Oops, I dropped my Edgar Allan Poe poems! (leans down to grab them and my headphones fall off my head and begin playing the Jekyll and Hyde musical) Oh my gosh, how clumsy of me! (Trips over my copy of Frankenstein and falls) Oh no! I’ve just knocked over my Picture of Dorian Gray! What Crime have I committed to deserve this Punishment?

I'm really enjoying this book by R.C. Sproul, and the opportunity to learn about the classical reformed perspective.
Also, my latte yesterday was beautiful. Baristas rock.

every single day it boggles my mind that jean jaques rousseau is like a famous historical figure and philosopher. imagine ur a philosopher in late seventeenth century france who was never remembered past your lifetime because some misogynistic, uneducated, random loser with mommy issues and low self esteem randomly got famous for takes that weren’t even original or good.
yes ill concede that jj did write the social contract which was like somewhat good but also most of what’s in the social contract was also already written by john locke like 100 years ago. his other books are just “men should be educated but not women” which was not a new take and “i’m still thinking about the moral ramifications of things that happened to me in the fifth grade”
like if you read “confessions” (his autobiography) it literally sounds like a youtuber book. if this post gets any traction at all i will do side by side comparisons of youtuber books with jj rousseau quotes because it’s genuinely uncanny and it drives me marbles.

My daily reminder to not go into a long Tangent to why Dante is an insufferable writer but actually only the second most annoying piece of shit in Italy literature
I have OPINIONS on Italian authors AND I CAN'T SHARE THEM BECAUSE WHO DOES THAT AFTER HIGHSCHOOL
I am very normal and my very normal obsession is with older text
Calvino is a bitch but inoffensive enough to me.
LEOPARDI IS MY MAN I WILL FISTFIGHT FOR HIM ANY MOMENT!

Literature fun fact of the day:
Herman Melville, author of Moby Dick, was best known during his life for the stories he wrote about his adventures at sea. Typee, his first published work, recounts "the narrators" time spent with a cannibal tribe in the Marquesas Islands. Because these stories enjoyed a based-on-real-events status, and Melville did indeed find himself captive to a tribe that practiced cannibalism, a -still- popular rumor circulated that Melville himself participated in cannibalism during his time in the Islands. Rather than making him a taboo subject within the mid 1800s household, the rumor, along with a populous craving for adventure, helped make him a household name.

When you go to the Globe in London to see a Shakespeare play, of course you take LEGO Shakespeare with you! Little Bill was extremely pleased with their production of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM.

I edited my friend's podcast for one of our literary courses while drunk.
Now when I'm sober, I don't think it was such a good idea anymore...
But if she won't get an A, I'll go and fight the teacher. My drunk self put some genuine work in that thing!

Everyone thinks that dick was the golden child when in reality it was Jason.
Clark: Bruce who was your favourite robin?
Dick: obviously it’s me?
Tim: it’s dick
Damian: I am superior robin, it will be me.
Bruce: it’s Jason
Everyone: WHAT?!?!???
Bruce: why are you so surprised? He didn’t jump on too my chandeliers which I had to replace each week
*everyone looks at dick*
Bruce: he didn’t drop out of school
*everyone looks at tim*
Bruce: I didn’t have to stop him from killing everyone who annoyed him
*everyone looks at Damian*
Bruce: in fact, he enjoyed school and handed all his homework in on time, we would spend hours in the library reading his favourite classics. He even helped Alfred with most of the cooking, He was my little boy
Jason: stop spreading lies, I hate you go away
Bruce: my precious little boy

I'm a few chapters into this book; I saw it recommended on Pinterest and impulsively requested it from the library not long ago (even though I'm supposed to be reading the books I already own instead of getting new ones from the library or buying more... but I have a problem, so...) So far, I'm really enjoying it. I find the tone very romantic, which is pretty atypical of books dealing with finances.

Odysseus harmonizes with Scylla at the end of Syclla's song just like Athena had once harmonized with him, because he AGREES with her that they're the same because HE IS A MONSTER--but all he can bring himself to say is "I--" because he doesn't want to be the man-made monster but he must be!!!
