April 26, 2009

Dreamed of the Churchill speech where he said "Some chicken!... Some neck!" and reflecting on the people fighting the war who didn't prove so strong.


Saw the DVD of a Royal Opera production of Strauss' Die Fledermaus from 1990 where the show stopped for half an hour in the second act for Joan Sutherland's final performance there (with Luciano Pavarotti and Marilyn Horne). It was translated into English by John Mortimer.  I liked the "Bruderlein und Schwesterlein" number.


Updated my browser to Safari 4.  It now shows my most regularly accessed websites when I open it.


John and Kathrine came over for a vegan dinner. (I sneaked out to KFC afterward.)


Wrote a draft review of Madama Butterfly for mrcranky.com !
