I'm off to explore Dublin! I thought I'd try my walk down to the National; Concert Hall, where we will record, stopping along the way at shops for postcards and sundries.
I'm meeting around 3pm an actor friend of my Dublin flight aisle-mate David. His name is Karl Harpur and his brother knows our production company from singing in RIVERDANCE. Tonight at 8:30, I'll meet Joe and Jonathan, our Dublin production team, and visit with them.
DR Jose, I liked much of PILLARS OF THE EARTH better than the mini-series. The novel's ending with the canonization of Thomas Beckett was a wonderful conclusion and a good lead in to THE CANTERBURY TALES. It's quite a good novel.
I've now begun an exploration into Zola's Rougon-Macquart novels; I'd read NANA, but I'm starting with L'ASSOMOIR, and I brought NANA to reread if I finish the other. I just added to my Amazon wish list the novels in the series LE BETE HUMAINE, GERMINAL, LE DEBACLE, and one about a Paris department store. The fight to the finish in a slum washroom was a fantastic opening in L'ASSOMOIR.
I'm off to terrorize Dublin.
