  James Joyce

  Exiles is a play by James Joyce, who is principally remembered for his novels. It was rejected by W. B. Yeats for production by the Abbey Theatre. Its first major London performance was in 1970, when Harold Pinter directed it at the Mermaid Theatre. The basic premise of Exiles involves a love triangle between Richard Rowan (a Dublin writer recently returned from exile in Rome), Bertha (his common law wife) and his old friend Robert Hand (a journalist). (There are obvious parallels to be drawn with Joyce's own life – Joyce and Nora Barnacle lived, unmarried, in Trieste, during the years the fictional Rowans were living in Rome, while Robert Hand is roughly the same age of Joyce's friends Oliver St. John Gogarty and Vincent Cosgrave, and shares some characteristics with them both.) This arrangement is slightly complicated by a second love triangle, involving Rowan, Hand, and Hand's cousin Beatrice Justice. - Summary by WikipediaRichard Rowan: mbBertha: Elizabeth KlettArchie: Beth ThomasRobert Hand: Bruce PirieBeatrice Justice: AvailleBrigid: Bev J.

  Celebrating the persistence of Turtle Power Raise Some Shell critically and cleverly examines the origins, evolution, and impact of the Ninja Turtles phenomenon ― from its beginning as a self-published black-and-white comic book in 1984, through its transformation into a worldwide transmedia phenomenon by the middle of the 1990s, and up to the sale of the property to Nickelodeon in 2009 and relaunch of the Turtles with new comics, cartoons, and a big-budget Hollywood film. With the eye of contemporary cultural studies and the voice of a true lifelong Turtles fan, Rosenbaum argues that the Turtles’ continuing success isn’t mere nostalgia, but rather the result of characters, and a franchise, that mutated in a way that allowed the to survive and thrive in a post-modern world.

  My cheapskate girlfriend got us a "discount" couple's massage and we had to go to this weird man and woman's house who looked like the two bad guys from Home Alone. 
  The short guy did my massage. He had like 58 times more oil than was necessary on his hands and they were like grotesquely soft. So, when he did your massage it just felt like someone was squishing mashed potatoes and gravy all over you. 
  It was freakin' disgusting. And he kept cracking his disgusting knuckles on me the whole time... as if it was adding some sensual element to the experience. But it just felt like some school lunch pizza wrapped around a bunch of carrots breaking. 
  It was sickening. 
  But I didn't want to disappoint my girlfriend. So, I just laid their face down in that slop. 
  Oh, and of course they were playing some weird silence of the lambs music. 
  So, I was just lying there listening to that, trying not to inhale their incense... that smelled like a bunch of amputated civil war feet on fire. 
  Oh yeah. They made us sign this waiver that we understood it wasn't an "erogenous" experience. So, my girlfriend just signed it and drew a sad frowny face. 
  :( 
  Shucks. We were hoping Harry and Marv would be down for some role play. I could play that old guy at the end of the movie who smashes'm in the face with a snow shovel. 
  Oh, sht, I'm supposed to be telling you about this book. Uhhhh... okay. Arlight. So. This is the official Hatchet Wielding Hitchhikers Guide to Humanity. And once we understand where our species came from, then we can finally also solve the human condition. We can become smarter, faster, stronger, healthier, more youthful, more vibrant, longer living, emotionally blissful, psychologically harmonized, romantically successful, and so much more. But you'll never know unless you read the book... So, you better! 
  ... or else. 
  Or else I'll tell Harry and Marv where to find you.
