what can I say? I've got another blog running around somewhere but I need to discover how it works before i post a link. Why do I have a blog now? I dunno. I'm procrastinating on my Shakespeare homework. Yeah . . . Doesn't this weblog thing make you guys feel vulnerable?

I've been reading Romeo and Juliet for homework this week and I just got through Act III. Dorks, all of them. But there are some neat quotes that come out of Shakespeare's silly eyelashflittings.

Like Gregory saying "To move is to stir, and to be valiant is to stand; therefore, if thou art mov'd thou run'st away." which is great cause Sampson was making a fool out of himself talking about the C.s and M.s

This is cool too--shows that at least somebody thought that emotions aren't all there is to the Mind (not like R or J actually act likethere is):"Black and portendous must this humor prove, Unless good counsel may the cause remove."

And then one of my favorites--and it doesn't just reply to the eros of Romeo and Juliet, either--

"O brawling love! O loving hate!
O any thing, of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness, serious vanity,
Misshapen choas of well-seeming forms,
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health,
Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
This love I feel, that no love feel in this.
Dost thou not laugh?"

I found out, on the next page, that the past tense of "help" is "holp". I'll show it to you if you don't believe me:) Shakespeare was a nut.

But then there's something Lewis said in thebeginning of MC that made sense when....erm. its the other way around. This makes sense--"virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied, And vice sometime by action dignified."

Ok, now i really gotta move . . . I still have Stuff to do before I head over to start pretending like I'm setting up chairs.
