POLONIUS: What do you read, my lord?

HAMLET: Words, words, words.

I confess, I didn’t get an awful lot done over the weekend. Just finished doing a couple peer reviews. Today I spent finishing my English lessons and readings for the week so I’ll have time to work on the essay due Friday. I did some Spanish and linguistics too for some variation.

“But, orderly to end where I begun,

Our wills and fates do so contrary run

That our devices still are overthrown.

Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own.”

Perhaps a more apt quotation would lie in saying I do protest too much, methinks. Despite my productivity, this work was actually to put off doing the assignments due tomorrow in French and my other linguistics class. Oops.

“This is the excellent foppery of the world, that, when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeit of our own behaviour, we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars; as if we were villains on necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical pre-dominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforc’d obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrusting on.”

Oliver gets into the first bus he finds and drives straight to James when he figures it all out. James and Oliver live happily ever after together in an old library.

Exeunt omnes.

For someone who loved words as much as I did, it was amazing how often they failed me.

Im still at the beginning of “ if we were villain-M.L. rio’ and lemme just say that Oliver is giving a big ken-nery moments, Like the Ken energy is strong especially with James. Like he’s totally fine that he’s the sidekick, that he’s just some guy that hangs around his cool friends.
