I like reading and running, though not at the same time. I trip enough as it is.

This is the most Boston thing I’ve ever seen with my own two eyes.

Great idea that will have no negative consequences: Witch hunters, but for clowns

[heliicon-archive-blog]

something like this actually happened at UMass Amherst

[onion-souls]

Good. The people of Massachusetts have traditionally been very rational and level-headed in their witchhunts.

The romance of a books naked edges are akin to the visible areas of an iceberg, while the ideas,thoughts and meanings lie unseen from this perspective therein exists its trueness of whole.

Never was there a tale of more woe than that of Juliet and her Romeo

Never was there a tale of more strife than that of Macbeth and his stabby knife

Never was there a tale of more sad than that of Hamlet and his spooky dad

Someone put a Pussyhat on this Very Serious Statue of Edgar Allan Poe in Boston today and it’s giving me Life.

Words, so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become, in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.

Nathaniel Hawthorne, from his American Notebooks (1848)

You’ve sang through part 1 and part 2, so here’s the most recent set of Shakespearean Christmas carols!

Happy holidays to all of you! I will be taking next week off to spend time with my family, but I look forward to seeing you here again in the new year!

2016 has definitely had its full share of heartbreak, but it was also a year of adventure and excitement (and stress and euphoria and terror and learning) as I started working full-time on Good Tickle Brain. Thanks again to all of you for reading and supporting and laughing and generally being a fantastic audience. I look forward to another year of sharing Shakespearean silliness with you.
