I loved this blurb flow chart. It reminds me of the paint swatches at WAL-MART, which are probably the most perfect thing in the store. Which makes me want to destroy them. Or rearrange their perfect order. This is a Luciferian impulse. Did Lucifer really want to destroy? Or did he want to merely re-arrange. En tout cas, it's clear that re-arrangement is a damnable offense. A primordial offense. Perhaps the Ur-Offense. What is literary criticism but an attempt to rearrange artistic works in an imaginary space. It's hilarious. The books stay right where they are put. But if the re-arranger is particularly successful he might have certain books banned or sent to book gulags (thrift stores or worse). In which case, the books find it hard to reproduce. And then they may go extinct. So, overall, I think God is right. He should destroy Satan for being the Great Interior Decorator that he so clearly is. Satan is all about fussiness. There is no sin that does not first begin in fussiness.

Love the shirt!

That's a wand? Quite wonderful!

A Riverside Shakespeare? Are you near the Charles River?

"Sweet Swan of Avon: did a woman write Shakespeare?"  -- oh, very sweet, indeed! Bravo!

Thank you!  The purple shirt reflects the hefty responsibility that comes with owning one’s exalted heritage.  When one's ancestors are of royal and/or magical origin, some rather profound questions and challenges suggest themselves.  To what crown(ing glory) is one the natural successor?  To what dignities?  What traditions are one's responsibility to keep alive?  What untapped powers?  If one's Weltanschauung does not account for an Otherworld, how can one reconcile one's nymph-glands?  ;-)

The Riverside Shakespeare was my favorite text from graduate school.  (It's the book I referenced while composing this rarefied research.)  I'm not near the Charles River, though I understand it's quite lovely.
