JFC, is Mahler always this long and tedious? Please send help. This concert will never end.
'A Hole in the World'
Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
This outdoor concert, I should note. I'm not totally without couth, posting from a theater.
Yes, Mahler is often long. First year I sang in the chorus here, the women sang for about five minutes in the fifth movement of a Mahler symphony, and then the maestro made us stand through the whole sixth movement, which was about half an hour.
My own personal entry in "shit that people say kind of jokingly on FB but pisses me off nonetheless" is when people talk about Texas seceding. Or Mississippi. Or any of the South, as if it's one ignorant, monolithic, hillbilly block.
Yeah.
This piece started over an hour ago.
Oh thank god. The power of posting works again. It won't solve all the other things I'm pissy about, but I'll take it.
Or any of the South, as if it's one ignorant, monolithic, hillbilly block.
Yup.
Y'all. If you need a little heartwarming, may I recommend the HBO doc Suited? It's about tailors who make suits for trans and genderqueer people, and it was just lovely.
Troubling Tribble finally came home. And was very hungry. Dumbass.
That sounds great, Jesse.
I should do something useful. But I had unexpected dental work done today, and as a result I've spent most of the day lazing around. Got my first milkshake in about 3 years (not really worth it), and then got takeout wonton soup and lo mein, because my teeth are still sore.
I'm an aunt again! My SIL had a little boy around 4AM. 8 lbs, which is big, and she is small, so I'm sure she's glad he's out. I'm not loving the name they picked, but hey, it's their kid. We'll get used to it.
I have a new laptop! My old one has started developing overheating issues, and I figured I'd buy one before I had to spend a day without home Internet--the horror!
But now I'm rebuilding programs and toolbars and going "Fuck! I don't remember the password for Buffistas! Let's see if it's this! Oh, thank god."
