you can judge whether or not I am meeting them.) From there, you can read whatever you like.
About Me
- Claire
- Hi, I'm just your average serious student, musical theatre snob, Christian-oriented amateur philosopher, and, generally, I haven't discovered myself yet. I have a pixie cut and a Production Staff Award for my dramaturgical work on a Shakespeare show, and I am very proud of both of these things. I love Jane Austen, Arrested Development, and my good friends.
It sounds like fun... and French
