What it must be like to be irresistible. I’m sure it gets wearing, but I’d still like to give it a try, just for research purposes.

We’ve all been there. At least I have. There there, quoth Mescal: “Listen, if Shakespeare is performed right, you don’t have to understand what they’re saying. You feel it in the body, the language is written like that.” Continue reading...
