Sinopsis:

Ain't Miss Saint is a solo play that I saw yesterday and really liked. It tells an episode of a dialogue between a female pupil and her female teacher, that fantasise themselves mutually, arguing in a power confront - a fight of gender and class.

A pupil argues about the rate of an exam. Standing in front of a table, the teacher's table, the teacher that rated her so badly, the teacher that she calls a master, and Júlia, the pupil protests. And tests him, the master. She doesn't tell why she's here, not before tormenting him, the master.

But behind the table there's no one. Julia is talking towards and empty chair and a table that, pulled by a rope, insists in running from her. And when the table is getting out of scene, Júlia turns into the person who she's arguing with, but it's not a Master... but She's also not Miss Saint.

They'll keep playing, so if you get a chance to see this, I recommend it.

Hi there! Do you want some free cards? You just have to manage to translate this... I know, I know, this will be a piece of cake for Portuguese people :-P

Updating from Fedora Core 4 to Fedora Core 5

I lookeed for this on the web yesterday, and didn't find out the info I needed, so I'm posting this here in hopes that I might help somebody in a similar situation. Since today FC6 is out there, I guess that many people will be looking, like me, to update their FC4 to FC5. If, while doing it (via yum upgrade) you come across a depency that tells you that some packages can't have their dependencies unmet, and one of them is kudzu, that depends on a lower version of the kernel than the one FC5 has, then you just have to remove kudzu. If yum whines about it and tries to remove the kernel in the process, force its removal using rpm. FC5 kernel's don't use kudzu anymore, but they don't kill that dependency either. Since you have to remove kudzu, I just hope that the newer kernel boots well, since booting with the FC4 will turn out (I suspect) impossible.
