A Company of Fools: Henry
V
Henry the Fifth is described as a
boy-meets-girl story with a twist. Like Freddy Prince Jr. in that
movie where the twist was that the girl was pretty even without her
glasses (but hopefully H.V's twist is better).
Henry V has also been compared to Saving Private Ryan and Before Sunrise.

From the info tab: “The production
promises blood and battle, bravery and romance, all with the Fool-ish
twists audiences have come to know and love!”
It's running question about what it
means to be a monarch would totally resonate with anyone who's into
Game of Thrones
right now.

Van Gogh: Up Close
Eeee. On the Internet, the
round-up for Van Gogh “Fun Facts” include he had many mental
and physical conditions, he was named after his stillborn brother,
and also that he died two days after he shot himself...
These facts are barely
fun and definitely troubling.
Presenting: Ottawa This Weekends Fun Spin on Vincent Van Gogh Fun Facts:
Presenting: Ottawa This Weekends Fun Spin on Vincent Van Gogh Fun Facts:
- It is popularly believed that Van Gogh cut off his entire ear but some say he only lobbed off a bit of the lobe leaving plenty of room for a helix piercing
- Van Gogh died in Auver, France. If he hadn't, imagine how terrible their tourism industry would be since Ireland's got the rolling hills attraction pretty much sewn up.
- Van Gogh was Dutch which means he probably got to eat a lot of herring and mayonnaise
The exhibit is very popular so please bring your patience.
National Gallery of Canada,
380 Sussex Drive. Daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Thursdays to 8 p.m.
Until September 3. $25.00. 613-990-1985.
When travelling through (or playing in) deep water, an elephant will hold his or her nostrils out of the water so they may cross relatively comfortably. Despite their incredible girth, they are very apt swimmers.
Also, baby elephants suck on their trunk for comfort and to soothe themselves when they're nervous or uncertain. Way more adorable than stupid human babies and their plastic pacifiers.

Politely ask to have the circus cancelled.
