(no subject)
I scored some ridiculously cheap tickets to Rusalka, at the end of January. Now I need to dl a performance of the opera and, you know, learn something about the blasted thing, so I'm not going in cold. This courtesy of my recently discovered employee discount for nearly everything under the Canadian sun. I clearly now have to price Shaw Festival getaways.
I've started to read Middlemarch. I should have gotten a multi-volume edition, because it's one of those books that is so big, it hurts to read. My hands ache. My back aches. There is no way that this will be a comfortable reading experience. I actually find myself missing War and Peace, which had a much squishier cover, and was, on the whole, far more cuddly. I've set myself a blisteringly quick reading schedule, because I want this one down before the strike ends, which I'm hoping will be soon. So far: good! Witty and clever and... good. I wish I had more intelligent things to say about the subject, but honestly I'm so completely captivated by the human train wreck that is Dorothea Brooke, that I'm tongue-tied about anything else in the book. DOROTHEA! DON'T MARRY THE MUMMY! [No spoilers plz.] I will be updating you on the fascinating subject of my Middlemarch agonies (and dare I hope? ecstasies). Thrilling, I know.
What I didn't know is that:
Thank you, Kirby Alphabet. I feel so much closer to Our Lord Von Doom.
And my last bit of random for the evening, I need to see this movie. Have any of you see this movie?
