I had this quote stuck in my head, and even asked my illustrious father with no success as to its origin. Yet another reason I love the word wide net. My memory of the quote was "...and damned be he who first cries, 'Enough!'" I had thought it was from some big old shakespearean party with heavy drinkers promising to keep it goin' on til the break o'dawn. But no. I was only a little bit off with the quote: "Lay on, McDuff, and damned be him who first cries 'Hold, Enough!'" Any of you three who have actually read MacBeth probably recognize this as his challenge to McDuff before their fight to the death. I haven't read it, so I'm hoping I didn't pick it up from the Simpsons or something. So I was pretty far off on the meaning, but I think I kinda like it better now. It'll lend a bit more weight to my drinking anyway.
While I was searching the interweb for that terrific quote I got a fun reminder of how obnoxious and stupid English students are. I suppose it's not easy to come up with original and interesting topics on MacBeth after all these hundreds of years, but please...
In other news, my cousin had her baby a little over a week ago. The new little girl is Gwyneth Hope Harrison, but I call her Tiger. I went to see her for the first time yesterday, and she's certainly beautiful, but some of her facial expressions are startingly similar to her uncle (my cousin) John Convertino (I'm trying to find a link to his old band, Jo Mama and the Soul Train, but it may now be defunct. His new band is The Doodars, but they don't seem to have a website.) Anyway, he's got this smirk that just looks like trouble, and she's got the same one (although at this point, it's just gas.)
It's almost lunch time. Get me out of here.
