Scholarship

"With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his... That said, I pity the man who can't enjoy Shakespeare."

-- George Bernhard Shaw, on Shakespeare's Cymbeline, the last act of which Shaw rewrote in 1938

I'm fighting senioritis. I turned in the rough draft of my research paper on Wicked. A week early.

The problem with staying on the ball is, your legs get tired fast. Here it is, "South Park" night, and I'm hitting the hay at 12:08AM.

because I laid me down, I slept
away the soul I might have kept,
so give me wine and give me bread
to make my soul come back instead.
