Enemy of the People: an open forum Florian Borchmeyer’s modern adaptation of the Ibsen play An Enemy of the People (translated by Maria Milisavljevic) attempts to instill the 1882 play with new immediacy and contemporary commentary. We’re destroying the earth! Bureaucracy will kill us all! Everyone is corrupt! Resistance is futile! It all works fairly […]
So literally everyone’s been telling me to watch Bob’s Burgers. I’ve heard how smart and funny it is. So I finally decided to give it a try. And I honestly really liked it. Though I want to give myself some time to really get into and see what it’s all about, I thought it was […]
It appears that going back home for a funeral is still the best way to find love and experience a journey of self-discovery.
