tsukikageAct 4, Scene 1
Edgar's comments in his opening speech, on the advbantage of being "the worst," are echoed and re-echoed with his father's entrance. When, paradoxically, can we finally say, "this is the worst" (as in line 27)?
What exactly is he asking? What the lowest point in the scene is?
Wishing I had gone to HP6, since I'm not getting to sleep anyway. Hopefully I'll make myself tired enough to get to sleep soon, since I have to be out of the house by 9 tomorrow for a relatively long shift.
Why loudtwitter hasn't been working.
Might be going to Mitsuwa with Ellie on Sunday if I'm not working. Which reminds me, I put in my request to get the day of the JLPT off. I still don't know if I''ll be ready for it, but when I realized that day was during the vacation blackout period at Best Buy, in a panic I talked to my "supervisor", and he said I should be able to get a single day off, but I should put my request in right away. There's a good chance I'll have to leave Sunday morning and come back Sunday night, though, although if I get off work early enough on Saturday I'd like to leave Saturday night and get a good rest in the hostel overnight. Actually, with the bus scheduled to arrive at Union Station at 8:45 am on August 30th (my "test date", since the schedule isn't made that far in advance), I might have to leave the night before if I'm going to guarantee making it to the test site on time. I dunno, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, I guess.
[EDIT: My eventual answer: I’m not entirely sure what this question is asking, but when one says “This is the worst”, they can only compare the situation with the past. In other words, “the worst” can always get worse.]
[EDIT 2: Finally feel like I can go to sleep. At 3:19 am. Joy. Hopefully my 4 hour "nap" earlier today will make tomorrow less miserable. At least I had the sense to prepare my tea and lunch and take a shower earlier today. G'night, all.]
