No, seriously. Tumblr can't seem to get enough of that Danish angst.

Hamlet, what would you make of this Tumblr sitch?
Here we are again and it's Tumblr day. Is it your favorite day? It is not mine, but I do like it plenty. Today, let's do only Hamlet ones, because everybody loves them some Hamlet.
No, seriously. Tumblr can't seem to get enough of that Danish angst.

Moar Tumblr
Good day to you all! I am back now (orly?) to share more tumblr posts with you. Perhaps you are thinking that rather than follow a blog that's so spotty on updates, you'd rather just go to tumblr and subscribe to such things as these yourself. Well FINE! I have no right to be butt hurt about that, but I cannot promise I won't be.
This is a bit dark. Maybe I shouldn't have lead it with. NO! NO LOOKING BACK! So anyway, in case it was unclear, or you're unfamiliar with Hamlet (and yet still here?! I love you madly for that.), Horatio is the only person left alive at the end of this play.
These are both references to the same Inappropriate Audition Songs meme of people using songs that hit a little too close to home while auditioning for a certain part in a play.
Re-appropriation of the same quote from The Office
TRUTH.
I am just saying this list is legit.
Hugs and kisses, erebody!

Shakespeare and Tumblr Part 3
Hey-ho!
Today is a tumblr day again - do you love these? I love these. If you do, or don't, share your thoughts in the comments! I plan to keep doing them, because I love sharing the relevancy of Shakespeare's plays. There is something so enlightening about connecting with people and stories from over 400 years ago.
So let'd just do it! I will provide explanations where I fear there may be a disconnect. If I am mistaken and there is no disconnect and you are way smarter than that, then my B, yo.

I hope you enjoyed thoses! My favorite is by far the first one about Ophelia - "Does she have a boyfriend?" "Not a good one." Ah, I laughed pretty hard at that.
Anyway, until next week, friends!

Shakespeare and Pop Culture
Okay so,
I am a day late (!!!!), which is not really like me. But in my defense, I audibly gasped and nearly dropped my plate of dinner last night when I realized I hadn't actually posted this yet. Thank GOODNESS there was no one there to rush over and say, "OH MY HEAVENS, WHAT'S WRONG?!" Because "I forgot to post in my Shakespeare blog today" would have been met with... sarcasm. Yeah, let's go with sarcasm.
So my profoundest of apologies, dearest readers, as I know you await these posts with avid anticipation.
Let's continue, shall we?
This is another tumblr post, where I share gems of funny Shakespeare conversations I've found on tumblr. I get so excited when I see Shakespeare referenced in pop culture today, especially with regard to new memes or sayings that are popular.
And as a pretext, I want to say that I know that humor is much like a frog: you can dissect it, but it will die in the process. With that in mind, I don't want to belabor where these references come from, but I do want to provide some context for two hella important reasons:
1. Maybe not everyone spends as much time on the internet as me and doesn't get them.
2. In 3 years, there's a strong chance that I won't even remember what these jokes were referrencing.
3. In scholarly work (such as this blog), it's important to provide context and clarity.
4. For your very own pop culture edification?
That looks like four reasons. Turns out I can't count.
Anyway, if you get them, cool. Ignore the little explanation link. If not, then you're welcome maybe?
Okay, I'm going to stop pre-apologizing/excusing what I do on this blog and just get on with it.
Yeah.

From Pitbull and Ke$ha's song, "It's going down"
"You had one job" meme.
TV show "30 Rock" episode and ongoing joke.
"Bitch I might be" meme.
Hope you enjoyed! I just love it when the youths talk about Shakespeare!

Shake & Tumble
Greeting, travelers!
No time for a real post today... but I hope some of these gems from tumblr will make up for it. I swear, tumblr is the weirdest, bestest place.
