    I wish I had focused a bit more on Shakespeare. I actually ended up focusing more on 20th century American lit. No regrets except that I wish I had had more time for some additional Shakespeare...

    Ah sorry, yes! Bards are kind of jack-of-all-trades characters in D&D and are one of my favorite classes to play.

    I've been meaning to listen to this for a while and I finally got around to it. I'm not disappointed, this is a very good album. The jazzy instrumentation was a surprise, but definitely a pleasant one.

    God's Favorite Customer - Father John Misty
    This just came out today, and I have been listening to it almost non-stop. I liked Pure Comedy, but it wasn't quite up to the level of I Love You Honeybear imo. God's Favorite Customer is, and may in fact top I Love You Honeybear.

    I think part of the reason On Avery Island is less popular is because it lacks the thematic tightness that In the Aeroplane Over the Sea has. I would also venture to say that On Avery Island is generally speaking a bit less accessible since it has a rougher, more lo-fi sound and is just noiser in general. That being said, I do love On Avery Island. I just love In the Aeroplane Over the Sea more.
