When I'm not busy with 1001 more pressing things, I'm a writer, researcher, editor, English tutor and cheese-lover.

Phew! #DavidTennant playing #Hamlet (on BBC Four right now) is taking my breath away!

How does Hamlet? Mad!

Awesome acting. Would love to see him as Iago, and hope I last long enough for when he ages into King Lear.

@SirPatStew is awesome as well
👍👍all around.

"I’ll be revenged on the whole pack of you," I growl, brandishing my biggest kitchen knife above the defenseless packet of bacon that absolutely refuses to "pull here to open." Grrr!

"O, that this too too solid flesh would melt." Diet's not going quite to plan. I think that packet of Jaffa Cakes (I just ate) may have something to do with it.

"Fillet of a fenny snake, in the cauldron boil and bake; eye of newt and toe of frog, wool of bat and tongue of dog, adder's fork and blind-worm's sting, lizard's leg and owlet's wing." Sheesh! Zucchini bread recipes are getting more and more complicated.

"Fie, fie! Unknit that threat’ning unkind brow, and dart not scornful glances from those eyes, to wound thy lord, thy king, thy governor." Every time I look at myself in that darned lying mirror.

I was thinking we could refer to X as The Website Formerly Known As Twitter, just to annoy Ol' Musky. Then I realized Prince had to change his name because his old record company were being a bag of penis enhancements. While Ol' Musky is made from that same bag, I like Prince more than I dislike Twitter and wouldn't want to cheapen what he had to go through just for a dig at X. So, let's not do that. #Prince #X #Twitter #elonmusk

I am so looking forward to this. Carey Mulligan and Bradley Cooper in #Maestro

It looks beautiful and is about the life of one of my fave composers, Leonard Bernstein.

"What, art thou mad? art thou mad? Is not the truth
the truth?" My reaction whenever I accidentally tune in to Fox News.

"Oh, beware, my lord, of jealousy! It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on." My stomach when the waiter brings my food, but I've just seen what the next table ordered.
