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

Do you ever wonder what the "it" thing would be if Stephenie Meyer didn't exist?
ReplyDeletehm... I have no idea. One of the other teen vampire series? I'm all for hyping up the Hunger Games series. It's got all the romance and more of the adventure of Twilight without any of the stupidity or mediocre writing (or vampires). It's popular now. I'd like to see it become a craze. Who's with me?!!
ReplyDeleteJust put the Meyer books on the shelf and fill a table with them. If people see LOTS of something, they automatically associate it with being popular or important. Take over the center tables! DO it! Do it!
ReplyDeleteThere's no room on the shelves for all our Stephenie Meyer. She takes up the table of necessity.
