So it's Shakespeare's birthday today. Here's a great list of resources on Shakespeare posted by Semicolon. Here's my post about his birthday last year.
Oh yeah, and that was my first day of blogging, so it's also my blog's first birthday. Here's my first post.
I have very much enjoyed blogging this year even though I doubt my readership has ever reached the double digits on any one day. Happy birthday to me.
Happy Birthday! and congratulations on your first anniversary. I enjoy your blog, even though (or because?) I still haven't worked out where Tecwil is.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, and keep writing,
Lynette
Did you ever get an answer to you "is that Patrick Stewart the Star Trek guy" question?
ReplyDeleteIt was. He's a classically trained actor who was part of the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal National Theatre.
Happy Birthday to the Bard.
Oh, and a very happy blogiversary to you!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lynette!
ReplyDeleteNo, Amy, I never got an answer to the question, though I thought it must be the same guy. Wish I could have seen him do Shakespeare! And thanks for the birthday wishes too. :-)
Happy birthday, dear blo-og. Always did love reading your stuff. Kudos. --Andy
ReplyDeleteThe Royal Shakespeare Company did a series of performances in our town this past fall - and Patrick Stewart was among them. I didn't happen to bump into him on the street, but I was standing behind another RSC actor one day while waiting to order soup. (I only knew this because other people there obviously recognized him and were talking to him about how much he was going to miss the soup place when he left. I guess he was a regular!)
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, Happy First to your blog! :^)
"So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
ReplyDeleteSo long lives this and this gives life to thee."
And may thy blog celebrate many more anniversaries!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes, everybody!
ReplyDeleteThere is a great piece of writing about Shakespeare by an English writer called Bernard Levin, it is very clever because it is allquotes which show how much Shakespeare has contrbuted to the English language. A frind of my momintroduced it to me. I like the one on this link because it puts the quotes in italics, other versions on the web have it all in the same text, so it is harder to read.
