I definitely read Romeo & Juliet as making fun of love and the ideals of soulmates, etc. It is really so much more entertaining that way, and makes so much more sense.

Famous Novelists on Symbolism in Their Work and Whether It Was Intentional
I read this great post on John Green's Tumblr, titled Famous Novelists on Symbolism in Their Work and Whether It Was Intentional: "Reading is not a game of Clue; books are not a mystery that you have to solve by putting all the pieces together. That’s not the point. Find the meaning you want to...
There's really not much to like about Great Expectations, or anything Dickens wrote really. GAG. I'm not sure he even liked writing, so much as paying the bills.
1984 scared the living daylights out of me, and definitely made me more paranoid about the government and civil rights. (The movie version, on the other hand, just plain depressed me.)

I'm working on an audiobook -- actually, a series of five audiobooks -- for the next two weeks. I don't know if I can say what it is, but I think it's safe to reveal that it's a classic fantasy series from the 80s, and I'm actually quite surprised it isn't already available in audio. I really li...
Man, I hate stress dreams. Mine are almost always about a task that needs completing, and there are always things blocking me from finishing (including my own befuddlement), and sometimes time moves at a strange pace. The worst are the ones when I am back in high school (augh).
I can never tell if there's a reason for these dreams, or if it's just stress being manifested in my dreams.

Dream casts a human shadow, when it occurs to him to do so.
Last night, while I slept, I found myself standing on the set of Next Generation. I was in my red ensign's uniform, and LeVar was in Geordi's gold engineering uniform. We were in Geordi's quarters, and the entire crew was waiting to roll the cameras on an important scene. But I had no idea why I...
When Marina ran over and hugged you, there were definitely some tears. What a sweet moment!

A lot of incredible and wonderful things happened at the Calgary Expo this weekend, and when I'm not as exhausted I'll write about all of them. Until then, though, here is one of them that I really hope you'll spend 5 minutes watching: If you can't see the video, you can watch it right here a...
Oh my god, that's not far from my house. I must visit it!

Here are three Star Trek-themed things that have come up recently. All of them made me laugh so hard I pooped a little, so they need to be preserved here for the ages. First, from Jimmy James, Inc: For the record, Wesley's dance crew was called Jiffy and da Popz. Next: Last night, Paul of Pa...
