How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

"Time-Wastingly Ironic"

Good quote from B. Johnson, Mayor of London, today about the cigar case.

Keeping a good journal in the Shakespeare to date. Tonight should be good with Costin. More discussion re: the 2009, for sure.

Good Johnny Cash last night. Self-penned The Man in Black: "Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day, And tell the world that everything's OK, But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back, 'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black." And The Wanderer: "I went out there In search of experience To taste and to touch And to feel as much As a man can Before he repents I went out searching Looking for one good man A spirit who would not bend or break Who would sit at his father's right hand I went out walking With a bible and a gun The word of God lay heavy on my heart I was sure I was the one Now Jesus, don't you wait up Jesus, I'll be home soon Yeah I went out for the papers Told her I'd be back by noon Yeah I left with nothing But the thought you'd be there too Looking for you Yeah I left with nothing Nothing but the thought of you I went wandering." Every word now an exhortation forward. Away. Soon. Yes.

What else? Tick tock. We wait. Random Mellotones nights and Icelandic Schnapps leading to the futon, elation/depression, Hope above all.
