cesario is doing fabulously snarky commentary on Shakespeare, currently Hamlet.
BERNARDO
Say,
What, is Horatio there?

HORATIO
A piece of him.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, HORATIO? No, seriously, what. Why are you just a piece of yourself? Where are the other pieces? Were you torn apart by Fortinbras's army of Norwegian zombies? Or is it 'cause you haven't seen Hamlet since the last time your Melancholy Brooding 401 class met in Wittenberg? For the record, I should add that while I am trying to interact with the text only in these readings, my appraisal of Horatio was permanently bent at an impressionable age by Nicholas Farrell, who, if you've seen practically any relatively modern Shakespeare film adaptation, will be familiar to you as the tall mournful fellow with the mustache who always plays The Quite Clearly Subtextually Gay character.


John Barrowman meets someone who's a bigger 2-year-old-in-an-adult-suit than he is. Still a bit pissed off that the knee-jerk reaction to a female Doctor is complete horror, though. Otherwise, friggin' hilarious!

For the Bento people: Make your own instant vegetable soup concentrate

Anther bento one: assorted ideas for filling a lunchbox. Stuffed Pasta Shells: Get those extra-large jumbo shells, cook them and pack the insides with egg salad, chicken salad or something like that. Eat 'em like dumplings.

Speaking of Bento, I discovered that Target now has Fit and Fresh chillers. I swear, I was shopping for something else. However, the traditional bento boxes, while beautiful, are falling further and further out of my favor because you cannot pack them with anything juicy and because if you want grapes or something, you have to stand them on end and line them up or there isn't room for more than about 4.

Fit and Fresh: I just realized that I bought mine last July and I haven't used it yet. Oops. I kinda got stuck using the other two boxes I had and this year I've bought a new one that I've been using pretty exclusively. I'll have to find a photo of it to post.

I still haven't found that "Homez" sandwich thing, and it intrigues me. On the other hand, I'm still quite happy with my Aladdin salad containers.

I've seen something similar (Klip-It Lunch Cube) at the Container Store that looks a bit less flimsy than the one I bought. Note: it works better for finger foods than for something with a fork, as the inner lid gets in the way when you're eating from the bottom compartment.

LOVE the sound of the veggie soup mix. Must try that. Suspect one could also put potato in it, which would thicken it up a bit.

I adore JB on Al Murray - two 12-year-olds on national TV. Too scary! Not to mention the utter joy in just watching John laugh.

The Pub Landlord is everything sexist and racist that can be found in Little England all rolled into one obnoxious ball. I think Al Murray actually is a massive Doctor Who fan which is why he keeps getting John on his show. I think Freema was on it this series too.

I do wonder why some of those people end up on the show - Donny Osmond? Had he a clue what he was getting into? That guy makes Graham Norton look like polished class and sophistication.

But... John can make me laugh in even the worst circumstances.

They probably have an inkling of what's going on. Britain's had a lot of charater-based comedy chat shows over the years (Mrs Merton, the Kumars at no. 42, Ali G etc)
