Since I started teaching good ol' Mackers this week, I'm finding this allusion especially amusing.
I have to watch the Netflix disc of the Ian McKellen/Judi Dench Macbeth tonight (zonked out last night), so lots of Macbeth to go around!!

Oh!
They've released some more information on the "culprit." It turns out the fire was started accidentally by a homeless man who lives up in the brush above the golf course. He fell asleep while smoking a cigarette. They're not charging him with arson after all, apparently. He was badly burned by his own idiocy, so that's probably punishment enough.

The status is NOT quo.

That's the one I'm using (along with clips from the Polanski version) to supplement our own reading and acting! I'm also having them listen to a BBC radio version for certain scenes. It was cute seeing girls in cute uniform skirts be "witches" today.

I just attended a benefits meeting in which the Aflac representative and I were heckled by a demonically possessed goat masquerading as a duck.

Um. That's different. How's your temperature doing?

The best Macbeth I've ever seen was by this troupe [link] Halloween night under the stars in the performance dome at Centenary College. A quick look at the website tells me they still head down there. I may try to catch them next year.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

The goat-duck was Aflac swag. You squeeze it and it spouts advertising lines about Aflac. Only the goat? Kept AFLAC!ing us with no outside intervention, like the opposite of the Warner Brothers frog.
Anyway, I was hassled by a goat in duck's clothing while talking about coverage for "paps and mams." I need a cigarette. And possibly a shot of tequila.
