Thank you, Toddson. My mom loved Anna Russell and I haven't heard her Ring Cycle in years. So great to hear it again.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I love her too ... I always think opera plots are like a Christmas tree - if it's thin in one spot, throw a lot of glittery music over there. The Ring Cycle ... when she explains it you see just how weird it is.

I think she had a take on Gilbert and Sullivan as well. I need to find it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Did not watch the debate and am not planning to watch any further debates. I like my blood pressure the way it is.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Jim, Ken and I have been YouTube Party-watching Alton Brown's Quarantine Quitchen; Alton and his wife Elizabeth were going to do a debate watch-and-post, realized on the night they didn't have the stomach for it, and instead had a lively discussion of mayo-based hot dips and how to make a boulevardier. Which was a much better use of my time, because I got a cocktail out of it.

aurelia, I had snapdragons that did pretty well indoors and were cat-safe. Though not cat-proof, mine regarded the plants as toys and proceeded to play kickball with them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
aurelia - philodendron or spider plant? In my experience they are both quite hardy and low maintenance - I'm not positive about the cat safety without doing some research but I have had them and cats in the same house without anything bad happening, for sure.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've had a particular spider plant for years. Murray the Gray Cat nibbles on it constantly. During warm weather I put the poor thing outside and let it recover from him for a few weeks. It's quite hardy and supposed to clean the air too.
