Steph has a tattoo of two ravens and a skull, in memory of two friends who committed suicide, and prawda, the Polish word for truth. The fluorescent light over the seat was buzzing and I thought it was the air conditioning and it was going to start dripping.
A woman was wearing a shirt that says Go Long Kid. Stay True. Which is a pop punk band from Weymouth.
A woman with a long braid and a blue t-shirt was reading a book about water elemental aliens.
A man had a tattoo of some kind of dagger on one arm, a coiled serpent on the other, and a shirt with a flamingo motif.
A woman has green hair and plays the ukulele and has a twelve year old dog named Valentine. In Boston Common, there was a man playing Cape Verdean music on the accordion, a man playing a guitar, a man playing a cello, and a man playing an erhu.
I met another pug and a dog named Hades and a dog named Piper who really wanted the pizza her owners were eating.
Cordelia has blue hair and is glad her parents picked that name and not some other name from Shakespeare.
Sam, Jessica, and someone else Jazzercized a plot summary.
Emily and friends were eating a pizza that was half cheese and half pepperoni and banana peppers, which Emily called spicy because she works with kids.
A woman has a tattoo of a circular labyrinth and an androgynous figure pierced with arrows tattooed on her arm. She wore a jade pendant and a necklace of purple and clear plastic beads.
Sarah thought my art style reminded her of Picasso’s.
Four people, a guy with a ladle he obtained from a Chinese restaurant, a woman with black hair dressed in white, a woman with blonde hair with a heart-key necklace dressed in black, reached Andrew before realizing they were supposed to go to Alewife. That’s understandable. I’m not sure how much of a hurry they were in or if one can get to the other side of Andrew without leaving the station and paying the fare again.

It was Free Fun Friday so we got a swordfighting demonstration, and I got a free cup of lemonade sorbet, where I overheard a conversation about how anyone asks, you're Jerry, and a free Cymbeline pin.
For dinner, Bon Me had two Cymbeline-themed specials. I had The Queen, which was brown rice topped with gochujang chicken, pickled carrots and daikon, cilantro, mesclun, peanuts, scallions, and crispy shallots, spicy peanut sauce and soy drizzle.
The songs were sung to violin, guitar, and accordion, composed by one Milly Massey. The stage looked like Tim Burton built a mining town and was lit with a color motif: red for the Romans, blue for the Britons, and green for the Welsh. The Britons wore Edwardian clothing and their soldiers were dressed like World War I doughboys. There was a scene in which Cloten wore an old-timey bathing suit. The Romans mostly dressed like legionnaires except for the soothsayer Philharmonius, who wore sunglasses. The Welsh were dressed wildly. The Great God Jupiter had great black wings. It reminded me of the Gormenghast tv series. This performance had a screen with subtitles in red off to the side which all performances should have, so you know which character is talking.
I’m pretty sure I already summarized Cymbeline when I last saw it, which leads into my burning question, but if I didn’t, sue me. And then sue me for this: smoke bomb!

burning question: what are the odds that I’d see Cymbeline twice before Winter’s Tale? Or Comedy of Errors? Or All’s Well That Ends Well?
