Welcome to Litsy!

Ah, yes, because knowing he's the arbiter of his eternal torment is definitely the way to get Prometheus to see Zeus in a more favourable light. 🫣

I got an amazing deal on ground pork this morning, so I went to the library to borrow my favourite cookbook and ended up grabbing a couple short story collections off their feature display plus a play by Tomson Highway. #MFMarch

One of Polly‘s IB literature book so quickly read whilst she was home for the weekend. It was fun and frivolous. I believe I saw the opera 20 years ago. All a bit silly and I now realise I probably should have read The Barber of Seville first.

Today's Monday Night Hockey is The Jets vs The Sharks. So now I have this stuck in my head: https://youtu.be/twbuT1V5mFE?si=OZWRSdfkL4zPu_v6

I saw part of the 1948 Olivier Hamlet last night, and it gave me the urge to reread this. It's been a few years, but it's one of my favorite Shakespearean plays. Nothing like a reread of an old favorite on a cold winter's night!

I think I need to clarify that I‘m a retired #longtimefed and not a current employee. I‘m writing these posts because I‘m angry and insulted that feds are being thrown so unceremoniously under the bus. Again. Sadly, this isn‘t new. It‘s just fed bashing on steroids…or ketamine.

Since Social Security is part of my pension BY LAW, I guess that makes me part of the “parasite class” now. I just want to sit under my own vine and fig tree.

This comedy, first performed in 1664, is a pleasure to read, especially Dorine's parts.
This play is very topical: a man, Tartuffe, an hypocritical devotee, manages to entirely manipulate another man, Orgon. Manipulation, credulity, blindness are common themes.
Highly recommend!

4 ⭐ The Corduroy books were in good hands with Viola Davis. You can tell a little difference between the original creator and Viola Davis, but she gets to the heart of this beloved character. Altogether the book works the illustrations are fantastic and it‘s all very nostalgic. The story is a little long for my taste, but it mixes in with the Corduroy of old.

Morning read! Le Tartuffe by Molière. My French book club meets tomorrow, and as the organizer, of course I need to take notes ;)
First time reading this play, but I've seen it played (ages ago).
