Am I still reading ancient Greek plays? Well yes, I am. My new blog post is about "Philoctetes" by Sophocles.

Red squirrels are so lovely, but I don't remember having seen them around. Only see grey squirrels, which are from America. Dang immigrants 🙄.

The past few days, I have been resisting the urge to tweet about politics, but it's impossible to be silent about this vile protest, even if it's just a small group. How low, how twisted are these people? .
In Dewsbury, these people are protesting against the convictions of Pakistani grooming gang culprits. They genuinely believe that they are the real victims of a smear campaign and lies. Not the thousands of young girls raped. Disgusting. They all need to be investigated.

I have heard Norway's national anthem a million times (used to live in Norway), this is the best rendition so far.

Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides each wrote about 100 plays. Calderón wrote 100-200. Lope de Vega wrote hundreds of plays (or 1,500 if you believe his number). Shakespeare wrote about 40 plays. What a lazy bum.

Muting the thread as annoying people have appeared. Read Shakespeare, folks! Watch "Macbeth" with Ian McKellen & Judi Dench. Watch "Coriolanus" with David Oyelowo. Watch Kurosawa's "Ran".
