I win!
It's come to my attention that i don't write often enough. I keep meaning to but then shiny things distract me...erm, I mean that important things become necessary, yes....
Last night was quite interesting. I went to the Opera with a co-worker who'd gotten some free tickets through the bank. It was The Raping of Lucretia, which in itself sounded an odd thing for an opera to be about. I enjoyed myself well enough. There were these two "observers" who sang and narrated things which I found to detract hugely from the story. Although it was nowhere near as bad as the 15 minute song about how women should be good and wash linens. I don't have the greatest attention span so I was bored of that one at 5 minutes. The acting was quite good and the costumes were quite nice. The singing was, well, similar I suppose. None of the males had anything definitive about their voices at all. And three of the four girls were the same as well. It was like they'd all had exactly the same training and the same idea of what sounded good. They were good singers though, but still it sounded...like I was hearing the same two people sing over and over. There was one exception, a pretty korean woman (my coworker thought she was chinese...sometimes I wonder how noone else can tell these things). She had such a lovely voice and carried herself so gracefully. She totally outshone the lead in my opinion.
Ooh it was sunny today finally. I had a nice long walk after work today. I noticed that everyone seems so much happier today with actual sun outside. Makes you think winter might actually end one of these days. I'm definitely a summer person.
Must go continue making food...
