Introductions

Greetings blogosphere, my name is Marcus and I have come to invade just a teensy, tiny piece of the interwebs just like so many other bloggers have done. I created this place back in 2008, so I thought it was about bloody time I made an entry here. In this maiden post, I will explain two things: where I came up with the title for this blog, and what will be (hopefully) occuring here.

1. Who is Peter Quince and confessions of a whosit whatsits?

My life has so far been dominated by two passions: theater (both the attending of and acting in (that's the thespian part)) and literature (bibliophile). There's actually a third passion of mine and that's being a major fan of the New York Yankees, but that's a minor passion compared to the other two. Lately, I haven't been a performer in any theatrical productions, I've been more a spectactor. As for the reading, I have probably read close to 500 books in my young lifetime, 91 in the previous year alone.

As for the Peter Quince moniker: one of the last major productions I was in was William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, where I played, you guessed it, Peter Quince, almost twelve years ago. I'll most probably dedicate a fuller article about my remembrances of that show in the near future.

2. What's going to be here?

Pretty much anything I can think of at the time: books I've read, movies I've seen (both in the theaters and DVDs), TV shows (currently showing or the TV shows I have on DVD, and I have a good deal of those), venting/extolling about the Giants and the Yankees, the list goes on and on. I realize this is not an original concept. There are millions upon millions of blogs out there. I'm not trying to be original, I'm just doing this for fun. I can't promise you that I'll post an entry a day. I also might post more than one a day. I'll try to keep my language as PG-13 as possible (note earlier my use of bloody instead of using some less colorful word). More importantly, when talking about books, TV, etc. I WILL MOST LIKELY BE USING SPOILERS. I will try to warn beforehand, but until then, consider this your preliminary warning.

Now that I've covered all the preliminaries, let's try to have some fun here
