Verona Crisis

Hey. So, I was fulling intending for A Stick-Figure Hamlet to be back up and running this week, but I’ve been so distracted/preoccupied/anxious/stressed out these past two weeks that I completely lost the ability to concentrate on my work. I’m hoping my brain will settle down soon, but for now, here’s some topical filler.

Note: I can’t take credit for coming up with “Verona crisis”. I don’t know who originated that, unfortunately; it’s been going around my Shakespeare circles like wildfire lately.

Some more filler coming up on Thursday. Stay safe, stay inside, stay healthy everyone.

The Fretful Porpentine (Remastered)

Hey! So, I’m still a bit o’erwhelmed, because my week “off” that I was supposed to use to get caught up on Life ended up being used to prepare for and freak out about our current pandemic, which has finally hit my corner of the globe. So, I’ve thrown together a couple filler items to keep us going for another week before I get back to A Stick-Figure Hamlet, starting with a remastered version of The Fretful Porpentine!

I will never get tired of the fretful porpentine.
