Still sick, but I'm definitely getting better.

I have to bring Timon of Athens and The Light Fantastic back to the library today. The Light Fantastic was indeed fantastic.

Timon of Athens was neat. Let me summarize it for you: Timon has money, he's really friendly, he gives everybody gifts, he realizes he's broke, he moves into a cave and hates everybody, he dies in the end. This made me inexplicably giddy. All proper Shakespeare ends with a death.

However, I noticed that Alcibiades never actually does anything in the play. Oh, sure, he thinks about doing things, but all he really does is get mad. I like that name, though, Alcibiades.

I'll probably stop in at Espresso on my way home. Hopefully it won't be completely empty, like last time.
