Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Not only am I grateful to have had the doctor, but am so thankful to my mother the drill Sargent who did my exercises with me every day, for years and years, and years.

Finishing up Cosi Fan Tutte - not really my thing musically, but it's a lot of fun and beautifully performed in fantastic monophonic sound. I really love Eleanor Steber and looking forward to Madame Butterfly next with her.

I'll watch something once this finishes. I got a Balanchine DVD at the used store, so that should be fun.

I couldn't understand very much of what was going on, but I got the gist of it. The acoustics at this theater are notoriously bad.

They have revised the security protocol this year. One can only take in a ziplock bag, and one must hold up their arms like you are being robbed while walking through the metal detector.

I don't believe there has ever been a security problem there, but, well, I guess this is the world we live in.

I'm up, I'm up - oh, wait. I've been attempting to watch stuff but snooze off repeatedly, so I'll re-watch the Balanchine ballets tomorrow. I've probably half-slept for about ninety minutes overall during the course of the so-called evening.

In from a night of dance practice. The place where we used to for social dances has a busted AC. The landlord isn’t getting it fixed.

I loved the opening, which was a jazz instrumental of Mack the Knife. Elliott Goldenthal did the score

Finishing up Madame Butterfly and then it's on to some composer and opera I've never heard of - El Gato Montes by Manuel Penella.

Had a surprise drop-in visit - Grant and Lydia Geissman and my old pal Gary Stockdale and his wife. Grant wanted them to see the house, so that was fun.

We moved a few more things after the nachos, so I was still hungry when I left.
