Kathryn, do NOT be jealous of me going to the opera. It was weird. They were wearing these bulky animal costumes and clonking boots which might have been okay except that their footsteps drowned out the sound of the orchestra (Oh look! A band!). The plot was supposed to be about the circle of life or something deep, but it really seemed to be more about animals getting it on. It was an opera, though, so plot really shouldn't matter as long as the music is good. It wasn't. I mean, it wasn't BAD - but most of the singing was monotonous, the orchestration was unremarkable, and I hope to heaven no one from the production reads this. It would be so disheartening! They were all skillful - I just wasn't interested in the piece itself. But then, I have only ever seen very classical sorts of pieces. The Marriage of Figaro. Samson and Delilah. And I was listening to Puccini before leaving the house! What do you do? But then again, I was distracted by my seating companion. Five so

I read this and had to remind myself to breathe. You are meant to write and think and teach brilliant people (if there are any left.) Are you a mystic? Are you really mine? Actually, you never were. You have always belonged to another place and time. I think you have always had higher thoughts because you dwell in a space above us where you see differently. I sense you floating up there, yet somehow attached to the couch. Thanks for stretching my thinking. Brilliant. (barnes and noble really has no idea who is shelving books in their children's department...)
ReplyDeleteI want to know who the anonymous person is (above).
ReplyDeleteReveal thyself! And perhaps I will return the favor.

ReplyDeleteer... unless you're not kathryn. emily?
ReplyDeleteDude, I saw this the day after you said to. And its stupendous. :)
ReplyDeleteI stuck around after to see the credits and the Unit Production Manager was Jennifer Wynne, who I think I know as Jennifer Wynne-Farmer, the director/script supervisor chick I met at SFI. Awesome! I e-mailed her about it but I haven't heard back yet. :(
If you could work with her on similar projects in the future, I would eat up your life like a cheesecake.
