A Question for BK and anyone else:  have you ever had Schwan's Home Delivery?  They've been coming to my work since I started working there in the 1980s.  They're a little pricy, but not horribly so, and I've pretty much been quite satisfied with their food...especially their pizzas. :)

Today, last year's Metropolitan Opera production of Akhnaten by Philip Glass will be shown on the Seattle PBS.  I wanted to see this filmed version when it was shown in the movie theaters, but I wasn't able to see either showings, and now I get to!  I also need to go to work for a bit and bring in my work laptop so that a couple of programs can be installed on it.  Ginny, one is OCLC.  I have that and the other program on my work computer, and it would be very helpful to have them on the laptop that I have.  Hopefully, it won't take long and I can just wait then take it home again with me.

I had two long bouts of being awake last night, but when I slept it was quite nice.  I dreamed I was recording in Dublin with Rob Berman.  I was eating a piece of cake that left crumbs everywhere.  The recording studio was the space where we had orchestra rehearsals for the Utah Festival Opera's Greenwillow in 1998.

We were recording I Married An Angel, and I think the singer doing "At the Roxy Music Hall" was my beloved Kim Criswell.

Last night we finished watching Wolf Hall.  Anne Boleyn's execution was very tense and nicely paced.  I think I might try the first book - the miniseries was based on the first two books of the trilogy - and see how I like it.  I'm still puzzled about using Wolf Hall as the title since the novels are essentially the life and execution of Thomas Cromwell, who was executed by Henry VIII - who later regretted it - for encouraging his ill-fated marriage to Anne of Cleves, but Wolf Hall is the name of the Seymour estate, family of Henry VIII's third wife.

Would you believe?

Today is Sandy and my 19th Wedding Anniversary!

Actually, we've been a couple for 24 years, but only married 19.

I started reading T.C. Boyle’s short stories, After the Plague, last night. Dreamed of the story, Termination Dust, about the killing snows of Alaska and the people who choose to live there.

Have you read his wonderful novel Water Music?

I dreamed about PILLS last night. And about having to deep clean carpets and bedspreads and whatnot of all kinds of messes.

Um, I should probably listen to that second part.

There was something else leading up to all of that but it won’t come into focus.

I've finished kitty cleanup, taken the recyclables to the basement, and picked up yesterday's mail.  When I came back to the apartment, I discovered that Stella has shredded another roll of toilet paper.

I’m surprised I didn’t dream about Jack in the Box. But now with today’s further mention of it, I probably will tonight.

Because ladies and germs, for the first time in years I am DYING for Jack in the Box.
