ast night I watched the La Scala production of Glazunov's ballet Raymonda, a late 19th century ballet set inFrance or Hungary during the Crusades. Raymonda is betrothed to Jean de Brienne but this wicked infidel falls in love with her. The dancing was nice, the story insipid, and the music - since I know little of Glazunov's compositions - was a revelation. It's one of the most glorious and colorful pieces of music I've ever heard, with wonderful writing for harp, piano, and celesta.

The ballet was long: 2 hrs and 34 minutes, but when it ended, I was so wired I couldn't sleep. I opened my laptop and looked up the score online to examine it. I finally got t5 bed after 11:30, two hours after I originally tunred off thew lights.

There's a march in Raymonda that makes use of a melody that I knew. I 've been racking my berain over it, and, after digging aroundf my iTunes, it's the Big Tune from Franz Liszt's Hungarian Fantasie for piano and orchestra. It's a Hungariamn folksong, "Mohac's Field."

From Ron:
Quote
I watched all 8 episodes of season 1 of "Outer Range" on Amazon Prime.  It stars Josh Brolin and Lili Taylor and Will Patton and a bunch of other pretty darned good actors.

It's a strange tale which I enjoyed.  A little too much singing by a couple of characters, one of whom seems to be auditioning for The Voice (to himself, that is).

Odd, with background music that is just a tad much for my taste but it does not detract from my fascination with where the story is going.

Hmmm, maybe we stopped watching too soon.  It just got so sad and dark.

How are those eye drops working for you?
Title: Re: THE TONIC
Post by: Jeanne on May 08, 2022, 03:22:25 PM
Jane, your long-awaited report on the Refresh Relieva eye drops:

The drops definitely help my dry eyes, more so even than some of the other brands I've been taking, such as Thera Tears singles. No irritation at all, not even in my wonky right eye that suffered the alcohol spray last year. The only problem I had was with the bottle itself. There's an instruction sheet in the box, which should be read, as it explains how to open the bottle and then prime it. It's not a big deal once you know how, but the first time requires some explanation. I suggest you give Relieva a try. I haven't tried the gel drops yet, but will post once I do. I'm using up some of my older drops and will switch to Relieva, but keep Bausch & Lomb Soothe and Similisan. I alternate so I don't get too much of any one.

I just refreshed my memory on the plot of The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek.

Having read the similar story, The Giver of Stars, I wanted to be sure I wasn't confusing any of the characters in the two novels.

Well, we went out with a great performance for a great, two-thirds-full audience. And so, this chapter is done for LA Now and Then and, for the most part, it really was a stellar run doing mostly half-houses (which is good for small theater at this time, with people still afraid to leave their homes thanks to yet more fear-mongering recently), with all appreciative audiences. Many laughs, much cheering today, which was, again, a tonic. After the show, about seven of us went to the Coral Cafe for some food and it was so much fun and I only wish we'd done that more often. After that, I came right home and am feeling the usual end-of-show let down on top of all the other stress that's been going on.

It was good.  I only ate a little more than half, and I'm still not hungry.

How are those eye drops working for you?


Have you seen those new eye drops (by prescription) that eliminate your need for cheaters readers?

My mother started out giving me flowers on opening nights, but after she saw how many shows I was doing, she stopped that practice.

I want to find a good Mexican restaurant in that area for my cousin and me to meet for lunch.

This afternoon, we went to Plaza Jalisco, which is just behind the Tumwater Dutch Bros. Coffee, at the intersection of Capitol Blvd., and Trosper Road, just off I-5.

I liked (and like) Plaza Jalisco.  I don't think there's another one in the area.

In Lacey, right off the freeway at the Hawks Prairie exit, on the right side as you head south, there's a Mayan Restaurant (https://www.mayanmexican.com/marvin-rd/).  Have you ever been there?

The same side as Hawk’s Prairie Restaurant was on?

The opposite side.  Take the exit and turn right onto Marvin Road, and it's pretty much right there.

I didn’t know there was anything on that side until you reached the traffic circle.
