Eminently Quotable Edgar

A friend of mine was just cast as Edgar in a local production of King Lear, a prospect I find both exciting (because Edgar is an awesome role) and alarming (because, if you're Edgar, you have to spent most of the evening capering about half-naked and covered in mud, muttering some of the most ludicrous gibberish). So... good luck with that, buddy! 

Hamlet: Dramatis Personae

I put this together ahead of a planned project to render the entirety of Hamlet  (or at least an extremely distilled entirety) in stick-figure form. It's a handy-dandy reference guide to all the characters in Hamlet , including the ones nobody remembers. Nobody ever remembers Voltemand and Cornelius. Cornelius doesn't even have a line of his own - he just says "In that and all things will we show our duty" along with Voletmand. Voltemand has all the longer solo bits about Norway. Poor Cornelius.

Time Travelling Records

It's going to shock those of you who don't work in libraries, I know, but book records aren't always correct. Even *gasp* the Library of Congress sometimes makes mistakes. Honestly, if you can't trust the Library of Congress, who can you trust?

I need to thank my co-worker Leigh for providing me with most of my "cataloging disasters" material.
