Hey, congratulations! I have followed the Shakespeare series with avid interest :0)

What's next for the tortoise Netflix?

Thanks! (For what it's worth, if you're ever planning on doing something like this, I recommend choosing an order which doesn't involve consecutive viewings of Timon of Athens, Coriolanus, and Pericles.)

I'm not planning anything nearly so interesting in the near future (probably nothing particularly worth blogging about). The highbrow queue--which has been all Shakespeare for the last year--is currently populated with a few alternate versions of Shakespeare plays, some Masterpiece Theater, and the Emma Thompson Sense and Sensibility.

Ta da!

You did it! Congratulations are in order.
I have Ripp's Will-In-The-Box whenever you want him.

I'm technically signed up for LiveJournal, but my user name isn't on the long list I have of rarely used passwords. Oh well.
