In case anyone in the blog world hasn't heard, I'm moving to Ventura County this next week to work in Santa Barbara and live with my sister. That's all I have to say about that.
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
want help?
ReplyDeleteor at least 1 last portfolio?
That's ALL you have to say? How is that possible?
ReplyDeleteWhat about how FUN it's going to be? And how your friends are all invited to come up and hang out when you're not working! And how we're gonna have a BBQ or party or something to celebrate your arrival and invite everyone you know!!! And I have stocked up on the cider already!
There is so much to say!
(BTW, in case anyone in the blog world doesn't know, I am that sister. Woot.)
