well I'd been having these horrific abdominal pains for the past 3 weeks or so...and last thursday they got so bad that I doubled over in pain and couldn't move and nearly passed out in the car on the way to the emergency room. When they took my blood to be tested they noticed my liver is all messed up, so they want to take an ultrasound of my liver and stomach.
"Applause begets applause in the theatre, as laughter begets laughter and tears beget tears."
CLAYTON HAMILTON, "Theory of the Theatre"
"I think theater ought to be theatrical ... you know, shuffling the pack in different ways so that it's -- there's always some kind of ambush involved in the experience. You're being ambushed by an unexpected word, or by an elephant falling out of the cupboard, whatever it is."
TOM STOPPARD
