the crazies are slowly starting to sound more credible to my tired ears.
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
um, i'm not sure what you were trying to link... but that website for the crazies doesn't have any sound. it's this:

ReplyDeleteit's not supposed to have sound. i was speaking in general of the people who believe the world will end in 2012. there are books and (obviously) websites devoted to the idea. and while i arrogantly dismiss anything so fanatic, so uninformed, i am beginning to wonder if it will be academics, in the end, who are proved fools. that's what i meant by people sounding credible. it's not like a band or something. :)
Ooooooooh!! I thought they were a band or something! ROFL!!!!!
