#ThreeListThursday
This made me remember all the popular disaster movies of the 70‘s. Favorites on the list:
Fiddler on the Roof
Raiders of the Lost Arc
Witness
Mary Poppins
See @dabbe ‘s original post to play along!
This play was so popular when I was in forensics in high school. It was THE choice for Dramatic Duets. I've also seen it performed in full several times. But never with any of the pictured stars. I would have loved to see Alan Alda and Candice Bergen.

pickIt is done! Or at least as done as it's going to be from me. I picked up this collection for Euripedes' Medea, was happy to get Sophocles' Antigone in the bargain, and a bonus second Medea by Seneca. Euripides' Bakkhai is a wild time, The Oresteia is pretty familiar ground given the link up to Illiad characters. I wish there was more of Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound, but what there is extant of it is good. 1/?
"Caesar: 'The Ides of March are come.'
"Soothsayer: 'Ay, Caesar; but not gone.'"

The one and only political post I have ever made or ever will make. (probably, but who knows?)

Allusion #2: POUND OF FLESH
I still can't believe that THE MERCHANT OF VENICE is on our district's 7th grade reading list alongside A MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT'S DREAM. If you had your choice, which play would you rather read as a 12-13-year old?
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
