Highlights from a paper I'm writing:

--"The Comedy of Errors is based on that good old-fashioned tale of mistaken identity—no really, it is based on a play that was probably written around the year 200 BC."

--"William Shakespeare found such inspiration in Plautus’ Menaechmi, or The Twin Brothers. It is a story of twin brothers (surprise!) who were separated at a very young age."

--"Thus commences a classic comedy of crumbling marriages, debtors and creditors, nearly incestuous relationships, narrowly avoided domestic violence, a courtesan, a nun, and two sets of identical twin brothers! And this was Shakespeare’s shortest play!"

I'm semi-seriously considering submitting this to Honor's Day--and I'm not even halfway done with it!

Also I should add that the paper is tentatively titled "Comedy of Errors--Comedy of Wonders!"

Exciting!

A few weeks ago Alicia Rachel Baker told me I was quickly becoming one of her favorite people; last week I was made. "You are definitely one of my favorite people" she said while laughing at one of my many witticisms.

Yessssssss.
