I have changed the layout of the site a little bit mainly because I was sick of those actors on the header insulting me all the time. Seriously. I'm the only one who comes on here, so it's effectively all aimed at me. I couldn't deal with it, and now the site is a little different, just a nav set and a link image on the side leading to the homepage. The bunny is actually Young Hare, a 1502 piece by the seminal artist of the Northern Renaissance, Albrecht Dürer. So it's cute and relevant. For some reason I half expected this (admittedly minor) change to herald in a new period of traffic for the site, especially from our growing international contingent. This has not been the case so far, but I still have some hope. Anyway, this is just an update to explain things in case you were sad that the obstinate players which hurled Shakespearean insults at you had just upped and left. Now we have a bunny. I am still wanting to commit a major change to the site, to introduce comments and RSS, but for now I think this is cleaner. Turrah.

"The circle of human knowledge, illuminated by the pale, cold light of reason, is so infinitesimally small, the dark regions of human ignorance which lie beyond that luminous ring so immeasurably vast, that imagination is feign to step up to the borderline and send the warm, richly colored beams of her fairy lantern streaming out into the darkness ; and so, peering into the gloom, she is apt to mistake the shadowy reflections of her own figure for real beings moving in the abyss.

I'm a 23 year-old student in London Cambridge London, studying English Literature Law. It's hard to really think of anything truly personal I can put here that might give you some idea of who I am, so I will just tell you that my favourite Shakespeare play is Richard II, my favourite chocolate bar is Snickers, and I have a bit of a thing for instant coffee, especially if someone else makes it for me.

I'm interested in Renaissance Literature, Higher Education policy, and libraries.
I'm completely in love with a Scottish girl.
