If you ever invent something that can make just some of my dreams come true -- those involving flying, for instance -- while skipping over the ones where I haven't done the required reading for a geography exam or I'm being chased by The Wiggles, feel free to write me again.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<br \/>\nMatthew<\/tt><\/p>\n<p><u>Links<\/u><\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/sapporo.cool.ne.jp\/f1ash\/flash\/bowman.swf'>Do not start playing Bowman because then you will not stop playing Bowman<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href='http:\/\/www.editplus.com\/'>shareware text editor<\/a> is pretty great.<\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/www.dashes.com\/anil\/2004\/06\/04\/nigritude_ultra'>Nigritude Ultramarine<\/A>.<\/p>\n<p><u>Hoisted By His Own Petard<\/u><\/p>\n<p>In <a href=' http:\/\/www.worldnetdaily.com\/news\/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=38776'>a recent interview<\/a>, Ray Bradbury, author of <em>Fahrenheit 451<\/em>, ripped filmmaker Michael Moore for his appropriation of the science-fiction novel&#8217;s title.  &#8220;Michael Moore is a screwed asshole, that is what I think about that case,&#8221; said the 84-year-old writer.  &#8220;He is a horrible human being &#8212; horrible human!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In other news, the latest issue of <em>Rolling Stone<\/em> features an interview with William Shakespeare, in which the Bard of Avon decries Bradbury&#8217;s use of the phrase &#8220;something wicked this way comes.&#8221;  &#8220;That mewling cutpurse plucked the title from the pages of my <em>MacBeth<\/em> direct,&#8221; carped the long dead poet and playwright, who later went on to describe Bradbury as &#8220;sick in the world&#8217;s regard, wretched and low, a poor unminded outlaw sneaking home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><u>Speaking Of Which &#8230;<\/u><\/p>\n<p>I assumed that someone had already made a porn movie entitled &#8220;Something Wicked This Way Comes,&#8221; but I can&#8217;t seem to find it via Google.  Man, there&#8217;s a vast untapped market right there:  adult films based on the works of William Shakespeare.  The Taming Of The Screw.  A Midsummer&#8217;s Night Ream.  The Merchant of Penis.  The Two Gentlemen of Veronica.  And I think we can all agree that Henry VIII could only be improved by the addition of girl-on-girl action.<\/p>\n<p><b>Update<\/b>:  In the comments, <a href='http:\/\/www.stellarpurpledaisy.blogspot.com'>Marcy<\/a> says:  &#8220;I took a class &#8230; called Shakespeare, Transnational Cinema, and Mass Media.
