You know how when you buy a new car you suddenly see that make and model everywhere you go? So I've been reading this book... and first I come across an article between two of my favorite theologians debating it (one being the author), and next I know, Colbert is interviewing him on the Report. No frickin' way.
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
That was AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteI'm gunna have ta read that ther book naw.
Sorry for the Midwesterneese, I really have to get out of here...
Since when are you a Colbert watcher? It is funny how often his name has been coming up in conversations... my new pastor likes him too.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Colbert! I started watching him.... oh, years ago. Not very regularly. Mostly just clips on youtube. He's one of the few comedians I'd gladly be offended by.
