Okay, I will be the first to say it -- that is a sick tune. '

No, I have no shame.

April 23rd was my birthday! And it was also Shakespeare Day! Justin Kurzel's version of Macbeth is one of my favorite adaptation.

Some falls are means the happier to arise."

A landscape photo of an almost completely frozen waterfall, sunlit from the left. The sky is clear blue apart from a few small clouds, and on the horizon are some impressive snow-covered mountains. The middle of the shot is mostly brown rock with ice patches, but in the centre is a cascade dropping in little steps to a canyon in the foreground. The terraces that this falls is dropping onto are caked with thick crusts of ice and water is only flowing in a few small areas. The near bank of the rift is visible at the bottom of the photo, and is very icy.

    A rosé by any other name would smell as sweet.

    Questions over Shakespeare’s authorship began in his lifetime, scholar claims

    "New research suggests some 16th-century writers were confident Shakespeare was the pseudonym of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford"
