I don't often use this as a forum to discuss my personal life, but some things are too good not to share.

Clint and I are forming a Shakespearean metal band. We're calling it Macdeth.

It's the perfect job for someone with an MA in English during this turbulent financial crisis. In a credit crunch people may be buying fewer luxury items, but who could resist a debut album entitled "A Plague on Both Your Houses"? And, as a cross-over band, we've tapped into two mutually exclusive markets: teenage metal-heads and lovers of Elizabethan theater.

Maybe we can use the SongSmith if we get writer's block?
