There was some small bit of joy in his sonnets, Jen. #18 (Shall I compare thee to a summer's day) does lament that people grow old and die, but he thinks that the youth's beauty shall outlast death, even if it's in the words of the sonnet. Which, I think would be appropriate for a wedding reading..
Other than that, yeah. There's chock-full-o'bitter.
(and man, it's going to be hard not to dip into the bath stuff myself, it smells so good)
JZ, that stuff is for Yooooooouuuuuuuu!!!!
Enjoy. I got it at a hippy dippy new baby store (called something like Granola Baby) that just opened up in Salem. I could have easily spent $4 gazillion dollars on the organic goods and services there... had a nice time shopping, the folks there were so super cute.
Just thought you should know the fun that went into choosing your gift.
The same thing for mine! Though there is perhaps some delayed reaction with the thing I sent. *g* It was neat to go into the store and poke around, though.
Does anyone (else) remember years ago the BBC did ALL of Shakespeare and, for the wars of the roses ones, used the same actors for the same roles throughout? Gave it some continuity so that it was easier to understand the relationships. One of the bits I remember vividly is at the end Queen Margaret - old, bitter, mostly mad - sitting on a pile of bodies and laughing.
I'll be going to Ti Couz when I'm out in November too. At least once.
hey, everybody. I skipped a lot. I've had the bad, bad crazy vertigo. Like bad enough that I was in the hospital all weekend. I haven't been in the hospital (except to get stitches when I was 2 and get a broken finger set in my 20s) since I was a newborn infant. It was unfun.
I did make up all my sleep debt though, I think.
Oh, no, lisah! Hope you're feeling better now. Ugh.
My back is acting up horribly again.
Oh no, lisah! Did you have vestibular neuritis? I had that and was in the hospital for it, too, so if that was what you had, I can totally empathize with what you just went through. Did they do that awful test where they induce the vertigo so they can watch your eyes go crazy? I told the neurologist I wouldn't be held responsible if I threw up on him.
I hope you're feeling better!
Hope you're feeling better now
I'm sort of better. Well, I'm much better than I was but I'm still not altogether right. but my mom is here taking care of me! She made me cream of wheat this morning. yum
So when do you suppose someone will make the movie
Hamlet - the Prequel
?
