Want to Change Your Twitter Handle? You’re Out of Luck!

Sami — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 16:28:14 +0000

Actually, you’re absolutely not! Few years ago many knew me at @Tokyofan (seems like it belongs to “pete” now). After hours of self-deliberation I decided that I should change my handle to something that represents me more. I’m still Tokyofan and will always be one but it was just a part of my personality. I [...]

However, I think it’s time I write something more detailed than below or my previous post: #ShakespeareSaturday is [...]

For the past five years I have had the pleasure of attending, almost, all of the Shakespearean works productions at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. It’s always a nice treat for me to be there. The Chicago Shakespeare Theater breaths life into the words I’ve read for so long. For a lack of a better word, [...]
