So far this week I have finished reading Much Ado About Nothing and As You Like It. I loved them both, and I have plenty of thoughts on each of them, but I may have to wait to write about them until I've powered through a few more of these plays. I ONLY HAVE THIRTY-EIGHT-AND-A-HALF DAYS LEFT! I realize "powering through" may not be the best way to fully appreciate Shakespeare's plays, but if I hadn't been such a damned procrastinator I wouldn't find myself having to rush so much to get them all done before my birthday. That's still my goal and, dammit, I'm going to get there.
Only 14 left to go!

ACK! I only have six weeks left! WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?!?
OH NO! My "break" from blogging has turned into a year and half. How did that even happen? In that time, do you know how many Shakespeare plays I've read? ONE! I've read ONE. I read The Taming of the Shrew (it was pretty good, actually). And that's it.
If you've read this blog before (and bless you if you have) you may know that the whole reason I wanted to read all of Shakespeare's plays in the first place is because back when I was twelve I decided I wanted to have read them all by the time I was 40. And now my 40th birthday is in SIX WEEKS and I'm nowhere near done. But I still want to try because otherwise I feel like I'm breaking a promise to 12-year-old me AND I'VE HAD SO MUCH TIME.
So here goes. The rest of Shakespeare in six weeks. I can do this. I can do this. (God, I wish I had already finished the histories...damn those histories)
Next up: Um...let's go with Much Ado About Nothing...is that the one with Don Pedro? Have I already read that one? I'll have to go check.
UPDATE: Much Ado About Nothing it is! Wish me luck!

Day 75: My Shakespeare Year is on hold for a few days...Here, have a Joss Whedon trailer!
I have to take a few days off from reading and blogging to go out of town, so in the meantime, have you seen the trailer for the new Much Ado About Nothing, directed by Joss Whedon? Let's be honest, this is as much work as I put into a regular blog post some days, so you're not missing that much.
p.s. Am I the only one who can't figure out if the whole movie is in black-and-white or not?
