Blargh.

Been sick lately. Feels like I’ve been kicked in the lungs and brain every day for the past five days. Best part? Got sick after visiting the Bodies exhibit at a museum in Cincinnati, so I know exactly what the body parts look like which are now filled with phlegm.
Read Bill Bryson’s Shakespeare: The World as Stage. Good book. Bryson is a hell of stylish author who makes the English language look like a drunken brawl in a brothel – violent, unpredictable, not particularly classy, but a fun time for everyone involved. Apparently there’s no actual scholarly doubt as to whether Shakespeare authored the plays, but Sigmund Freud thought for a time that the true author of Shakespeare’s works was a “Jacques Pierre.” Jacques Pierre. That is the most magnificently French name imaginable. It’s like a German guy named “Gunther Wilhelm Deutschlandmann.” Glorious.
