We watched Maestro.

The acting was great, and there were some interesting cinematic flourishes. Bernstein's music was expertly tailored to underline the story.

It tells a specific slice of Bernstein's life, as envisioned by the creators. I think most will enjoy it as long as they aren't expecting a full, comprehensive bio pic.

A work colleague said that her oven broke yesterday. She has a house full of family and they won't be able to get out to service it until Jan 7th.

Oh no. I hope she figures something out.

I'm up, I'm up - was up just before noon - almost twelve hours of sleep, then I slept another thirty minutes. I was hoping I'd be well on my way to complete health, but I'm loaded with guck, cough in intermittent so far and one nose blow. So irritating.

Should go to the mail place but we'll have to see. For now, back to bed - I want this done tomorrow.

Ahh. I was wondering how much of his life was being told.
