Hamlet. Also, moving rooms

Prior to meeting lovely girls last night, I saw Hamlet by the Royal Shakespeare Company. Unfortunately, my fatigue and the warmth of the room caught up with me, and I kept dozing off. Shame, really, because what I saw of it was excellent. Although the woman doing Ophelia and the actors playing Claudius and Gertrude seemed rather lifeless, the man playing Hamlet was superb. And it's a double shame. Although I was in a sort of terrace-level section (not really balcony), I was in the dead center of the auditorium. Dead center. I was thrilled with my seat, but completely unable to watch much of the show. Went back to the room last night, after drinking and meeting cute girls, and found a guy sleeping in my bed. Since virtually everyone else in the room was also trying to sleep and I didn't want to keep them awake while we sorted it all out, I offered to take a new room, provided they had a bed for me. So at about 1:30 last night, I was moving rooms. Brother, what a hassle. Well, I'm off. I'm supposed to meet up some people from the Warren Ellis forum and I need to get going.
