Really, I always thought of it as Shakespearean. I wonder now, maybe it's just one horrible soap opera. |
Depends on which opera- I like French and Italian stuff and some Austrian, but Wagner irritates me to no end. My vocal coach in college was a Wagnerian soprano and I got all the Wagner I could take and then some.
All operas are basically the same. Someone falls in love and someone dies. There are a few exceptions but that's most of 'em. |
I like Steinbeck novels, so I think I'll like them.

Make sure to yell bravissimo any time there's a pause in the show.
|
and you only yell "bravo" at guys. You yell "brava" to girls. That or "show us your tits".
|
I suppose I'd have to dress nice too. :(
|
depends. Some opera crowds find it droll to dress down. Lots of opera-in-the-park is like that. The Arena in Verona is like that. But if you're going to a major city in a big specifically-for-opera space, yeah, you'd probably have to dress up. People dress to be seen at productions like that.
|
At most operas I've been to, they show subtitles from a screen hanging over the stage.
|
I'm sure it's much more beautiful if you understand the language. Besides, I'd hate to have to take my eyes away to read words.

SLEEP PROBLEM UPDATE:
Benadryl fixed my wagon on monday; I fell asleep before 11 PM trying to stay awake for Colbert. Shit's unheard of. I missed him, but it was worth it. THE PROBLEM is that I had to take ten of the fuckers to get the sleep-aid effect, and there are something like only 40 pills in each box. It was kid's benadryl, and I assumed that meant just chewable tablets, but they might also have just been weaker. I dunno. I also went back to not sleeping last night so I guess this is going to be an everyday thing. Here's hoping it doesn't get expensive! |
dat stomach lining
i have a new ritual that started when i got my casein protein - casein metabolizes slowly, so you're supposed to take it before bed. So, i warm up a half cup of milk and then mix the powder in. Unlike my whey protein shakes, the casein is DELICIOUS and tastes like gooey melted brownies. Then I turn on the heater and get under 3 thin layers. It still takes me forever to get to sleep, but I think it's a slight improvement. |
Pfft, you can live without a stomach.
Plus I don't think it actually causes ulcers or whatever, since a lot of people use it as a sleep aid / horrifying psychoactive drug without problems VINNIE TODD BUTTAFUOCO swears by it when his Ambien tolerance gets too high. This is actually a bigger problem than I'm making it out to be, so I should probably get a prescription. |
man i'm high and captain beefheart just read me your post three times now.
|
Goddamnit, Rankeri, that was funny. |
Every mode of public transportation should be more like ferries
Arcades, gift shops, cafeterias, smoking decks, all that great shit |
Like planes or buses. There's space for all that shit.
|
There could be. There could be.
|
The most I see on a bus is a vending machine.
|
One that serves cigarettes. :lol
|
My busses just have crazy people who chat me up about irrelevant shit until I get so uncomfortable that I pretend it's my stop and get off to get away from them. :(

There's this one guy that has really, really bad balance. I don't know if he has ear problems or something, but the bus always seems to take off before he has a chance to sit down and he goes flying around the place. He's always got too much baggage, too. And facial tics. |
that's what mp3 players/headphones are for. i take my ipod everywhere, even when i forget to charge it i still pretend i'm listening to something:( works awesomely
