The Comedy of Errors: The Party (Part One)

Oh no! Either Beau has just spotted Javi Coromina gleefully preparing to launch into another series of Chuck Norris jokes, or he's anticipating the posting of pictures from the Cast Party of The Comedy of Errors.
In lieu of actual witticisms from Javi (an occurrence that would truly occasion a party), here are some of the most memorable moments from the Cast Party, which was hosted graciously by Elber Cruz. Lest people believe that this blog is trying to metamorphose into http://www.javicorominafacts.com (no, don’t even trying going to that url; much like the owner whose life it fictitiously tries to document, there is nothing there), let’s take the time out to remember our production crew and the beautiful people from make-up.Here’s Karl Tantuico, attempting to single-handedly effect a radical transition to some parallel universe where this picture absolutely makes sense. Athena (on the left) is graciously trying to forget that Karl has not imbibed any alcoholic drinks at all, and is already behaving as if he had copious amounts of an alcoholic beverage that some would refer to as “a sterile beast of burden”.
Ah yes. In the study of the humanities, one often finds numerous puerile references to experiences in which “a picture is worth a thousand words” or some such cliché; as I sit here checking papers from otherwise intelligent students who seem to have no idea how to manage their time properly, my eyes bleed, a painful sensation which I correspondingly transfer with great relish to their “papers”. And yet, despite the fact that I am in full possession of my faculties, and absolutely loathe the intellectual laziness that the use of clichés normally represents, I would have to agree. This picture is worth a thousand words. “Sirrah! What say you?”
At long last, we have the moment that all three of my loyal readers have been waiting for: an actual picture of yours truly. Here, I share the spotlight with my fellow thespian, Carla. For those of you might have stumbled onto this blog expecting incisive commentary from Conrado de Quiros, author of the much-lauded collection of essays entitled Flowers from the Rubble I would like to assure you that no prosthetics were applied to my person, nor were any animals harmed in the process of making my face suitable for presentation.
