I spent an undetermined amount of time dreaming last night/this morning about how I just had to find out if a definition of a word was what I dreamed it was, so as soon as I woke up, I turned to my phone, squinted and was immediately disappointed that "bardio" is is "barre cardio" and not "Shakespeare cardio ( Read more... )

A generally quite great past couple of days!

I'm always thinking about different ways I want to see Macbeth staged. Obviously, I have a zillion thoughts and feelings about Lady M, but I also am super invested in how you present the witches. Maybe it was this photoset that got me thinking about it again, but I always want to see Weird Sisters who aren't horrible and deformed and grotesque. I ( Read more... )

Man, I am just feeling good and optimistic about the world today, which I am all for. I rewatched Winter Soldier last night, pretty much all while standing up (yay standing desks!), which allowed me to fully dance out my feelings of loving literally everyone in that goddamn movie.

I think I have to come to terms with the fact that I'm never going to finish the fic where Hotspur and Hal were born to different fathers. I found the prompt through Yuletide and knew immediately how to do it, but the execution started to snarl me up and then I kept running up against the fact that writing about Jeremy Irons' King Henry in Henry IV ( Read more... )

Why is laughter so hard to fake? Turns out we can tell ( Read more... )

I worry a lot about when the optimal time to post things is. Right now it's 9:18 in the morning in Chicago, which means I keep wondering if 10:18 on the East Coast (and 3:18 p.m. in the UK, and 7:18 a.m. Pacific time) is all wrong to hope people will click on a link at all, not to mention one as heavy as this. But I feel like DW, at least, is a ( Read more... )

How early is too early on a Sunday to post explicit porn? Like, I'm so pleased with/proud of this fic, which is without question the longest bit of smut I've ever written by myself. It's got feelings and character arcs too! And Shakespeare, and actor nonsense. What I'm saying is this is the thing I've been working on since the end of last month, ( Read more... )
