Things to Click On

Rather than short stories, you are about to get seven fascinating links:

--- 1 ---

I take too many BuzzFeed quizzes, but this one is necessary: which play does the Shakespeare quote come from?

--- 2 ---

Spoken word poetry is one of my favorite things.  Also, Sarah Kay here is speaking to her daughter who does not yet exist -- and I want to give the same things to my daughter who does not yet exist.

--- 3 ---

LB is filling my need for an academic life by sending me scholarly articles.  Like this one about nuns fasting on the move.

--- 4 ---

Have I mentioned yet that I want to be a Dominican friar?  Leaving aside the numerous problems this would create for the Captain, mull over that while reading their series on Jane Austen and the virtues.

--- 5 ---

Google is holding a contest where you can vote for a doodle submitted by a child.  Not only is this a joyful perusal, but it also presents an interesting value/morals study.

--- 6 ---

Maybe only because I am the wife of an attorney did I find this video reenacting a deposition transcript hilarious.  On the other hand, maybe I fell for an attorney, because this is what I find hilarious.

--- 7 ---

And then we move to Hollywood.  And nerd out there because apparently LED lights change things in film -- perhaps for the same reason bugs can’t see them.



In other news, I will have some low-tech sitting and waiting time this weekend that will either result in some interesting posts written long-hand first… or a whole lot of novel reading.
