Chapter 6, Page 15 A different approach

She liked to finger paint with other people's blood.

Dad has a very strange sense of humor. I'd probably find it stranger if I didn't share it. lol

Well, it's still Monday, so technically this update is on time. Sorry for my tardiness, I got distracted at school and ended up coming home late. My rabbit wasn't happy about it, either.

FYI, that's a real book. If you're having trouble getting into Shakespeare or just want a lighter touch to the tragedies I strongly recommend it.

Chapter 6, Page 14 She's not you.

Mary is not her Dad.

To quote Mama Gord from Fraggle Rock, "Oh dear, you've forgotten which one of us you are again."

There are certain problems inherit in having two people so very similar sharing living space. The one illustrated here is that it's easy to forget that there *are* differences. One wonders if Dad was this facinated by Shakespeare when he was thirteen.

Chapter 6, Page 13 We need to talk.

We need to talk.

Feel the power of wife.

The McAlisters are of thoroughly Northern European stock, and there's something kind of special about them. Traditionally, they treat their women like human beings.

More than that, their women can be truly terrifying.

What Roman historian said while describing the terror of the barbarians, "And beware lest he call upon his woman, for she is even for fearsome than he!"

The next episode is going to be really tough. There's a lot of talking and I'm not entirely sure how to get it to work in the format. But it will be fun.

Chapter 6, Page 6 TOME

The big book of tiny words.

The only thing that's made up is the word "TOME" engraved on the cover. That I did for dramatic effect. The actual title of the book is The River Side Shakespeare. It really is that big and has tiny, tiny type on union skin paper.

A person could go blind trying to read that monstrosity.

Chapter 6, Page 5 Recovering English Teacher

Recovering English teachers are scary.

No, Dad didn't actually say that. Yes, he did react that strongly.

He's very passionate about literature.

Oh and sorry about the odd schedule this week. T.T I'm so sorry. Hopefully I'm settled into the new routine now.
