Great Performances on PBS is doing Tosca, my favorite opera. The acting of Tosca and Mario aren't the highest, but Scarpia is deliciously evil.
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I was annoyed and calling myself names for mis-filing my package of fruit cups in coconut water in the freezer when I unpacked the groceries. Oh poo, now I either have to wait for it to thaw, or peel the cup off and gnaw on it.
Or! I could leave it on the counter for forty minutes while I make supper, and have a delicious just-thawed-enough-to-eat-with a-spoon tasty sorbet-like treat!
I'm a genius!
Also, Netflix tells me there are new eps of QE. Noice!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I don't fully understand all that, Sophia, but devember is now my favorite month. I also agree with Jesse and NoiseDesign.
Today was the last day of load-in for our next show and the associate designer sent an email last night detailing some 24 adds. We got it all done (because my crew is awesome) but this design team is not building up a lot of good will going into tech.

I lack knowledge of the bureaucracy involved, but I am going to say, what meara said! There should be some way around the constraints.

Dear cats,
As you have now demonstrated your complete rejection of human food by choosing to play with pieces of top quality BBQ that I gave you from my own lunch today rather than eat them, no more table scraps will be forthcoming.
Signed,

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It is a perfect day here, so after going to the dentist, I went for a nice walk, Goodwill and the liquor store on the way home, and now I'm in my hammock with a beer. Aaahhhh.

Thrive to spite them
It's my birthday and I feel icky. I ended up leaving work early but not before they offered me the full time position! I've been working full time hours so I'm really happy.

That's great, askye! Nice birthday present. I hope you are feeling good enough to enjoy the rest of your day.

I went for a run in the woods, and then to dog class, and now I have a pie in the oven. Actually, 3: one large and two mini peach-blueberry pies. I hate to waste extra crust and filling...
